The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X30S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 30mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X30S is a compact double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 30 mm stroke suits short-throw clamping, ejecting, and sorting tasks where space is tight.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to be mounted directly on the tie-rod barrel for reliable end-of-stroke detection. The 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth deceleration in high-cycle applications.

The 30 mm stroke and 402 N force at 0.5 MPa are ideal for fixturing and clamping small components in CNC machining or assembly cells.
Fast 30-800 mm/s speed range and sensor-ready magnet allow precise diverter gate actuation on packaging and material-handling conveyors.
Compact 32 mm bore and short stroke fit vial capping, test-tube handling, and micro-plate positioning in laboratory automation equipment.
Choose the SC32 for light-duty actuation up to 724 N. If you need more force, step up to the SC40 which provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. For replacement, match bore (32 mm), stroke (30 mm), PT port thread, and the built-in magnet (-S) to retain sensor compatibility. The tie-rod design is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to other AirTAC SC32 units.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa (approx. 73 psi) the cylinder pushes with 402 N and pulls with 345 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 724 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet on the piston, so you can clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the tie-rod barrel to detect piston position without additional brackets.
