The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X400TC 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 SC32X400TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 32 mm bore and 400 mm stroke suit medium-reach linear tasks where a compact tie-rod body is preferred.
This model includes a centre trunnion (TC) mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket, allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation. The 12 mm diameter piston rod features an M10x1.25 thread, and the adjustable air cushion (21 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at both ends of the stroke.

The 400 mm stroke and pivoting TC mount suit diverting lightweight packages or components on a conveyor line, where the cylinder needs to swing through an arc.
Delivers 402 N of clamping force at standard line pressure, ideal for holding small workpieces in a machining or welding fixture that requires a pivoting actuation angle.
Used in life-cycle test rigs for small mechanisms, the adjustable cushion protects the cylinder and the test article from impact damage over millions of cycles.
For applications needing more force, the SC40 bore steps up to 628 N push at 0.5 MPa. With a 400 mm stroke on a 12 mm rod, ensure side loads are minimal or use an external guide to prevent rod bending. When replacing, match the 32 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, PT port thread, TC centre trunnion mount, and confirm the magnet option (this model has no built-in magnet).
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.
Yes, the TC suffix denotes a centre trunnion mount. It ships with the TCM1 bracket, allowing the cylinder body to pivot around its centre point, which is essential for following an arc path without rod side-loading.
