The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X85S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 85mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X85S is a compact double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, combining a 32 mm bore with an 85 mm stroke. It generates 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 724 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, driven by a 12 mm diameter piston rod.
This model includes the factory-installed -S magnet, embedded in the piston, which allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to be clamped directly onto the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position detection. The total extended body length is approximately 225 mm, based on the 140 mm body length A plus the 85 mm stroke, making it suitable for space-constrained automation tasks.

The 85 mm stroke and sensor-ready design make it ideal for ejecting or diverting lightweight components on packaging lines, with end-of-stroke confirmation via a DMSG sensor.
Its compact 225 mm extended length and 402 N push force suit gripper or vacuum cup actuation on small Cartesian robots, where position feedback is required for cycle safety.
The TPU seals and filtered air operation support clean, repetitive gate or stopper movements in diagnostic instruments, with the magnet enabling precise sequence control.
Choose the SC32X85S when your application needs a light-duty actuator with integrated position sensing. If the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa is marginal, stepping up to the SC40 series provides 628 N at the same pressure. For strokes over 300 mm on a 12 mm rod, consider an external guide or a guided cylinder to prevent rod bending under side loads.
To replace an existing unit, match five key points: 32 mm bore, 85 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S suffix), and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration. This is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
Quick checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 345 N. At 0.7 MPa, push force increases to 563 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, it reaches 724 N.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet in the piston. You can clamp compatible AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors directly onto the barrel to detect piston position without any additional brackets.
