About the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X235
The AirTAC SC32X235 is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm air cushion make it a reliable workhorse for light automation tasks requiring a 235 mm linear stroke.
With a body length of just 140 mm, this cylinder fits neatly into space-constrained fixtures. The adjustable cushion at both ends helps decelerate the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact noise and extending seal life in continuous cycling applications.

Where the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X235 Is Used
Small Part Ejection
Provides a quick 235 mm push stroke to divert or eject lightweight components from a conveyor line, operating reliably on standard shop air.
Clamping & Fixturing
Applies consistent clamping force up to 724 N at 0.9 MPa for holding small workpieces during drilling, gluing, or light assembly processes.
Test Rig Actuation
Ideal for laboratory test stands requiring a clean, repeatable linear motion with adjustable end-of-stroke cushioning to protect sensitive samples.
Is the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X235 the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing slightly more force, consider stepping up to the SC40 series which provides 628 N push at 0.5 MPa. When replacing an existing cylinder, ensure a 5-point match: 32 mm bore, 235 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, basic (no bracket) mounting, and no built-in magnet. At this stroke length, the rod is well-supported within the bearing, but avoid direct side loads without an external guide.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X235 FAQ
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 that is shorter in overall length than a comparable ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is a direct dimensional replacement only for another AirTAC SC32 tie-rod cylinder with the same bore, stroke, and port thread.
