The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X230 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 230mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X230 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a push force of 402 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 724 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 32 mm bore and a 230 mm stroke, it is well-suited for light to medium automation tasks where a compact, reliable pneumatic actuator is required.
This model features a 12 mm diameter piston rod with an M10x1.25 rod thread and PT1/8 ports. The body length A is 140 mm, and the adjustable air cushion (21 mm length) helps decelerate the piston smoothly at the end of travel, reducing impact noise and vibration.

The 230 mm stroke and 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa make this cylinder ideal for pushing or diverting small components on a conveyor line.
Used in jigs and fixtures for pressing bearings, pins, or bushings with controlled force, leveraging the adjustable cushion for smooth operation.
Provides consistent clamping force for carton sealing or labeling machines, where the compact tie-rod body fits into tight machine spaces.
For applications needing more force, consider stepping up to the 40 mm bore SC40 series, which provides 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. When replacing an existing cylinder, ensure a precise 5-point match: 32 mm bore, 230 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, basic mounting (no brackets), and no built-in magnet. This SC32X230 is a standard tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
At a 230 mm stroke, the 12 mm rod is well-supported for axial loads. If the application involves significant side loading, use an external guide rail or linear bearing to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa (5 bar), the push force is 402 N. At 0.7 MPa it is 563 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it 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 in overall length than a comparable ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC32 tie-rod cylinder with the same bore, stroke, port thread, and mounting configuration.
