The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X290S 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 pneumatic cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, ideal for light-duty linear actuation tasks. With a 32 mm bore and 290 mm stroke, it features a 12 mm piston rod with M10x1.25 threads and an adjustable air cushion of 21 mm at each end to decelerate the load smoothly.
This tie-rod cylinder has a body length A of 140 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 430 mm. It uses PT1/8 ports and operates on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, with a standard speed range of 30-800 mm/s. The TPU seals suit ambient temperatures from -20 to +70 °C.

The 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa and 290 mm stroke are well-suited for diverting lightweight packages or components on a conveyor line.
Delivers consistent, controlled force for holding workpieces during light assembly, drilling, or welding operations.
Compact 32 mm bore and clean operation make it a good fit for reagent dispensing or test-tube handling in automated laboratory equipment.
Choose the SC32X290 when your application needs a light push force around 400 N at 0.5 MPa. If you require more force, step up to the SC40 bore which provides 628 N at the same pressure. For strokes of 290 mm, ensure the rod is not subjected to significant side loads; if side loading is unavoidable, consider an external linear guide or a guided cylinder to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
For direct replacement, match five key attributes: 32 mm bore, 290 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, basic mounting (no accessory bracket), and no built-in magnet. This cylinder is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the theoretical push force is 563 N. The maximum push force at 0.9 MPa is 724 N.
No. The SC32X290 is a double-acting cylinder and does not lock or hold position when air pressure is exhausted or the valve is centered. To hold a load safely, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve.
