The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X55S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 55mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X55S is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 55 mm stroke suits short linear actuation tasks, and the built-in magnet (-S suffix) allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for reliable end-of-stroke detection.
With a 12 mm piston rod, PT1/8 ports, and a 21 mm adjustable air cushion, this 32 mm bore cylinder absorbs end-of-stroke shock without external stops. The body length is 140 mm, giving a compact total extended length of approximately 195 mm for space-constrained installations.

| 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 55 mm stroke and sensor-ready design suit automated ejection of small components from fixtures, where end-of-stroke confirmation prevents machine cycle faults.
Compact 32 mm bore cylinder with magnetic piston sensing controls light-duty diverter flaps on narrow conveyors, providing positive open/closed position feedback to the PLC.
Clean, oil-free air operation and a 12 mm rod make this cylinder ideal for pushing slides or actuating clamps in benchtop laboratory automation equipment.
For higher force, step up to the SC40 series (628 N push at 0.5 MPa). If a shorter stroke is needed, the SC32X50 is the nearest standard option. The built-in magnet makes this model ready for sensor feedback without additional brackets.
When replacing, match five key points: 32 mm bore, 55 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration. This tie-rod cylinder is not an ISO 15552 profile unit—it is shorter and not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 cylinders.
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, push force reaches 724 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet in the piston, so AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors clamp directly onto the barrel tie-rods for non-contact position sensing.
