The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X520S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 520mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X520S is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a 520 mm non-standard stroke, built for applications needing a compact tie-rod design with sensor feedback. With a 12 mm diameter rod and M10x1.25 knuckle thread, it delivers 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 724 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa.
This model includes the -S suffix, meaning a built-in magnet is fitted to the piston. This allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for precise end-of-stroke or mid-stroke position detection. The standard PT1/8 ports and TPU seals with a -20 to +70 °C range complete the assembly, with a 21 mm adjustable air cushion to decelerate the load smoothly.

The built-in magnet and 520 mm stroke suit conveyor diverters where CMSG sensors confirm full extension and retraction for reliable part sorting.
Provides 724 N of push force at 0.9 MPa for pressing components, with magnetic sensors verifying each cycle step in a compact assembly cell.
The 520 mm stroke operates a material flow gate, with sensors confirming the open/closed state in automated warehouse chutes.
The SC32X520S suits applications where the standard 1000 mm maximum stroke for a 32 mm bore is not needed, but a specific 520 mm length is required. When selecting, ensure the 520 mm stroke is within your mechanical constraints, as it is a non-standard length. If you need higher force, stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. For strokes over 300 mm on this 12 mm rod, avoid side loads or use an external guide to prevent rod bending. To match an existing cylinder, verify the 32 mm bore, 520 mm stroke, PT1/8 ports, basic mount, and the presence of the magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 345 N. The maximum push force at the 0.9 MPa operating limit is 724 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet, making it compatible with AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors that clamp onto the barrel for non-contact position sensing.
