The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X272S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 272mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X272S is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 272 mm stroke is within the standard range for the 32 mm bore, which supports strokes up to 1000 mm. The 12 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/8 ports make it a compact choice for light automation tasks.
This model includes a built-in magnet, allowing easy mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors directly on the tie-rod barrel for precise end-of-stroke or mid-stroke position sensing. The body length A is 140 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 412 mm.

Actuates diverter gates on compact conveyor systems, where the 402 N push force easily handles lightweight product sorting.
The built-in magnet enables precise position feedback for automated clamping of small electronic components during assembly.
Operates pipette dispensing mechanisms or microplate handlers, benefiting from the clean, filtered air operation and compact 32 mm profile.
Choose the SC32 bore for light-duty push/pull applications up to 724 N. If your force requirement exceeds this, step up to the SC40 bore, which provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. For strokes over 300 mm on a 12 mm rod, be mindful of side loading—consider an external linear guide or a guided cylinder to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear. When replacing, match the 32 mm bore, 272 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, basic mounting, and the -S magnet option to ensure sensor compatibility.
Quick checklist
At the standard operating pressure of 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 increases to 724 N.
Yes. The -S suffix in SC32X272S designates a built-in magnet. This allows you to clamp CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the cylinder's tie-rod barrel to detect piston position.
