About the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X260S
The AirTAC SC32X260S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 260 mm stroke is well within the 1000 mm maximum standard stroke for the 32 mm bore, making it a versatile workhorse for medium-reach linear tasks.
The built-in magnet (suffix -S) allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the tie-rod barrel for precise, non-contact position feedback. It features a 12 mm diameter piston rod with M10x1.25 threads, a 21 mm adjustable air cushion, and PT1/8 ports.

Where the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X260S Is Used
Packaging Line Diverters
The 260 mm stroke and magnetic position sensing make it ideal for pushing cartons onto parallel conveyors, confirming full extension and retraction at high cycle rates.
Automated Test Fixtures
Use the SC32X260S to clamp or probe components in a test station. The built-in magnet confirms the rod is retracted before the next part is loaded, preventing collisions.
Small Gate Actuators
With 724 N of force at 0.9 MPa, it reliably opens and closes small sorting gates or chutes on agricultural equipment, with sensors verifying the gate position.
Is the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X260S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC32X260S when you need a compact cylinder with sensor-ready feedback. The 32 mm bore provides 402 N at 0.5 MPa; if your load is heavier, step up to the SC40 bore for 628 N of force. For side loads or strokes over 300 mm, consider an external guide to protect the 12 mm rod from bending stress.
For a direct replacement, match five key points: 32 mm bore, 260 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and basic mounting. This is a genuine AirTAC tie-rod cylinder, shorter than an ISO 15552 profile, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable with those standards.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X260S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, it delivers 402 N pushing and 345 N pulling. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the pushing force increases to 724 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix denotes a built-in magnet, so AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors can be clamped directly onto the cylinder's tie-rod barrel for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke position sensing.
