The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X120 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 120mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X120 is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 12 mm piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion make it well-suited for light automation tasks where space is limited.
With a 120 mm stroke and a body length of 140 mm, the total extended length reaches 260 mm. This genuine AirTAC SC cylinder operates on filtered air from -20 to +70 °C and uses PT1/8 ports with an M10x1.25 rod thread for easy integration.

The 120 mm stroke and 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa efficiently actuates gates or diverters on compact conveyor lines handling lightweight components.
Ideal for test-tube handling or microplate positioning in diagnostic equipment, where the clean, filtered-air operation and compact 32 mm bore fit tight instrument layouts.
Provides up to 724 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding small workpieces during light-duty assembly, printing, or marking processes.
Choose the SC32 for light push/pull tasks under 400 N. If your load approaches 500 N at 0.5 MPa, step up to the SC40 bore (628 N push). For this 120 mm stroke, the standard tie-rod construction provides good rigidity, but avoid direct side loading on the 12 mm rod. Always match replacement cylinders by bore, stroke, PT port thread, and mounting style.
Quick checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Its body length (140 mm) is shorter than an equivalent ISO 15552 unit, so mounting dimensions differ. Only replace another AirTAC SC32 cylinder with matching bore, stroke, and port thread.
