The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X418S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 418mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X418S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, combining a 32 mm bore with a 418 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa operating pressure it delivers 402 N of push force and 345 N of pull force, driven by a 12 mm diameter piston rod with an M10x1.25 knuckle thread.
This model includes the -S suffix, meaning a built-in magnet is fitted to the piston. This allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to be clamped directly onto the barrel for non-contact position sensing. The adjustable air cushion at each end, with a 21 mm cushion length, decelerates the load smoothly, and the total extended body length is approximately 558 mm.

The built-in magnet enables CMSG/DMSG sensors to confirm end-of-stroke, making this cylinder ideal for diverting packages on a conveyor where position verification is required.
With 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and a 418 mm stroke, it provides the reach and gentle clamping force needed for electronic component testing or small assembly press-fit operations.
The 32 mm bore and long stroke suit modulating louvers or dampers in agricultural ventilation systems, where the magnet confirms the damper's open/closed status to the central controller.
Select the SC32X418S when your application needs a compact tie-rod cylinder with sensor feedback capability. If the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa is marginal, stepping up to the SC40 bore provides 628 N. For strokes beyond 300 mm on a 12 mm rod, avoid side loading; use an external linear guide or a guided cylinder to protect the rod bearing from bending moments.
For a direct replacement, match five points: 32 mm bore, 418 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration. This cylinder is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile and is not dimensionally interchangeable with that standard.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa (5 bar), 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 designates a built-in magnetic piston, so you can clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the barrel tie-rods to detect piston position without additional brackets.
