The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X250STC 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 SC32X250STC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at the 0.9 MPa max operating pressure). Its 32 mm bore and 250 mm stroke suit compact linear actuation tasks where a tie-rod design is preferred for serviceability.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and the TC centre trunnion mount (supplied with TCM1 bracket, part F-SC32TC) allows the cylinder to pivot during operation. The 12 mm diameter rod with M10x1.25 thread and 21 mm adjustable air cushion ensure smooth deceleration at stroke ends.

Pivoting diverter gates on compact packaging conveyors, using the TC trunnion mount for smooth swinging motion and magnetic sensors for end-of-stroke detection.
Light-duty clamping or marking fixtures where 402 N of force at 0.5 MPa is sufficient and the 250 mm stroke provides ample clearance for part loading.
Laboratory test stands requiring a compact, double-acting cylinder with adjustable cushioning and sensor feedback for cycle counting and position verification.
Choose the SC32X250STC when your application needs a compact 32 mm bore with 250 mm of travel and a pivoting mount. For higher force, step up to the SC40 bore (628 N push at 0.5 MPa). The built-in magnet simplifies sensor integration for position feedback.
For a 250 mm stroke on a 12 mm rod, avoid direct side loads. If the load is not guided externally, consider adding an external linear guide to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear. For replacement, match bore, stroke, PT port thread, TC mounting, and magnet option.
Quick checklist
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 at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It directly replaces another AirTAC SC32 cylinder with the same bore, stroke, PT port, TC mount, and magnet.
