The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X250 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 250mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X250 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 250 mm stroke suit light-to-medium linear actuation tasks where space is limited.
With a 140 mm body length and 21 mm adjustable air cushion, this SC32X250 decelerates end-of-stroke loads smoothly. The PT1/8 ports and M10x1.25 rod thread are standard across the 32 mm bore family. This model uses the default TPU seals for a -20 to +70 °C operating range.

Provides 402 N at 0.5 MPa for holding light components in jigs and fixtures during assembly or machining.
Actuates diverter gates on compact conveyor lines handling small packages or electronic components.
Cycles light-duty test mechanisms requiring a repeatable 250 mm linear stroke with adjustable end cushioning.
Choose the SC32X250 when 402 N at 0.5 MPa meets your force requirement. If you need more power, step up to the SC40 series (628 N at 0.5 MPa). For strokes of 300 mm or longer, consider an external guide to protect the 12 mm rod from bending under side load. To replace an existing unit, match bore, stroke, PT port thread, basic mount, and confirm the magnet option is not required.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the SC32X250 generates 402 N extending (push) and 345 N retracting (pull). At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 724 N.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 types. Replace only with another AirTAC SC32 tie-rod cylinder matching the same bore, stroke, and port thread.
