The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X270S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 270mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X270S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 270 mm stroke is well within the 1000 mm maximum standard stroke for the 32 mm bore, making this a standard-configuration unit with a 12 mm diameter piston rod and M10x1.25 rod thread.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to be mounted directly onto the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position sensing. The adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly, with a 21 mm cushion length to absorb end-of-stroke impact.

The built-in magnet enables precise end-of-stroke detection for diverting small packages or components on a conveyor line, confirming gate position with CMSG/DMSG sensors.
Lightweight gripper actuation with 402 N of force at standard line pressure, ideal for compact automation cells where sensor confirmation of jaw open/close is required.
The 32 mm bore provides smooth, controlled linear motion for pipetting or dispensing heads, with the magnetic piston allowing cycle counting and position verification.
Choose the SC32X270S when your application needs around 400 N of force and sensor feedback is required. If you need more thrust, stepping up to the SC40 bore provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. For strokes of 270 mm, ensure the rod is not subjected to significant side loading; if lateral forces are present, consider an external linear guide or a guided cylinder variant.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five key points: 32 mm bore, 270 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration. This is a tie-rod design, not an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to another AirTAC SC32 cylinder.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the 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. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet in the piston, which is required for mounting AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the cylinder's tie-rod barrel to detect piston position.
