The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X450S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 450mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X450S is a double-acting single-rod tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 450 mm stroke makes it a solid choice for medium-reach material handling and assembly automation tasks.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), so CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors clamp directly onto the barrel for clean, non-contact position sensing. The 12 mm piston rod features an M10x1.25 knuckle thread, and the 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly to reduce end-of-stroke impact.

Pneumatic diverters and gates in conveyor systems use the 450 mm stroke to sweep lightweight packages onto branch lines. The built-in magnet simplifies end-of-travel confirmation.
Delivers 724 N at 0.9 MPa for pressing bushings, pins, or connectors into housings in benchtop assembly fixtures. The adjustable cushion protects delicate parts.
Moves pipette heads or reagent trays in diagnostic instruments. The magnetic piston allows clean sensor feedback without adding external flags or brackets.
For higher force requirements, consider stepping up to the SC40 bore, which provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: 32 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration.
At 450 mm of stroke, the 12 mm rod is relatively slender. If the load applies any side force or is not guided externally, the rod bearing experiences bending stress. Use an external guide rail or a guided cylinder to protect the rod and seals from premature wear.
Quick checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet in the piston. AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel to detect piston position without any additional mounting hardware.
