The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X250SN 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 SC32X250SN is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 724 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. Its 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth end-of-stroke deceleration for a 250 mm stroke.
This model features a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, enabling precise position feedback without external brackets. The NBR seals (-N suffix) offer reliable performance within the standard temperature range of -20 to +70 °C, making it a practical choice for general industrial automation tasks.

The built-in magnet allows CMSG/DMSG sensors to clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel, providing accurate mid-stroke or end-of-stroke signals for high-speed part sorting and ejection systems.
With 402 N of push force at standard line pressure, this 250 mm stroke cylinder reliably actuates lightweight product diverters, gates, or lane guides on packaging conveyors.
The SC32's 140 mm body length keeps the overall footprint small. The NBR seals and adjustable cushion make it suitable for repetitive clamping of components in light assembly jigs.
For applications requiring more force, stepping up to the SC40 bore provides 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. When replacing an existing cylinder, ensure a 5-point match: 32 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet for sensors, and the basic mounting configuration.
At a 250 mm stroke, the 12 mm rod is well-supported within standard limits, but always avoid direct side loading. For guided motion, consider pairing this unit with an external linear guide to protect the rod bearing from bending moments.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the theoretical push force is 402 N and the pull force is 345 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 724 N.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet, so AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors can be mounted directly on the cylinder barrel for contactless position detection.
