The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X680S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 680mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X680S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). With a 32 mm bore and a 680 mm stroke, it uses a 12 mm diameter piston rod and M10x1.25 rod thread for end tooling.
This model includes the -S suffix, equipping the cylinder with a built-in magnet. This allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for non-contact position sensing. The compact body length A is 140 mm, and the adjustable air cushion (21 mm) decelerates the piston smoothly at both ends of the stroke.

The 680 mm stroke and built-in magnet make this ideal for long-reach diverters on packaging lines, where CMSG sensors confirm gate position at each end of travel.
Delivers 402 N at 0.5 MPa for pushing or pulling light fixtures into place. The sensor-ready barrel enables precise end-of-stroke verification in automated assembly cells.
Used in material test rigs requiring a long, repeatable linear motion. The adjustable cushion protects the end caps during high-cycle testing, while sensors provide cycle counting.
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the SC40 bore provides 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa. If a shorter, more rigid assembly is required, the SC32 bore is also available in standard strokes down to 25 mm. At a 680 mm stroke, ensure the 12 mm rod is protected from side loads; use an external linear guide or a guided cylinder if bending moments are present.
To replace an existing unit, match five points: 32 mm bore, 680 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the basic mounting configuration, and the -S magnet option. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa (approx. 72.5 psi), the push force is 402 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 724 N. The pull force at 0.5 MPa is 345 N.
Yes. The -S suffix in SC32X680S indicates a built-in magnet is installed in the piston. This allows AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors to be clamped directly onto the tie-rod barrel for position feedback.
