The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X180FA is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 180mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X180FA is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 180 mm stroke, pre-assembled with a front rectangular flange (FA mount) for panel or bulkhead installation. At 0.5 MPa air pressure it supplies 402 N of push force and 345 N of pull force, making it a compact workhorse for light clamping and sorting tasks.
This model uses a 12 mm piston rod with an M10x1.25 rod thread and PT1/8 ports. The tie-rod construction keeps the body length to 140 mm (A dimension), giving a total extended length of around 320 mm. Adjustable air cushioning at both ends decelerates the 21 mm cushion stroke to reduce end-of-travel shock.

The 180 mm stroke and 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably divert light packages or components on a conveyor line. The front flange mount allows direct attachment to the gate frame.
With 724 N of force available at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder provides ample holding power for CNC router or drill-press jigs. The adjustable cushion protects the fixture from hammering at cycle end.
The clean double-acting operation and compact 140 mm body length suit automated pipetting or vial-capping stations where a precise 180 mm linear stroke is needed.
Choose the SC32 when space is tight and the load requires up to about 402 N at 0.5 MPa. If you need more force, step up to the SC40 bore which delivers 628 N push at the same pressure. For a 180 mm stroke the 12 mm rod is well supported; if side loads are present, guide the load externally or use a guided cylinder to protect the rod bearing.
To match this exact configuration for replacement, verify five points: 32 mm bore, 180 mm stroke, PT1/8 ports, front flange mount (F-SC32FA), and no magnet. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is dimensionally shorter than ISO 15552 profiles—only another AirTAC SC of the same bore and stroke will drop into the same mounting footprint.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa (7 bar) the SC32 bore produces 563 N of push force. The pull force at the same pressure is 345 N, as the 12 mm rod reduces the piston area on the retract side.
No. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The mounting dimensions and overall length differ, so it is not a drop-in replacement. Match it only with another AirTAC SC32 of the same stroke and front flange mount.
