About the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X960S
The SC32X960S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). With a 12 mm diameter piston rod and a 21 mm adjustable air cushion, it is designed for applications needing a long, controlled stroke within a compact tie-rod body.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing easy mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors directly onto the barrel for precise end-of-stroke or mid-stroke position sensing. The 960 mm stroke is within the 1000 mm maximum standard stroke for the 32 mm bore, making this a standard-length configuration.

Where the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X960S Is Used
Long-Reach Part Transfer
The 960 mm stroke moves components between distant conveyor stations, with the built-in magnet enabling sensor confirmation of full extension and retraction.
Automated Sorting Gates
Operates a long-travel diverter gate on a packaging line, using the 402 N push force to reliably direct lightweight cartons.
Vertical Panel Actuation
Raises and lowers an access panel or light guard over a long distance, where the adjustable cushion ensures a quiet, low-impact stop at each end.
Is the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X960S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC32 bore when your application requires up to 402 N of force at standard plant air pressure. If you need more force, stepping up to the SC40 provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. For this 960 mm stroke, ensure the load is guided externally to prevent side-loading the 12 mm rod, which can cause premature bearing wear and seal failure. For a direct replacement, match the 32 mm bore, 960 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, and the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X960S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, 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 indicates a built-in magnet on the piston, making it compatible with AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors that clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position sensing.
