The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X265S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 265mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X265S is a double-acting AirTAC tie-rod cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a 265 mm stroke, pre-equipped with a built-in magnet for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. This mid-stroke configuration delivers a push force of 402 N at 0.5 MPa and 724 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, driven by a 12 mm diameter piston rod with an M10x1.25 knuckle thread.
With a compact body length A of just 140 mm, the total extended length reaches approximately 405 mm. The cylinder features adjustable pneumatic cushioning over a 21 mm stroke length to decelerate end-of-travel impacts, operating smoothly within a speed range of 30-800 mm/s on standard PT1/8 ports. The -S magnet variant allows for seamless integration into automated lines requiring piston position feedback without external brackets.

The 32 mm bore and 265 mm stroke suit pick-and-place units in electronics or small-component assembly, where the built-in magnet enables end-of-stroke sensing for high-cycle sequencing.
Ideal for actuating lightweight diverter flaps on packaging conveyors. The 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily shifts small parcels, and the magnetic piston confirms gate position.
Fits liquid handling or test-tube sorting mechanisms requiring a clean, oil-free air supply. The sensor-ready barrel allows precise homing and cycle counting in diagnostic instruments.
For applications needing slightly more force, stepping up to the 40 mm bore SC40 series provides 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. When replacing an existing unit, ensure a 5-point match: 32 mm bore, 265 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S suffix), and the basic mounting style. This cylinder is a tie-rod design, not an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to other AirTAC SC32 tie-rod cylinders.
At a 265 mm stroke, the 12 mm rod is relatively slender. If the application involves any off-axis or side loading, an external linear guide rail should be paired with the cylinder to prevent rod bending, bearing wear, and premature seal failure. The built-in magnet simplifies sensor installation but does not affect the mechanical load limits of the rod assembly.
Quick checklist
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the cylinder produces 402 N of push force and 345 N of pull force. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 724 N.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet in the piston, allowing AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors to be clamped directly onto the barrel tie-rods for non-contact position detection.
