About the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X500S
The AirTAC SC32X500S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 32 mm bore houses a 12 mm diameter piston rod with M10x1.25 male threads, and the 500 mm stroke reaches the maximum standard length for this bore size.
This model includes the -S suffix for a built-in magnet, allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke position sensing. The adjustable pneumatic cushion (21 mm) decelerates the piston smoothly at both ends, and the compact tie-rod body measures 140 mm (A dimension) plus stroke.

Where the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X500S Is Used
Small Part Ejection
The 500 mm stroke and compact 32 mm bore suit pick-and-place mechanisms ejecting lightweight plastic or metal parts from injection moulding tools, with magnetic sensors confirming full extension.
Diverter Gate Actuation
Operates a narrow diverter gate on a packaging conveyor. The 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa is sufficient for small flaps, and the built-in magnet provides gate-open confirmation.
Lab Automation Slide
Drives a sample tray or pipette slide in laboratory automation. The clean, filtered-air operation and sensor-ready barrel support precise, repeatable linear positioning.
Is the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X500S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC32 when your application needs up to 724 N of thrust at 0.9 MPa. If you require more force, step up to the SC40 (628 N at 0.5 MPa). At 500 mm stroke, the 12 mm rod is relatively slender—avoid side loads or pair the cylinder with an external linear guide to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear. For replacement, match five points: 32 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, basic mount (no bracket), and the -S magnet option for sensor compatibility.
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 SC32X500S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder pushes with 402 N and pulls with 345 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 724 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet around the piston, so AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors clip directly onto the barrel tie-rods to detect piston position without additional brackets.
