The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X380 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 380mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X380 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 max operating pressure). Its 380 mm stroke sits well within the 1000 mm maximum standard stroke for the 32 mm bore, making it a readily available standard configuration.
This model features a 12 mm diameter piston rod with M10x1.25 threads and a 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the load smoothly. The body length A is 140 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 520 mm. Ports are PT1/8, and the standard TPU seals suit a wide -20 to +70 °C operating range.

The 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably ejects light stamped or molded components from fixtures, with the 380 mm stroke providing ample reach for deep tooling.
Operates a small diverter gate on a packaging conveyor. The adjustable cushion minimizes impact noise and vibration at the end of the 380 mm travel, protecting the gate mechanism.
Drives a linear sampling probe in an automated test rig. The compact 140 mm body length plus 380 mm stroke fits neatly into bench-top equipment, and the double-acting control ensures precise retraction.
Select the SC32X380 for light to medium pneumatic tasks where a compact footprint is essential. If your load requires more force, step up to the 40 mm bore SC40 series, which provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. For strokes of 300 mm or more, always check for side loading—an unsupported 12 mm rod at 380 mm extension can bend under lateral force. Add an external linear guide or switch to a guided cylinder if side loads are present.
For a direct replacement, match these five points exactly: 32 mm bore, 380 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, basic (no bracket) mounting, and no magnet. The SC is a tie-rod design and is dimensionally shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder, so it is not a drop-in substitute for ISO 15552 types.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa (7 bar) operating pressure, the SC32X380 generates 563 N of push force. The maximum push force at 0.9 MPa is 724 N. Always operate within the 0.15–1.0 MPa pressure range.
No, the SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder of the same bore and stroke. The mounting dimensions and overall length differ, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It replaces another AirTAC SC32 cylinder of the same configuration.
