The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X540S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 540mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X540S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a non-standard 540 mm stroke, exceeding the standard 1000 mm maximum for this bore family. 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, driven by a 12 mm diameter piston rod.
This model includes the -S suffix, integrating a magnet into the piston. This allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to be clamped directly onto the barrel for reliable end-of-stroke or mid-stroke position sensing. The cylinder uses a PT1/8 port, an M10x1.25 rod thread, and adjustable air cushioning for smooth deceleration.

The 540 mm stroke and magnetic piston sensing make this cylinder ideal for diverting packages on conveyor lines, providing precise gate position feedback to the PLC at both ends of travel.
Transfers light components between two distant points on an assembly station. The sensor confirms the part has been fully pushed or retracted before the next cycle starts.
Moves a sampling probe vertically in a clean, light-duty environment. The non-standard stroke reaches deep into sample racks, while the magnet confirms the probe's parked position.
For applications requiring more force, stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. This 540 mm stroke is a non-standard length, so lead times may differ from standard stock items. The long, slender 12 mm rod requires careful alignment and minimal side loading; for strokes over 300 mm, consider an external guide or a guided cylinder to prevent rod bearing damage and bending.
When replacing an existing unit, match five points: 32 mm bore, 540 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility, and the basic (footless) mounting configuration. This is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 402 N of push force, at 0.7 MPa it delivers 563 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it reaches 724 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet, making it compatible with AirTAC CMSG (reed) and DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors that clamp onto the barrel's tie-rod slots. Without the -S, magnetic sensors cannot detect the piston position.
