The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X120FA 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 AirTAC SC32X120FA is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 120 mm stroke, factory-assembled with an FA front rectangular flange for rigid panel mounting. At 0.5 MPa it provides 402 N push force and 345 N pull force, rising to 724 N push at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure.
This model uses a 12 mm diameter piston rod with an M10x1.25 knuckle thread and PT1/8 ports. The 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly, protecting the end caps during high-cycle operation. Its compact body length A is 140 mm, making the total extended length approximately 260 mm.

The 120 mm stroke and 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably actuates a diverter gate on a compact conveyor line, routing lightweight packages without slowing the belt.
The front flange mount and 12 mm rod provide a stable, rigid Z-axis for a small pick-and-place head, delivering precise vertical strokes for electronics assembly.
With clean, filtered air and TPU seals, this cylinder actuates a test-tube clamp in a laboratory automation station, where the 21 mm cushion ensures gentle, vibration-free stops.
Choose the SC32 bore for light pneumatic tasks where its 402 N push at 0.5 MPa is sufficient; step up to the SC40 (628 N at 0.5 MPa) if you need more force without increasing pressure. The FA front flange (part F-SC32FA) bolts the cylinder rigidly to a machine panel from the rod end, ideal when the cylinder body must overhang or when rear access is limited.
For a direct replacement, match five points: 32 mm bore, 120 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, FA front flange mounting, and the standard TPU seal. This is a genuine AirTAC tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile unit, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to other AirTAC SC32 tie-rod cylinders with the same configuration.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa the SC32 bore generates 563 N of push force and 483 N of pull force. The maximum push force at 0.9 MPa operating pressure is 724 N.
Yes, the FA front flange is an accessory bolted to the cylinder body. You can remove it and use the cylinder as a basic unit, but you must provide your own mounting solution. The flange part code is F-SC32FA.
