The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X265 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 265mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X265 is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). With a 12 mm piston rod and a 265 mm stroke, it suits medium-reach clamping, sorting, and light transfer tasks where space is limited.
This model uses the standard TPU/NBR seal package rated for -20 to +70 °C and comes with PT1/8 threaded ports. The adjustable air cushion (21 mm length) decelerates the piston quietly, and the body length A of 140 mm keeps the overall extended length to approximately 405 mm.

The 265 mm stroke and 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa handle light component transfer in assembly cells, moving parts between nests or onto conveyors.
Actuates small diverter flaps on packaging lines. The adjustable cushion absorbs impact at the end of the 265 mm travel, reducing noise and wear.
Provides consistent clamping force for woodworking or light metal fabrication jigs, where the 724 N maximum thrust securely holds workpieces during processing.
Choose the SC32 bore when the application needs up to 402 N at 0.5 MPa. If your force requirement is higher, step up to the SC40 bore which provides 628 N at the same pressure. For this 265 mm stroke, ensure the rod is not subjected to side loads; the 12 mm rod is intended for axial thrust only. If lateral forces are present, add an external linear guide.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 32 mm bore, 265 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, basic (no mounting accessory), and no magnet. This SC32X265 is a direct replacement for another AirTAC SC32X265 tie-rod cylinder with the same configuration.
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.
No. The SC32X265 is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if pressure is exhausted or the valve is centered. For load holding, you must add a pilot-operated check valve or an external mechanical brake.
