The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X250SLB 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 SC32X250SLB is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 250 mm stroke is well within the 1000 mm maximum for this 32 mm bore, making it a reliable mid-stroke actuator for light automation tasks.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and is supplied with an LB foot mount (F-SC32LB) for secure axial surface installation. The 12 mm rod and PT1/8 ports keep the unit compact while providing an adjustable air cushion for smooth deceleration.

The 250 mm stroke and magnetic piston sensing make this ideal for diverter gates on compact conveyor lines, confirming position at each end of travel.
With 724 N of force at 0.9 MPa, it provides consistent clamping pressure for woodworking or light assembly jigs where a secure foot mount is needed.
The clean, tie-rod design and sensor feedback suit automated liquid handling or specimen transfer mechanisms requiring repeatable 250 mm linear motion.
Choose this 32 mm bore for light pushing, clamping, or sorting where force requirements are moderate. If you need more force, stepping up to the SC40 series provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. For replacement, match bore, 250 mm stroke, PT1/8 ports, the LB foot mount, and the built-in magnet to ensure sensor compatibility.
For strokes of 300 mm or more, consider external guides to protect the 12 mm rod from side loads, but at 250 mm this cylinder is well within standard rod-bearing limits for axial loads.
Quick checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, it provides 402 N pushing and 345 N pulling. At the maximum 0.9 MPa operating pressure, pushing force increases to 724 N.
Yes, if your existing cylinder is an AirTAC SC tie-rod type with a 32 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, PT1/8 ports, LB foot mount, and a magnetic piston. This is not an ISO 15552 cylinder and is dimensionally shorter, so it is not a direct drop-in for ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
