The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X290 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 290mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X290 is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (563 N at 0.7 MPa). Its 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion make it well-suited for moderate-speed positioning and clamping tasks where space is tight.
With a body length A of 140 mm, this 290 mm stroke unit extends to approximately 430 mm overall. The PT1/8 ports and M10x1.25 rod thread are standard across the 32 mm bore family, and the TPU seals provide reliable operation from -20 to +70 °C.

The 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa is ideal for diverting lightweight packages or components on a conveyor line, with the 290 mm stroke providing ample reach across a narrow belt.
Use the SC32X290 for consistent clamping in machining fixtures. The adjustable cushion decelerates the rod smoothly, preventing vibration that could shift a workpiece.
The compact 32 mm bore and clean double-acting operation suit lab automation tasks like test-tube handling or lid opening, where the 290 mm stroke offers extended linear travel.
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the SC40 bore provides 628 N push at 0.5 MPa. At 290 mm stroke, the SC32 rod is well within its standard range, but any side load should be managed with an external guide to protect the rod bearing. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 32 mm bore, 290 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic (no bracket) mounting, and no magnet.
Quick checklist
At the standard operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, the push force is 563 N and the pull force is approximately 483 N. The maximum theoretical push force at 0.9 MPa is 724 N. Always factor in a safety margin for dynamic loads.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is dimensionally interchangeable only with another AirTAC SC32 tie-rod cylinder matching the same bore, stroke, and port thread.
