The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X1200 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 1200mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X1200 is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a 32 mm bore and an extended 1200 mm stroke. This non-standard stroke length exceeds the standard maximum of 1000 mm for this bore, making it a made-to-order unit for applications requiring extra reach. It provides a push force of 402 N at 0.5 MPa and 724 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa.
Built with a 12 mm diameter piston rod and M10x1.25 rod thread, this cylinder features a 21 mm air cushion at each end for smooth deceleration. The body length is 140 mm, and the total extended length reaches approximately 1340 mm. It uses PT1/8 ports and operates reliably on filtered air within a -20 to +70 °C range with its standard TPU seals.

Ideal for long-reach material transfer or pusher stations on packaging lines where a compact tie-rod cylinder body is needed but a 1000 mm standard stroke is insufficient.
Suitable for actuating gates or diverters in light-duty automation systems, using the 402 N push force to move small parts or direct flow on a conveyor.
Used in agricultural equipment for remote actuation of levers or linkages, where the 1200 mm stroke provides the necessary reach in a compact, air-powered format.
When selecting a cylinder for this stroke, consider the SC32X1200's force output of 402 N at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires more force, stepping up to the 40 mm bore (SC40 series) provides 628 N at the same pressure. For strokes of this length, the 12 mm rod is slender; avoid direct side loading. Use an external guide rail or a guided cylinder if the load is not perfectly axial to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five key points: the 32 mm bore, the 1200 mm stroke, the PT1/8 port thread, the basic mounting configuration (no accessory brackets), and the absence of a built-in magnet. This cylinder is a direct replacement for another AirTAC SC32 of the same configuration.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa (5 bar) air pressure, the theoretical 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. These figures are based on the 32 mm bore and 12 mm rod diameter.
For a 1200 mm stroke with a 12 mm rod, external guides are strongly recommended if there is any side load. The long, slender rod is susceptible to bending under non-axial forces, which can damage the rod bearing and seals. Use an external guide rail system to ensure reliable, long-life operation.
