About the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X400SN
The SC32X400SN is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 400 mm stroke, delivering a push force of 402 N at 0.5 MPa (up to 724 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable deceleration for moderate loads in compact automation.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, enabling precise end-of-stroke detection without external brackets. The NBR seal (-N) offers consistent performance across the standard temperature range of -20 to +70 °C, making it a solid choice for general industrial tasks.

Where the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X400SN Is Used
Small Part Sorting
The 400 mm stroke and integrated sensor magnet make this cylinder ideal for pushing or diverting lightweight packages on conveyor lines, with reliable end-of-stroke confirmation.
Assembly Fixture Clamping
Delivers 724 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa, suitable for holding small components during gluing, welding, or screw-driving operations in automated assembly cells.
Lab Automation
The NBR seals and compact tie-rod body suit repetitive pick-and-place tasks in laboratory analysers, where a 400 mm reach is needed to transfer samples between stations.
Is the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X400SN the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the 40 mm bore SC40 series provides 628 N of push force at the same 0.5 MPa pressure. If your load is lighter and speed is critical, the 32 mm bore remains an excellent fit for its fast 30-800 mm/s speed range.
With a 400 mm stroke, ensure the load is guided externally if side forces are present; the 12 mm rod can experience bending under high side loads. When replacing an existing cylinder, match the 32 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, NBR seal, and the built-in magnet configuration to guarantee drop-in compatibility.

- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X400SN FAQ
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.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet in the piston, allowing AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to be clamped directly onto the cylinder barrel for contactless position sensing.
