The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X250S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 250mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X250S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 250 mm stroke, pre-fitted with a built-in magnet for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. At 0.5 MPa it provides 402 N of push force, making it a compact workhorse for light automation tasks.
This model uses a 12 mm piston rod with M10x1.25 male threads and PT1/8 ports. The adjustable air cushion (21 mm length) softens end-of-stroke impact, and the body length A is 140 mm. The -S suffix indicates the integral magnet, allowing easy position feedback without external brackets.

Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

The built-in magnet allows CMSG sensors to confirm extend/retract positions, ideal for small part handling where cycle verification is required.
At 250 mm stroke, this cylinder suits narrow conveyor lanes for diverting or stopping small packages, with end-of-stroke cushioning to protect product.
Light force (402 N at 0.5 MPa) and clean double-acting control fit test-tube handling, lid opening, or reagent dispensing mechanisms.
Choose the SC32 when space is tight and force requirements are below 400 N at standard plant pressure. If your load approaches 600 N, step up to the SC40 bore (628 N push at 0.5 MPa). For this 250 mm stroke, side-loading is rarely an issue with the 12 mm rod, but always align the load axially.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 32 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, PT1/8 ports, basic mounting (no brackets), and the -S magnet option. The SC is a tie-rod design, not an ISO 15552 profile, so verify body length A (140 mm) against your mounting space.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the push force is 563 N. The pull force at the same pressure is 483 N (based on the 345 N pull at 0.5 MPa scaled proportionally). Maximum operating force at 0.9 MPa is 724 N push.
Yes. The -S suffix means a magnet is built into the piston. You can clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the barrel tie-rod tube to detect piston position without extra mounting hardware.
