The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X30SN 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 SC32X30SN is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a 30 mm stroke, delivering a push force of 402 N at 0.5 MPa. Its 12 mm diameter piston rod and M10x1.25 rod thread suit light-duty clamping, sorting, and ejector tasks where space is tight.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG or DMSG reed switches, enabling simple end-of-stroke sensing without external brackets. The NBR seal (-N) provides reliable sealing for standard industrial air, and the PT1/8 port thread keeps the pneumatic connection compact.

The 30 mm stroke and 402 N push force eject lightweight plastic or metal components from small moulds or assembly nests with repeatable precision.
Operates small diverter gates on mini conveyor lines. The built-in magnet confirms gate position, preventing product jams in packaging or sorting systems.
Gently clamps vials or microplates in diagnostic instruments. The NBR seals and compact 32 mm bore fit the clean, space-constrained interiors of benchtop analyzers.
Choose the SC32X30SN for short-throw actuation up to 402 N at 0.5 MPa. For higher force, step up to the SC40 series, which provides 628 N at the same pressure. The 30 mm stroke is well within the 32 mm bore’s 1000 mm maximum standard stroke, so no special stroke considerations apply.
To ensure a drop-in replacement, match five points: 32 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor mounting, and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration. Always verify the total extended length of 170 mm (body length A 140 mm + 30 mm stroke) fits your envelope.
Quick checklist
At 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 reaches 724 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet, so AirTAC CMSG or DMSG series sensors clip directly onto the barrel for non-contact end-of-stroke detection. No external brackets are needed.
