The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X315S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 315mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X315 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 a precise actuator for light automation tasks requiring a 315 mm stroke.
With a body length of 140 mm plus the 315 mm stroke, this cylinder fits into space-constrained machines. The PT1/8 port and M10x1.25 rod thread provide standard connectivity, while the TPU seals ensure reliable operation from -20 to +70 °C.

The 315 mm stroke and 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa are ideal for diverting lightweight packages or components on a conveyor line, providing a fast and repeatable linear motion.
With its compact 140 mm body and 12 mm rod, the SC32X315 fits neatly into pick-and-place end-effectors, offering a clean 315 mm reach for transferring small electronic or mechanical parts.
The precise adjustable cushioning and filtered-air operation suit the SC32X315 for moving test tubes or slides in diagnostic equipment, where smooth, controlled motion is essential.
For applications needing slightly more force, consider stepping up to the SC40 bore which provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. If your load is lighter and speed is critical, the SC32 remains the optimal choice within its 30-800 mm/s speed range. For this 315 mm stroke, ensure the rod is not subjected to significant side loads; if lateral forces are present, use an external linear guide to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
When replacing an existing unit, match these five points exactly: 32 mm bore, 315 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, basic mounting (no accessories), and the absence of a magnet. This ensures a direct drop-in replacement for another AirTAC SC32 cylinder.
Quick checklist
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the cylinder provides 402 N pushing force and 345 N pulling force. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the pushing force increases to 724 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
It is a direct replacement only for an AirTAC SC32 tie-rod cylinder with a 315 mm stroke, PT1/8 ports, and no magnet or mounting accessories. It is not an ISO 15552 cylinder and is physically shorter, so it will not drop into an ISO 15552 footprint without modification.
