The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X550S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 550mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X550S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a non-standard 550 mm stroke, exceeding the standard 1000 mm maximum for this bore. It delivers 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at 0.9 MPa), driven by a 12 mm diameter piston rod with an M10x1.25 rod thread.
A built-in magnet (-S suffix) is integrated into the piston, allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to be mounted directly on the barrel for precise, contactless end-of-stroke or mid-stroke position sensing. The cylinder uses PT1/8 ports, adjustable pneumatic cushioning over a 21 mm length, and TPU seals for a standard operating temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.

| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | — |
| Max (approx.) | 82 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

The built-in magnet enables precise mid-stroke sensing for diverting small packages on conveyor lines, with the 550 mm stroke providing extended reach across wide belts.
Delivers a consistent 724 N clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding components during leak testing, with sensor feedback confirming full extension before the test cycle begins.
The 550 mm stroke opens large vent panels fully, while the magnet-equipped barrel allows a central controller to verify open/closed status via DMSG sensors.
For a 32 mm bore at 0.5 MPa, expect 402 N push and 345 N pull. If the 550 mm stroke creates a risk of rod buckling or side load, consider an external linear guide; for higher force, step up to the 40 mm bore (628 N push at 0.5 MPa). This SC32X550S is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder matching the 32 mm bore, 550 mm stroke, PT1/8 ports, basic mounting, and integrated magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the 32 mm bore generates 563 N of push force. The maximum push force at 0.9 MPa is 724 N, and the theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet. You can mount CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the cylinder barrel's sensor groove to detect piston position without additional brackets.
