The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X280SN is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 280mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X280SN is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion make it well-suited for light automation tasks requiring a 280 mm stroke.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, enabling precise position feedback. The NBR seal (-N suffix) provides reliable sealing for standard industrial air supplies, and the PT1/8 port thread keeps connections compact.

The 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa cleanly ejects lightweight plastic or metal components from assembly fixtures, with sensor confirmation via the built-in magnet.
Actuates narrow diverter gates on packaging conveyors. The 280 mm stroke provides ample travel, and the NBR seals handle typical shop air conditions.
Positions sampling probes in analytical equipment. The adjustable cushion ensures smooth, vibration-free stops, protecting delicate glassware or sensors.
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the SC40 bore provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. This 280 mm stroke is within the standard range for the 32 mm bore (max 1000 mm), but always ensure side loads are minimal or use an external guide to protect the 12 mm rod from bending. When replacing an existing cylinder, match bore, stroke, PT port thread, the -S magnet option, and the NBR seal material to ensure identical fit and function.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, it produces 402 N extending and 345 N retracting. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the extending force reaches 724 N.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code indicates a built-in magnet, allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to be clamped directly onto the cylinder barrel for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke detection.
