The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X40FA is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 40mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X40FA is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a push force of 402 N at 0.5 MPa (563 N at 0.7 MPa). Its 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable deceleration in a short 40 mm stroke format.
This model comes with a front rectangular flange (FA) for secure panel mounting, using accessory F-SC32FA. The body length A is 140 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 180 mm. Standard PT1/8 ports and TPU seals suit general industrial air service from -20 to +70 °C.

The 40 mm stroke and 402 N force eject lightweight components from fixtures or nests on automated assembly stations.
Operates small diverter gates on mini conveyor lines, where the front flange mount simplifies attachment to a bulkhead.
Applies consistent clamping pressure to delicate parts in woodworking or electronics assembly, with adjustable cushioning preventing impact damage.
For higher force, step up to the 40 mm bore SC40 series, which provides 628 N push at 0.5 MPa. The 32 mm bore is ideal where space is tight but 402 N is sufficient. When replacing, match bore (32), stroke (40), port thread (PT), front flange mount (FA), and confirm magnet requirement—this model has no built-in magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder pushes with 402 N and pulls with 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 SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is dimensionally interchangeable only with another AirTAC SC32 tie-rod cylinder of the same stroke, port type, and mounting.
