The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X400SLB 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 SC32X400SLB is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a capable compact actuator for medium-stroke automation tasks. With a 12 mm piston rod and a 21 mm adjustable air cushion, it decelerates the load smoothly at each end of the 400 mm stroke, reducing impact and noise.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG solid-state or reed sensors, enabling precise end-of-stroke detection without external brackets. The LB foot mount (F-SC32LB) provides stable axial surface mounting, ideal for linear transfer and clamping operations.

The 400 mm stroke and 402 N push force reliably divert lightweight packages or components on conveyor lines, with sensor feedback confirming each cycle.
Built-in magnet allows CMSG/DMSG sensors to verify clamp position in automated assembly fixtures, protecting tooling and parts from incomplete actuation.
Delivers consistent linear motion for label applicators or hot-stamp presses, where the adjustable cushion prevents bounce and ensures clean imprint quality.
Choose the SC32X400SLB when your application needs a compact 32 mm bore with sensor-ready position feedback and a stable foot-mounted installation. If the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa is marginal, stepping up to the SC40 bore provides 628 N at the same pressure. For strokes over 300 mm, ensure the rod is guided externally if side loads are present, as the 12 mm rod can deflect under lateral force.
For a direct replacement, match five key points: 32 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, LB foot mounting (F-SC32LB), and the built-in magnet (-S). The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body than ISO 15552 profiles, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to another AirTAC SC32 of the same configuration.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC32 bore generates 563 N of push force. The maximum push force at 0.9 MPa is 724 N. The theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter overall body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 mounts or footprints. Use it to replace another AirTAC SC32 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, LB mount, and magnet.
