The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X120STC 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 SC32X120STC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth deceleration for light automation tasks.
This model is factory-configured with a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and a TC centre trunnion mount (supplied with TCM1 bracket, part code F-SC32TC). The trunnion allows the cylinder to pivot, making it ideal for swinging or articulating linkages.

The 120 mm stroke and trunnion mount suit pivoting diverter gates on compact conveyor lines, where sensor feedback confirms gate position.
Delivers 724 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding light workpieces during drilling or assembly, with magnetic sensors verifying clamp status.
Clean, oil-free air operation and adjustable cushioning make this cylinder suitable for test rigs and lab automation requiring precise, repeatable 120 mm strokes.
Choose the SC32 when your application needs up to 402 N of force at standard plant air. If you require more thrust, step up to the SC40 bore which provides 628 N at the same 0.5 MPa pressure. For this 120 mm stroke, side loads are minimal, but always align the rod with the load to prevent bending.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 32 mm bore, 120 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, TC centre trunnion mounting, and the presence of a magnet for sensors. This tie-rod cylinder is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile and is not dimensionally interchangeable with that standard.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, 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 reaches 724 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter overall body length than an ISO 15552 cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. It directly replaces another AirTAC SC32 cylinder with matching stroke, port, mounting, and magnet options.
