The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X5S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 5mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X5S is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a very short 5 mm stroke, ideal for precise ejection, clamping, or sorting tasks where minimal linear travel is required. The built-in magnet (-S suffix) allows direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors on the barrel for reliable end-of-stroke position detection without external brackets.
At 0.5 MPa air pressure this model delivers 402 N of push force and 345 N on the pull stroke, with a maximum thrust of 724 N at the 0.9 MPa operating limit. The 12 mm diameter piston rod with M10x1.25 thread and 21 mm adjustable air cushion ensure smooth, controlled motion even in high-cycle short-stroke applications.

The 5 mm stroke and 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa make this cylinder suitable for ejecting small plastic or metal parts from injection molds or stamping dies, where the magnet confirms each cycle.
Quick 5 mm linear motion to flip a small diverter gate on a conveyor line. The built-in magnet sensor verifies gate position for interlocked material routing.
Short-stroke clamping of thin workpieces in assembly jigs. The adjustable cushion absorbs impact at 724 N max force, protecting the fixture from shock.
For applications needing slightly more force, stepping up to the 40 mm bore SC40 series provides 628 N push at 0.5 MPa. The 5 mm stroke is well within the 1000 mm maximum standard stroke for the 32 mm bore, so no special stroke considerations apply. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 32 mm bore, 5 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the basic mounting configuration, and the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the push force is 402 N and pull force is 345 N. At 0.7 MPa push reaches 563 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it delivers 724 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in SC32X5S denotes a built-in magnet on the piston, making it compatible with AirTAC CMSG (reed) and DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors that clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel.
