About the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X390
The AirTAC SC32X390 is a compact double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at 0.9 MPa). With a 32 mm bore and 390 mm stroke, it suits medium-reach clamping, pressing, and sorting tasks where space is limited but reliable actuation is essential.
Built on a tie-rod construction with a 12 mm diameter piston rod and M10x1.25 rod thread, this cylinder includes an adjustable air cushion (21 mm length) to decelerate the piston smoothly at end of stroke. The body length A is 140 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 530 mm. PT1/8 ports are standard.

Where the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X390 Is Used
Small-Part Clamping
The 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa securely holds small components in CNC fixtures and assembly jigs without deforming delicate workpieces.
Product Sorting Gates
With a 390 mm stroke, this cylinder actuates diverter gates on narrow conveyors, directing lightweight packages between lanes in logistics hubs.
Lab Automation
Compact 32 mm bore fits tight lab instrument enclosures, moving sample trays or pipetting heads with clean, oil-free air operation.
Is the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X390 the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, step up to the SC40 bore (628 N push at 0.5 MPa). If a shorter, faster-cycling stroke is acceptable, the SC32X300 reduces overall length. At 390 mm stroke, the 12 mm rod is slender—avoid unguided side loads; use an external linear guide or a guided cylinder if the load is not perfectly axial. When replacing an existing unit, match bore (32 mm), stroke (390 mm), PT1/8 port thread, mounting accessory, and magnet option (-S if present).
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X390 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the push force is 402 N and 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.
No. The SC32X390 is a double-acting cylinder that requires continuous air pressure to maintain position. If pressure is exhausted, the piston will drift. For load holding without live pressure, add a pilot-operated check valve or an external rod brake.
