The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X510S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 510mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X510S is a double-acting single-rod tie-rod cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a non-standard 510 mm stroke, exceeding the standard 1000 mm maximum for this bore. It delivers 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 724 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, making it suitable for light to medium automation tasks.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the barrel for precise end-of-stroke or mid-stroke position sensing. The 12 mm diameter rod features an M10x1.25 thread, and the body length A is 140 mm, resulting in a total extended length of approximately 650 mm.

The 510 mm stroke and 724 N max force eject lightweight plastic or metal parts from assembly nests, with the magnetic piston confirming full extension via a barrel-mounted sensor.
Operates a narrow diverter gate on a conveyor line. The 12 mm rod is light and fast, and the -S magnet provides gate-open confirmation to the line controller.
Provides linear motion for test-tube handling or slide preparation in compact lab equipment. The 402 N force at 0.5 MPa is well-suited for delicate, repetitive pick-and-place tasks.
Select the SC32 bore for light-duty applications needing up to 724 N of thrust. If your load requires more force, step up to the SC40 bore, which provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. For this 510 mm stroke, the rod is long relative to its 12 mm diameter; ensure the load is guided externally to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear. Side loading on an unsupported rod will drastically reduce seal life.
For a direct replacement, match five key points: 32 mm bore, 510 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility, and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration. This is a non-standard stroke, so confirm lead time with your supplier.
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 increases to 724 N.
For strokes over 300 mm, especially with a 12 mm rod, side loads must be avoided. Use an external linear guide or rod support to carry the load, ensuring the cylinder rod only provides push/pull force. This prevents bending and extends bearing life.
