About the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X280S
The SC32X280S is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 280 mm stroke is well within the 1000 mm maximum standard stroke for the 32 mm bore, making it a reliable workhorse for medium-reach linear tasks.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for non-contact position sensing. The 12 mm rod with M10x1.25 threads and 21 mm adjustable air cushion ensure smooth end-of-stroke deceleration.

Where the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X280S Is Used
Automated Sorting Gates
The built-in magnet and 280 mm stroke provide reliable end-of-stroke sensing for diverting packages on conveyor lines, ensuring precise gate position feedback at every cycle.
Small Part Clamping
Delivers 724 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding small components during assembly or light machining, with sensor confirmation of clamp engagement.
Laboratory Sampler Actuation
Compact 32 mm bore fits tight spaces on analytical equipment, extending a sampling probe 280 mm with clean, oil-free air operation and position verification via magnetic sensors.
Is the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X280S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC32X280S when your application needs sensor feedback from a compact cylinder. The built-in magnet eliminates external switch mounting hardware. If you require more force, step up to the SC40 series which provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa.
For a successful replacement, match five points: 32 mm bore, 280 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and your required mounting accessory. At this stroke length, ensure the rod is not subjected to significant side loads; an external guide or guided cylinder is recommended if lateral forces are present.
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 SC32X280S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the cylinder pushes with 402 N and pulls with 345 N. 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. You can directly mount AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors on the barrel to detect piston position without any additional brackets.
