The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X120TC 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 SC32X120TC is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). With a 32 mm bore and 120 mm stroke, it handles light clamping, sorting, and transfer tasks where a compact tie-rod body is preferred.
This model includes a TC centre trunnion mount (supplied with the TCM1 bracket, order code F-SC32TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation. The 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end help manage end-of-stroke impact. Total extended body length is approximately 260 mm (140 mm body length A + 120 mm stroke).

The 120 mm stroke and 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably divert light packages or components on conveyor lines, with the TC mount allowing a pivoting action.
Delivers controlled clamping force for light machining or assembly jigs. The adjustable cushion decelerates the rod smoothly, protecting delicate workpieces.
Ideal for laboratory or production test stands requiring a compact, pivoting actuator. The tie-rod construction simplifies maintenance in high-cycle test environments.
Choose the SC32 bore for light-duty applications needing up to 402 N at 0.5 MPa. If your load requires more force, step up to the SC40 bore which provides 628 N at the same pressure. For strokes of 300 mm or longer, consider an external guide or a guided cylinder to protect the 12 mm rod from side-load bending.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five key points: 32 mm bore, 120 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting, and the absence of a built-in magnet. This cylinder is a direct swap for another AirTAC SC32X120TC or an identically configured tie-rod cylinder.
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 force at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC32 cylinder with the same stroke, port thread, and TC mount.
