The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X215S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 215mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X215 is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa). With a 32 mm bore and a 12 mm piston rod, it is ideally sized for light clamping, sorting, and ejector tasks where space is at a premium.
The 215 mm stroke falls well within the 1000 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Its 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact. The body length A is 140 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 355 mm.

The 215 mm stroke and 12 mm rod provide clean, repeatable ejection of lightweight plastic or metal components from injection molds or assembly nests.
Actuates small diverter gates on mini-conveyor lines. The adjustable cushion protects the gate mechanism from shock at the end of travel.
Powers pick-and-place Z-axes in laboratory sample handlers. The filtered-air operation and TPU seals suit clean, room-temperature environments.
Choose the SC32 when your application requires up to 402 N of push force at standard plant pressure. If you need more force, step up to the SC40 bore, which provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. For strokes of 300 mm or longer on this 12 mm rod, evaluate side loads carefully—an external guide or a guided cylinder is recommended to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear.
To replace an existing SC32X215, match five points: 32 mm bore, 215 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, basic (no bracket) mounting, and no magnet. This ensures identical dimensional and performance interchangeability with another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa the SC32 bore generates 563 N of push force. The pull force at the same pressure is 345 N, accounting for the 12 mm rod area.
No. The SC32X215 is a double-acting cylinder and will drift or drop if pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. To hold a position without live pressure, you must add an external rod brake or a pilot-operated check valve.
