The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X530S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 530mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X530S is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a non-standard 530 mm stroke, exceeding the standard 1000 mm maximum for this bore. It generates a push force of 402 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 724 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, making it suitable for light to medium actuation tasks.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing easy mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors directly onto the tie-rod barrel for precise position feedback. The 12 mm diameter rod features an M10x1.25 thread, and the body length A is 140 mm, with an adjustable air cushion of 21 mm to decelerate the piston smoothly.

The 530 mm stroke and sensor-ready design make it ideal for diverting or sorting small packages on conveyor lines, where mid-stroke position confirmation is required.
Used in pick-and-place mechanisms or clamping fixtures, the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa provides reliable holding for light component assembly.
The adjustable cushion and sensor feedback support precise, repeatable linear motion in test stands and laboratory automation setups.
For applications requiring slightly more force, consider stepping up to the 40 mm bore SC40 series, which offers 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa. With a 530 mm stroke, this cylinder has a significant extended length; ensure the 12 mm rod is adequately supported against side loads. An external guide or a guided cylinder is recommended to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear.
For a direct replacement, match these five specifications: 32 mm bore, 530 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic mounting, and the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility. This tie-rod cylinder is dimensionally shorter than an ISO 15552 profile and is not a drop-in replacement for that standard.
Quick checklist
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 increases to 724 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. For a replacement, match an AirTAC SC32 with the same stroke, port, and magnet option.
