About the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X250TC
The SC32X250TC is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 250 mm stroke, delivering a push force of 402 N at 0.5 MPa (724 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 12 mm piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion make it a reliable workhorse for light automation tasks.
This model ships with the centre trunnion mounting kit (TC + TCM1 bracket, part code F-SC32TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot freely as it strokes. The standard PT1/8 ports and M10x1.25 rod thread simplify pneumatic connections and tooling attachment.

Where the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X250TC Is Used
Small Part Sorting
Pivots a diverter gate on a conveyor line. The centre trunnion mount lets the cylinder swing through an arc, while 402 N of push force easily redirects lightweight packages.
Clamping Fixtures
Actuates a hold-down clamp in a CNC woodworking jig. The 250 mm stroke provides ample reach, and the adjustable cushion reduces impact at the end of travel.
Laboratory Sampler
Drives a linear sampling probe in an analytical instrument. The clean double-acting air operation and compact 140 mm body length fit neatly into bench-top equipment.
Is the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X250TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC32 when your application needs up to 402 N of push force at standard plant air. If you require more force, step up to the SC40 bore (628 N at 0.5 MPa). For this 250 mm stroke, ensure the rod is not subjected to side loading—if lateral forces are present, add an external linear guide or switch to a guided cylinder to protect the rod bearing and seals. When replacing an existing unit, match bore, stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion mount, and confirm the magnet option (this model has no built-in magnet).
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 SC32X250TC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder pushes with 402 N and pulls with 345 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 724 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
Yes, provided the old unit is an AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder or a dimensionally identical copy. You must match the 32 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, PT1/8 ports, centre trunnion (TC) mount, and confirm no magnet is required. This SC cylinder is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile and is not a drop-in replacement for that standard.
