The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X45S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 45mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X45S is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 45 mm stroke suits short linear movements in confined spaces, with a 12 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/8 ports for straightforward pneumatic connections.
This model includes a built-in magnet (suffix -S), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for non-contact position sensing. The adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly, and the TPU seals provide reliable operation from -20 to +70 °C.

The 45 mm stroke and sensor-ready magnet allow precise, monitored actuation of diverter gates on compact conveyor lines for electronics or pharmaceutical sorting.
Light 402 N force at 0.5 MPa is ideal for clamping test tubes or microplates in automated lab workstations, with magnetic sensors confirming clamp position.
Delivers a controlled 724 N at 0.9 MPa for light staking, crimping, or assembly pressing of small plastic and metal components in benchtop fixtures.
The SC32 bore suits light actuation tasks. If you need more force, stepping up to the SC40 bore provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa—a 56% increase. For lighter, faster moves, the SC32 remains the right choice.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 32 mm bore, 45 mm stroke, PT1/8 ports, the built-in magnet (-S suffix), and the basic (no bracket) mounting style. The SC is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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 in SC32X45S indicates a built-in magnet inside the piston. You can directly mount AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors on the barrel to detect end-of-stroke or intermediate positions without additional brackets.
