The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X30SFA 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 SC32X30SFA delivers a compact 30 mm stroke from the 32 mm bore SC tie-rod platform, producing 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 12 mm piston rod and M10x1.25 rod thread suit light clamping, sorting, and ejector tasks where a short, precise linear movement is needed.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors, enabling rod-position feedback without external brackets. The FA suffix designates a front rectangular flange (F-SC32FA) that bolts onto the rod-end head, simplifying face-mount installation onto machine frames or panels.

Short 30 mm stroke with 402 N push force ejects small plastic or metal parts from injection molds or stamping dies, with the -S magnet confirming full retraction via a barrel-mounted sensor.
The front flange mount (FA) secures the cylinder perpendicular to a conveyor rail, extending a 12 mm rod to divert cartons or pouches. Adjustable cushioning reduces end-of-stroke shock.
Clean, dry-air operation and TPU seals suit benchtop automation. The 30 mm stroke clamps vials or microplates, with magnetic sensors confirming clamp position before liquid handling steps.
For applications needing slightly more force, the next step up is the 40 mm bore SC series, which provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. The SC32X30SFA matches a specific configuration: 32 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, front flange mounting (FA), and a built-in magnet for sensor feedback. When replacing an existing cylinder, verify all five points—bore, stroke, port thread, mounting style, and magnet option—to ensure a direct dimensional and functional match with the previous AirTAC SC unit.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa supply pressure, the 32 mm bore generates 563 N of push force on the extension stroke. The pull force on retraction is 345 N at 0.5 MPa, scaling proportionally with pressure up to the 1.0 MPa maximum.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet on the piston. AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel to detect rod position without external flags or brackets.
