The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X245S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 245mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X245S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (563 N at 0.7 MPa), making it a capable actuator for light to medium automation tasks. Its 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth deceleration at stroke end, while the 140 mm body length keeps the footprint compact.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to be mounted directly on the tie-rod barrel for reliable end-of-stroke or mid-stroke position sensing. The 245 mm stroke is within the 1000 mm maximum standard range for the 32 mm bore, and the cylinder operates on filtered air at 0.15–1.0 MPa with standard TPU seals rated for -20 to +70 °C.

The 402 N push force and 245 mm stroke suit pick-and-place or diverting gates on compact conveyor lines, where the built-in magnet enables sensor feedback for cycle counting.
Clean, oil-free air operation and adjustable cushioning make this 32 mm bore cylinder ideal for test fixtures, vial capping, or light carton sealing with smooth end-of-stroke motion.
Use the SC32X245S for holding fixtures or light-duty pressing jigs. The 724 N theoretical force at 0.9 MPa provides ample clamping power for woodworking or assembly stations.
Choose the SC32X245S when your application needs up to 402 N of force at standard shop air pressure. If you require more thrust, step up to the SC40 bore, which provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. For strokes over 300 mm on this 12 mm rod, consider an external guide or a guided cylinder to protect the rod bearing from side loads.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five key points: 32 mm bore, 245 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor mounting, and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration. This tie-rod cylinder is shorter than an ISO 15552 unit and is dimensionally interchangeable only with another AirTAC SC32 of the same stroke and options.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder pushes with 402 N and pulls with 345 N. At 0.7 MPa the push force rises to 563 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it reaches 724 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code SC32X245S indicates a built-in magnet on the piston. This allows you to clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the cylinder barrel to sense end-of-stroke or intermediate positions.
