The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X400STC is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 400mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X400STC is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 32 mm bore and 400 mm stroke suit light-duty linear tasks where space is tight. The built-in magnet allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors to clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position sensing.
This model ships with the TC centre trunnion mount and TCM1 bracket (F-SC32TC), letting the cylinder pivot during operation—ideal for swinging or articulating loads. The 12 mm rod with M10x1.25 thread and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth deceleration. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa with TPU seals rated for -20 to +70 °C.

Pushes lightweight components on a conveyor with 402 N at 0.5 MPa. The 400 mm stroke covers wide belt sections, and the trunnion mount absorbs misalignment.
Applies consistent clamping force in CNC jigs. The built-in magnet enables end-of-stroke confirmation via reed sensors for automated safety interlocks.
Actuates folding mechanisms on carton erectors. The TC mount allows the cylinder to pivot, following the arc of the folding plate.
Choose the SC32 for compact force up to 724 N at 0.9 MPa. If your load exceeds this, step up to the SC40 bore which provides 628 N push at just 0.5 MPa. For this 400 mm stroke, ensure the rod is not subjected to side loads; an external linear guide or a guided cylinder is recommended to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 32 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, TC centre trunnion mount (F-SC32TC), and the built-in magnet (-S suffix). The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profiles.
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, the push force reaches 724 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
No. The SC32 is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold position when pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centred. For load holding, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve.
