The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X30CA is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 30mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X30CA is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at 0.9 MPa), making it ideal for short-stroke clamping and ejecting tasks. Its 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth end-of-stroke deceleration in a body length of just 140 mm.
This model is configured with a rear single clevis mount (CA type, accessory F-SC32CA) that allows the cylinder to pivot during operation, accommodating angular motion on the machine frame. It operates on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa with standard PT1/8 ports and TPU seals rated for -20 to +70 °C.

Short 30 mm stroke and 402 N push force reliably eject lightweight plastic or metal components from injection molds and stamping dies.
The pivoting CA clevis mount allows the cylinder to swing a small diverter gate on a packaging conveyor, sorting products by size or weight.
Delivers consistent clamping pressure for holding small workpieces during drilling, welding, or assembly operations on a rotary index table.
Choose the SC32 bore for light pneumatic work up to 724 N at maximum operating pressure. If your application needs more force, step up to the SC40 bore which provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. For this 30 mm short stroke, side loading is rarely a concern, but always align the rod with the load to prevent premature seal wear.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 32 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the CA rear clevis mounting, and confirm whether a magnet sensor is needed (this model has no built-in magnet).
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the push force is 402 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it reaches 724 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 804 N (82 kgf).
Yes, the CA suffix designates a rear single clevis mount (F-SC32CA). This allows the cylinder body to pivot, which is essential when the attached load moves through an arc.
