The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X305 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 305mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X305 is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 724 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure. With a 12 mm diameter piston rod and a 21 mm adjustable air cushion, it is sized for light automation tasks where space is tight but reliable actuation is essential.
This 32 mm bore model has a body length A of 140 mm and a total extended length of approximately 445 mm. The stroke of 305 mm is well within the 1000 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, making it a readily available configuration for genuine AirTAC performance.

Actuates diverter gates on compact conveyor lines handling lightweight packages or electronic components.
Provides consistent clamping force for jigs and fixtures in electronics or medical device assembly cells.
Moves pipette heads or sample trays in benchtop analyzers where a clean, oil-free air supply is used.
Choose the SC32 when your application needs up to 402 N at standard plant pressure; if you require more force, step up to the SC40 which provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. For strokes of 300 mm or longer, consider an external guide or a guided cylinder to protect the 12 mm rod from bending under side load.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 32 mm bore, 305 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, basic mounting (no accessory bracket), and confirm whether a magnet is required. This model does not include a magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it delivers 402 N pushing and 345 N pulling. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 724 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
No. The SC32X305 is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold position when pressure is exhausted or the valve is centered. For load holding, add a pilot-operated check valve or an external rod brake.
