The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X380S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 380mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X380S is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder delivering 402 N of push force and 345 N of pull force when operated at 0.5 MPa. With a 32 mm bore and a 380 mm stroke, it provides a compact yet powerful linear motion solution for medium-reach applications.
This model features a built-in magnet (suffix -S) allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the barrel for contactless position sensing. The 12 mm diameter rod and PT1/8 ports keep the unit lightweight, while the adjustable air cushion (21 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at end-of-stroke to reduce impact noise.

The 380 mm stroke and magnetic piston sensing make this cylinder ideal for actuating diverter gates on compact conveyor lines, providing reliable position feedback to the PLC for high-speed sortation of small packages.
With 402 N of push force, the SC32X380S can clamp or position components in electronic test stations. The built-in magnet allows engineers to confirm full extension and retraction with CMSG sensors, ensuring test cycle integrity.
The 380 mm reach is well-suited for label tamp-blow applicators. The adjustable cushioning protects the label roll from impact damage, while the magnetic sensors provide precise timing signals for the application cycle.
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N push at 0.5 MPa. This 380 mm stroke is within the 1000 mm maximum standard stroke for the 32 mm bore. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 32 mm bore, 380 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic mounting configuration.
At 380 mm of extension, the 12 mm rod is relatively slender. If the load applies any side force or the cylinder is mounted horizontally with a heavy end-effector, consider an external linear guide or a guided cylinder to protect the rod bearing from bending and premature wear.
Quick checklist
At the standard operating pressure of 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 increases to 724 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet in the piston, which is required for mounting AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the cylinder barrel's sensor grooves.
