The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X240STC is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 240mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X240STC is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable deceleration for mid-stroke positioning tasks.
This model is factory-configured with a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and a centre trunnion mount (TC suffix) supplied with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC32TC) for pivoting applications. The standard PT1/8 ports and TPU seals suit normal industrial environments from -20 to +70 °C.

The 240 mm stroke and centre trunnion mount allow the cylinder to pivot as it extends, making it ideal for actuating diverter gates on compact conveyor lines where sensor confirmation of position is required.
With 724 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa and magnetic piston sensing, this cylinder is well-suited for automated jigs and fixtures that need end-of-stroke verification for quality control.
The adjustable cushion and trunnion pivot are valuable in laboratory test rigs where a smooth, controlled linear motion with a known force profile is needed for cycling components.
For applications requiring less force, consider stepping down to a smaller bore; for higher thrust, the SC40 series offers 628 N at 0.5 MPa. The 240 mm stroke on a 12 mm rod is well within standard limits, but always check for side loads—if the load is not guided, an external linear guide or a guided cylinder is recommended to prevent rod bending.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 32 mm bore, 240 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting with the F-SC32TC bracket, and the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility.
Quick checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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 increases to 724 N.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC32 tie-rod cylinder with the same bore, stroke, PT port, TC mount, and magnet option.
