The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X320 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 320mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X320 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 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion make it well-suited for moderate-speed positioning and clamping tasks where space is tight.
With a 320 mm stroke and a body length A of 140 mm, this cylinder provides a total extended length of approximately 460 mm. The standard PT1/8 port and M10x1.25 rod thread integrate easily into existing pneumatic circuits, and the TPU seals offer reliable operation from -20 to +70 °C.

The 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa is ideal for light-duty clamping fixtures on drill presses or assembly jigs, where the 320 mm stroke reaches across a small work envelope.
Operates a lightweight diverter or flipper gate on a compact conveyor line. The adjustable cushion reduces end-of-stroke impact, extending seal life in high-cycle sorting tasks.
Powers a reagent dispenser or test-tube transfer arm in a clean, dry automation cell. The tie-rod construction allows easy seal maintenance, and the 320 mm stroke covers multi-station layouts.
Choose the SC32X320 when your application needs up to 402 N of push force at standard plant air. If you require more force, step up to the SC40 bore, which provides 628 N at the same 0.5 MPa pressure. For strokes of 300 mm or more on a 12 mm rod, avoid direct side loading—use an external linear guide or a guided cylinder to protect the rod bearing from bending moments.
For a direct replacement, match these five points: 32 mm bore, 320 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, basic (no mounting accessory), and no magnet. This cylinder is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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 force at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
No. The SC32X320 is a double-acting cylinder and will drift or drop if pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. For load holding without live pressure, add a pilot-operated check valve or an external rod brake.
