The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X10FA is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 10mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X10FA is a compact double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, configured with a 32 mm bore and a short 10 mm stroke. Its front rectangular flange (FA) mount, ordered under part code F-SC32FA, allows secure bolting to a panel or fixture from the rod end, making it ideal for tight push or eject operations. At 0.5 MPa, it delivers 402 N of push force and 345 N on the retract stroke, driven by a 12 mm diameter piston rod with an M10x1.25 knuckle thread.
This cylinder is built for filtered air at pressures from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa. The standard TPU/NBR seals provide a reliable operating temperature range of -20 to +70 °C. With a body length of 140 mm plus the 10 mm stroke, it fits easily into space-constrained automation. The adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly, protecting the end caps during high-cycle applications.

The 10 mm stroke and 402 N push force are perfect for ejecting small plastic or metal parts from a fixture or die in automated assembly cells.
Ideal for a light-duty pneumatic clamp in electronics or packaging machinery, where a short, controlled linear movement secures a component for gluing or soldering.
Quickly actuates a small diverter gate on a conveyor line to sort lightweight packages, leveraging the fast 30-800 mm/s speed range of the 32 mm bore.
For applications needing slightly more force, stepping up to the 40 mm bore SC40 series provides 628 N of push force at the same 0.5 MPa pressure. The 10 mm stroke is a standard length for the SC32, ensuring quick availability. When replacing an existing cylinder, confirm all five critical points match: 32 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, PT1/8 ports, the FA front flange mounting accessory, and the absence of a built-in magnet on this model.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the theoretical push force on the 32 mm bore is 563 N. The pull force during retraction is lower due to the 12 mm rod area, providing 345 N at 0.5 MPa.
Yes, the SC32X10FA comes with a front flange (FA), but the cylinder body is compatible with the full range of AirTAC SC32 mounting accessories, including foot mounts (LB), rear flanges (FB), and clevises (CA/CB). The FA mount can be removed if you switch to a different F-SC32 series bracket.
