The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X340S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 340mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X340S is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a 340 mm stroke, factory-equipped with a built-in magnet for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors. Its 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth deceleration at end-of-stroke, while the PT1/8 ports keep flow paths compact for smaller pneumatic circuits.
At 0.5 MPa air pressure, this cylinder generates 402 N of push force and 345 N on the pull stroke, rising to 724 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a body length A of 140 mm and a total extended length of approximately 480 mm, it fits well in space-constrained pick-and-place or sorting stations where sensor feedback is essential.

The built-in magnet allows CMSG sensors to confirm full extension and retraction, making the SC32X340S ideal for automated part-ejection gates where cycle verification is critical.
With 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this cylinder easily actuates diverter flaps on small-package conveyor lines, directing items without overpowering lightweight products.
The compact 32 mm bore and 340 mm reach suit automated test-tube or vial transfer arms in laboratory workcells, where sensor feedback ensures precise, repeatable motion.
Choose the SC32X340S when your application needs a light, sensor-ready actuator with a force around 400 N at standard shop air. If you require more push force, step up to the SC40 series which delivers 628 N at 0.5 MPa; for lighter, shorter-stroke tasks, a 25 mm or 50 mm stroke SC32 may be more compact. The 340 mm stroke is within the 1000 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 32.
For strokes of 300 mm or more, always check side-load conditions—the 12 mm rod can bend under off-axis forces. Use an external guide rail or a guided cylinder if the load is not perfectly aligned. When replacing an existing unit, match all five points: 32 mm bore, 340 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, basic footless mounting, and the -S magnet option for sensor compatibility.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa (5 bar) the cylinder produces 402 N extending and 345 N retracting. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 724 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in SC32X340S denotes a built-in magnet inside the piston. This allows AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors to be clamped directly onto the barrel tie-rod slots for end-of-stroke detection.
