The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X430S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 430mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X430S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 430 mm stroke, delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable deceleration for medium-speed automation tasks.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position sensing. The cylinder body length is 140 mm, yielding a total extended length of approximately 570 mm, making it a compact choice for space-constrained pick-and-place systems.

The built-in magnet allows CMSG/DMSG sensors to confirm gate position, directing parts on conveyors with the 402 N push force at standard line pressure.
With a 430 mm stroke, this cylinder can push lightweight cartons or trays across a packaging line, and the adjustable cushion reduces end-of-stroke impact noise.
The compact 32 mm bore and TPU seals suit clean, room-temperature environments, while the magnet enables precise end-of-travel verification for automated sampling mechanisms.
For applications needing more force, consider stepping up to the 40 mm bore SC40 series, which provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. When replacing an existing unit, match all five key points: 32 mm bore, 430 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration. The 430 mm stroke is within the 1000 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
At this stroke length, ensure the 12 mm rod is not subjected to significant side loads. If the load is not guided externally, consider adding an external linear guide or switching to a guided cylinder to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 402 N pushing and 345 N pulling. 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, so AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors can be clamped directly onto the tie-rod barrel without additional brackets or magnet rings.
