The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X385S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 385mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X385 is a compact double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 32 mm bore and 385 mm stroke suit medium-reach actuation where space is limited.
This tie-rod cylinder uses a 12 mm diameter piston rod with an M10x1.25 thread and PT1/8 ports. The body length A is 140 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 525 mm. Adjustable air cushioning (21 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at end-of-travel.

Actuates a gate or diverter flap on a compact conveyor line, sorting lightweight packages with its 385 mm reach.
Provides consistent clamping force for small components in a CNC machining or assembly jig, using the 402 N push at standard shop air.
Extends a tamp pad 385 mm to apply labels onto boxes, offering reliable, repeatable motion in a packaging station.
For higher force, step up to the 40 mm bore (628 N at 0.5 MPa). For lighter, more compact needs, the 32 mm bore offers a good balance of force and size. At a 385 mm stroke, ensure the rod is guided externally if side loads are present, as the 12 mm rod can bend under off-axis forces.
To replace an existing SC32X385, match the 32 mm bore, 385 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, and basic (no bracket) mounting. If your original cylinder has a built-in magnet for sensors, ensure the replacement code includes the -S suffix.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the push force is 402 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it reaches 724 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
This basic SC32X385 model does not have a built-in magnet. To use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, order the SC32X385-S variant, which includes a magnet ring on the piston.
