The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X100FB is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 100mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X100FB is a compact 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). Its 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion make it suitable for light automation tasks requiring precise end-of-stroke deceleration.
This model is factory-configured with an FB rear rectangular flange (mounting accessory F-SC32FB) for secure end-face mounting. The 100 mm stroke falls well within the standard range for the 32 mm bore, and the PT1/8 ports provide a reliable pneumatic connection.

The 100 mm stroke and 402 N force at 0.5 MPa are ideal for pushing lightweight components off a conveyor belt in packaging lines.
Use the rear flange mount for a rigid setup on a jig, applying consistent clamping force to hold parts during light machining or assembly.
The double-acting control and adjustable cushion smoothly open and close small machine guards without slamming.
Choose the SC32 when your application needs up to 402 N of force at standard plant pressure. If you require more power, stepping up to the SC40 provides 628 N at the same 0.5 MPa. For this 100 mm stroke, the rod is well-supported, but always avoid direct side loads.
To guarantee a drop-in replacement, match five key points: 32 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, FB rear flange mounting, and ensure the magnet option (-S) matches your sensor setup.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the theoretical push force is 563 N. The pull force on the retract stroke is lower due to the rod area, rated at 345 N at 0.5 MPa.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length than ISO 15552 profile cylinders. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. Only replace it with another AirTAC SC32 tie-rod cylinder matching the stroke, port, and mounting.
