The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X360 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 360mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X360 is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a push force of 402 N at 0.5 MPa (724 N at 0.9 MPa). The 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion make it a reliable workhorse for light automation tasks requiring a 360 mm linear stroke.
With a body length of 140 mm, the total extended length reaches 500 mm. This model uses PT1/8 ports and an M10x1.25 rod thread, offering straightforward pneumatic integration for genuine AirTAC performance in fixture clamping and material handling.

The 360 mm stroke and 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably eject lightweight plastic or metal parts from injection molds or stamping dies.
Operates a small diverter gate on a packaging conveyor, using the adjustable cushion to softly stop the gate at each end of travel.
Provides precise linear motion for a fluid sampling arm in a lab automation setup, leveraging the clean, filtered-air operation of the SC series.
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the SC40 bore provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. When replacing an existing cylinder, match all five key points: 32 mm bore, 360 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic mount (no bracket), and no magnet. The SC is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
At 360 mm of stroke, the 12 mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads. Always guide the load externally with a linear rail or rod guide to prevent rod bearing damage and ensure long seal life.
Quick checklist
The theoretical push force at 0.7 MPa is 563 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 724 N. The maximum theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
This specific model (SC32X360) does not include a built-in magnet. To use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, you would need the -S magnet option (e.g., SC32X360-S). Without the magnet, the standard cylinder body is not compatible with these clamp-on sensors.
