The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X450SN 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 SC32X450SN is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth deceleration across the 450 mm stroke, making it a compact workhorse for light automation tasks.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors, eliminating the need for external switch brackets. The NBR seal (-N suffix) offers reliable sealing in standard industrial environments, and the PT1/8 port thread ensures straightforward pneumatic connection.

The 450 mm stroke and built-in magnet for end-of-stroke sensing make this cylinder ideal for ejecting lightweight parts from an assembly fixture or small press, confirming each cycle.
Use the SC32X450SN to actuate a diverter gate on a small conveyor line. The 402 N push force easily handles lightweight packages, while the NBR seals are cost-effective for clean environments.
With its 450 mm reach and precise cushioning, this cylinder can extend a sampling probe in a lab automation setup. The sensor-ready magnet confirms full extension or retraction for process control.
Choose the SC32 for applications needing up to 402 N at 0.5 MPa. If your load requires more force, step up to the SC40 bore, which provides 628 N at the same pressure. For strokes of 300 mm or more, like this 450 mm unit, be mindful of side loads; the 12 mm rod can bend under significant radial force. Use an external guide or a guided cylinder if side loading is present.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five key points: 32 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility, and the NBR seal material. This cylinder is not an ISO 15552 profile and is shorter than that standard, so it directly replaces another AirTAC SC32 of the same configuration.
Quick checklist
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the force increases to 724 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code indicates a built-in magnet around the piston. This allows you to directly mount AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG series reed and solid-state sensors on the cylinder barrel to detect piston position without any additional brackets.
