The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X400S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 400mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X400S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 724 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 32 mm bore, 12 mm piston rod, and a 400 mm stroke, it is well-suited for medium-reach clamping, sorting, and light transfer tasks where sensor feedback is required.
A built-in magnet (suffix -S) is integrated into the piston, allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to be mounted directly on the barrel for reliable end-of-stroke or mid-stroke position sensing. The body length A is 140 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 540 mm, and the adjustable air cushion (21 mm) helps decelerate the load smoothly at both ends.

The built-in magnet enables CMSG/DMSG sensors to confirm extend and retract positions, making this cylinder ideal for automated pick-and-place stations requiring cycle verification.
With 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the SC32X400S can actuate small diverters or stops on light-duty packaging and assembly conveyors, with sensors confirming gate position.
Use the 400 mm stroke and sensor feedback to move probes or clamps in electronics and component test fixtures, where precise end-of-stroke confirmation is critical.
Choose the SC32X400S when your application needs a compact 32 mm bore with integrated position sensing. If you require higher force, the SC40 series provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa, while the SC32 remains the lighter, more economical choice for lower loads. For strokes of 300 mm or more, evaluate side-load conditions carefully—a 12 mm rod extended 400 mm can bend under off-axis forces; consider an external guide rail or a guided cylinder if side loads are present.
To replace an existing unit, match five points: bore (32 mm), stroke (400 mm), PT1/8 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility, and the basic (no-bracket) mounting. This cylinder is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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, 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, DMSG, or EMSG sensors can be clamped directly onto the barrel to detect piston position without external brackets.
