The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X25CA is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 25mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X25CA is a compact double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, ideal for short-stroke clamping and ejecting tasks. Its 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable deceleration in a space-saving 165 mm total extended length.
This model features a rear single clevis (CA) mount, allowing the cylinder body to pivot during operation to accommodate angular motion. The mounting accessory part code is F-SC32CA, and the unit operates on filtered air with standard PT ports and TPU seals rated for -20 to +70 °C.

The 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa and rear clevis mount make it suitable for pivoting clamp arms in machining fixtures, where the cylinder needs to swing clear for part loading.
Ideal for short-stroke part stops on small conveyors. The adjustable cushion protects the 12 mm rod from impact damage during high-cycle stopping operations.
Used in benchtop test rigs requiring a compact, pivoting actuator. The 25 mm stroke provides precise, repeatable linear motion for small component life-cycle testing.
For higher force requirements, stepping up to a 40 mm bore provides 628 N of push force at the same 0.5 MPa pressure. The 25 mm stroke is a standard offering within the SC family.
When replacing an existing cylinder, ensure a 5-point match: 32 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, PT port thread, rear single clevis (CA) mounting, and no built-in magnet. This is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profiles.
Quick checklist
At the standard operating pressure of 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 increases to 724 N.
Yes, the CA suffix designates a rear single clevis mount. This allows the cylinder body to pivot on a single lug at the cap end, accommodating angular misalignment during the stroke. The matching bracket is F-SC32CA.
