The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X900SN is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 900mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X900SN is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa). With a 32 mm bore and a 900 mm stroke, it features a 12 mm diameter piston rod and an adjustable air cushion length of 21 mm to decelerate the load smoothly at the end of travel.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to be directly mounted on the barrel for reliable, non-contact position sensing. The NBR seals (-N suffix) provide a durable sealing solution, and the PT1/8 port thread ensures straightforward pneumatic connection. The total extended body length is approximately 1040 mm (140 mm body length A + 900 mm stroke).

The 900 mm stroke and integrated magnetic piston allow for precise, multi-position sensing along the entire travel, ideal for diverting packages on conveyor lines where gate position must be confirmed at each step.
With 724 N of force at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder can push lightweight components off a production line. The long stroke is suited for ejecting parts from wide fixtures into collection bins.
The NBR seals and precise sensor feedback make this model suitable for linear actuation in test rigs or sampling mechanisms where a specific, repeatable 900 mm extension is required.
Select the SC32X900SN when your application requires a compact, light-duty actuator with integrated position feedback. For higher force requirements, consider stepping up to the 40 mm bore (SC40 series), which provides 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. For a direct replacement, ensure the new cylinder matches these five points: 32 mm bore, 900 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, NBR seal material, and a built-in magnet for sensor mounting.
With a 900 mm stroke on a 12 mm rod, this cylinder is susceptible to rod buckling and bearing side-load damage. It is critical to guide the load externally with a linear rail or rod guide, ensuring no radial force is transmitted to the piston rod bearing.
Quick checklist
The theoretical push force at 0.5 MPa is 402 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 724 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
No. The 12 mm diameter piston rod is not designed to support heavy side loads, especially at a 900 mm stroke. Applying a radial load will bend the rod and damage the bearing. You must use an external linear guide to absorb all side forces and ensure the cylinder only experiences axial push/pull loads.
