The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X32 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 32mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X32 is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 32 mm stroke suits short-throw clamping, ejecting, and sorting tasks where space is tight.
This model uses a 12 mm diameter piston rod with M10x1.25 male threads and PT1/8 ports. The body length A is 140 mm, and the adjustable air cushion (21 mm long) decelerates the piston smoothly at end-of-travel without adding external shock absorbers.

The 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa is ideal for light-duty CNC fixture clamps and assembly jigs where a short 32 mm stroke prevents part distortion.
Use the SC32X32 to actuate small diverter gates on packaging conveyors. The adjustable cushion reduces impact noise at the end of the fast 32 mm travel.
Compact size and clean double-acting operation make this cylinder a fit for test-tube sorting and microplate handling in automated laboratory workcells.
For applications needing more force, the SC40 bore steps up to 628 N at 0.5 MPa. If you require a shorter overall length, the SC32 is one of the most compact tie-rod cylinders in the range. When replacing an existing unit, match five points: 32 mm bore, 32 mm stroke, PT1/8 ports, basic (no bracket) mounting, and confirm whether a magnet (-S suffix) is needed for sensors.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 345 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 724 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
This basic SC32X32 does not include a built-in magnet. To use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors, order the SC32X32-S variant, which adds a magnet inside the piston so sensors can clamp directly onto the barrel.
