About the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X460S
The SC32X460S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at 0.9 MPa) from its 32 mm bore. With a 460 mm stroke and a 12 mm diameter piston rod, it suits medium-reach linear tasks where sensor feedback is required.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke position sensing. The adjustable air cushion (21 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly, and the PT1/8 port thread connects to standard pneumatic fittings.

Where the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X460S Is Used
Sensor-Equipped Sorting Gates
The built-in magnet enables CMSG/DMSG sensors to confirm gate position, directing packages on conveyors with reliable 402 N push force.
Light Assembly Presses
Delivers 724 N at 0.9 MPa for pressing small components. The 460 mm stroke provides ample clearance for part loading and unloading.
Product Diverters
Actuates diverter arms in material handling lines. Sensor feedback ensures the arm is fully retracted before the next product passes.
Is the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X460S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC32 bore for light-duty actuation up to 724 N at 0.9 MPa. If your load exceeds this, step up to the SC40 bore (628 N push at 0.5 MPa). For this 460 mm stroke, ensure the rod is not subjected to side loading; an external linear guide or a guided cylinder is recommended to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 32 mm bore, 460 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility, and the basic (no bracket) mounting. This SC model is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X460S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, 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, so AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG series reed and solid-state sensors can be clamped directly onto the cylinder barrel for position detection.
