The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X280 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 280mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X280 is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 12 mm piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion make it well-suited for light automation tasks where space is limited but reliable linear actuation is required.
With a body length of 140 mm and a 280 mm stroke, this model stays within the standard stroke range for the 32 mm bore family. The PT1/8 port and M10x1.25 rod thread offer straightforward pneumatic connections for assembly fixtures and small transfer mechanisms.

The 280 mm stroke and 402 N push force reliably eject lightweight plastic or metal parts from injection molds or pick-and-place nests.
Actuates narrow diverter gates on mini conveyor lines. The adjustable cushion reduces end-of-stroke bounce for smooth product handling.
Operates test-tube capping or slide-handling mechanisms in clean, dry environments. The compact tie-rod body fits easily into benchtop instruments.
Choose the SC32X280 for light push/pull tasks up to 402 N at standard shop air. If your load exceeds 600 N, step up to the SC40 bore (628 N at 0.5 MPa) for extra force without a large footprint increase. For strokes over 300 mm, verify that side loads are minimal; an external guide rail is recommended to protect the 12 mm rod from bending.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five points: 32 mm bore, 280 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, basic mount (no bracket), and no magnet. This cylinder is a direct swap for another AirTAC SC32 of 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, push force reaches 724 N.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It replaces another AirTAC SC32 with the same bore, stroke, and port thread.
