The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X8S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 8mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X8S is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a very short 8 mm stroke, ideal for ejector, clamping, and sorting tasks where space is tight. Its 12 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/8 ports keep the footprint small while delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (563 N at 0.7 MPa).
The built-in magnet (denoted by the -S suffix) allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to mount directly on the barrel for reliable end-of-stroke detection. The adjustable air cushion (21 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly, and the standard TPU seals provide a working range of -20 to +70 °C.

The 8 mm stroke and 402 N push force quickly eject small plastic or metal parts from a die or conveyor, with magnetic sensors confirming each cycle.
Short-stroke clamping of thin workpieces in assembly jigs. The 32 mm bore provides ample force without requiring a bulky cylinder body.
Operates a small diverter gate on a packaging line. The -S magnet lets a CMSG sensor verify gate position at both ends of the 8 mm travel.
Choose the SC32X8S for light push-eject or sorting stations that need magnetic piston sensing in a very short stroke. If you require more force, step up to the 40 mm bore (628 N at 0.5 MPa). For strokes longer than 300 mm on a 32 mm bore, consider an external guide to protect the 12 mm rod from side-load bending. When replacing an existing cylinder, match bore, stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it delivers 402 N pushing and 345 N pulling. 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 means a magnet is built into the piston, so AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors can be clamped directly onto the barrel to detect piston position.
