The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X525S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 525mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X525S is a double-acting single-rod tie-rod cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a non-standard 525 mm stroke, exceeding the standard 1000 mm maximum for this bore. 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, making it suitable for light automation tasks requiring an extended reach.
The built-in magnet (denoted by the -S suffix) allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors along the barrel for precise, contactless position feedback. The cylinder features a 12 mm diameter rod with M10x1.25 threads, PT1/8 ports, and a 21 mm adjustable air cushion to decelerate the piston smoothly at end of stroke.

The 525 mm stroke moves lightweight components between distant conveyor stations in packaging lines, with sensor feedback confirming full extension and retraction.
Operates a long-throw diverter gate in material handling, using the built-in magnet to signal position to the PLC for high-speed sortation logic.
Provides linear motion for sampling arms in diagnostic equipment, where the clean, lubricated air operation and sensor-ready barrel ensure repeatable positioning.
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. The 525 mm stroke is non-standard and requires a made-to-order configuration. For strokes of this length, ensure the load is guided externally to prevent side-load bending on the 12 mm rod, as tie-rod cylinders are not designed to absorb significant lateral forces. To replace an existing unit, match the 32 mm bore, 525 mm stroke, PT port thread, and the -S magnet option.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the theoretical push force is 563 N. The pull force on the return stroke is 345 N at 0.5 MPa. Always apply a safety factor for real-world dynamic loads.
No, the maximum standard stroke for a 32 mm bore SC cylinder is 1000 mm, but 525 mm is not a standard increment. This is a non-standard stroke length and is typically made-to-order. Standard strokes include 500 mm and 600 mm.
