About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X32
The SC100X32 is a compact-stroke member of the AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder family, delivering a substantial 3927 N of push force at a standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure. With a 100 mm bore and a short 32 mm stroke, it is ideal for clamping, ejecting, or positioning tasks where a large force must be applied over a very limited linear distance.
Built around a rigid 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 male threads, this double-acting cylinder uses PT1/2 ports and includes a 29 mm adjustable air cushion to decelerate the piston smoothly at end of travel. Its total extended body length is a compact 220 mm (188 mm body + 32 mm stroke), making it easy to fit into tight machine envelopes.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X32 Is Used
Heavy Clamping
Delivers nearly 4000 N of force in a short 32 mm stroke, perfect for pressing and holding workpieces in CNC fixtures and welding jigs.
Part Ejection
Short, powerful punch for ejecting formed parts from stamping dies or injection molds where space behind the tool is limited.
Compact Diverting
Operates a short-throw gate or diverter on a conveyor line, moving heavy packages with authority in a confined space.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X32 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100X32 when your application requires a high-force actuator in a very short stroke format. If 3927 N at 0.5 MPa is more force than needed, stepping down to an 80 mm bore reduces push force to 2513 N under the same conditions. For longer stroke requirements, the SC100 is rated for standard strokes up to 1500 mm. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 100 mm bore, 32 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic (no) mounting, and the standard TPU seal with no magnet.
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 SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X32 FAQ
At 0.7 MPa (7 bar) supply pressure, this 100 mm bore cylinder generates a theoretical push force of 5497 N. The pull force on the retract stroke is 3681 N, accounting for the 25 mm rod diameter.
This specific SC100X32 code does not include the built-in magnet option. To use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors, you would need the '-S' magnet suffix variant (SC100X32-S), which has a magnetized piston band for external sensor mounting.
