The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X850S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 850mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X850S is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa). With an 850 mm stroke and a 12 mm diameter piston rod, it is well-suited for medium-reach material handling and sorting tasks where consistent linear motion is required.
This model features a built-in magnet (-S suffix), enabling direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors directly onto the barrel for reliable end-of-stroke detection. The body length A is 140 mm, the cushion length is 21 mm, and the port size is PT1/8, making it a compact yet capable actuator for space-constrained automation cells.

The 850 mm stroke and magnetic piston make this cylinder ideal for diverting packages on conveyor lines, with sensors confirming gate open/close positions.
Moves light parts between assembly stations. The built-in magnet allows for precise mid-stroke or end-stroke sensing to sequence automated operations.
Provides the long, smooth linear travel needed for probe insertion or sample retrieval in analytical instruments, with sensor feedback for position verification.
Select the SC32 bore for light-duty applications needing up to 402 N of force at 0.5 MPa; if your load requires more, step up to the SC40 bore which provides 628 N at the same pressure. For this 850 mm stroke, ensure the rod is not subjected to significant side loading—consider an external linear guide or a guided cylinder if lateral forces are present. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: 32 mm bore, 850 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the basic mounting configuration, and the integrated magnet for sensor compatibility.
Quick checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 345 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 724 N.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code denotes a built-in magnet. This allows you to clamp compatible CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors directly onto the barrel to detect piston position without any additional mounting brackets.
