The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X40TC 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 SC32X40TC is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, ideal for light-duty pneumatic tasks. With a 32 mm bore, 12 mm piston rod, and a short 40 mm stroke, it provides a crisp, fast cycle for sorting and diverting applications.
This model includes a TC centre trunnion mount (supplied with TCM1 bracket, part code F-SC32TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot smoothly during operation. The adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the 21 mm cushion stroke to reduce impact, while the PT1/8 port ensures straightforward connection to standard pneumatic tubing.

The 40 mm stroke and trunnion pivot mount make this cylinder ideal for actuating diverter gates on compact conveyor lines, handling light items with the 402 N push force available at 0.5 MPa.
Delivers a controlled 40 mm linear movement for clamping small workpieces in jigs and assembly fixtures, where the adjustable cushion protects delicate parts from impact damage.
The centre trunnion mount allows the cylinder body to swing, making it suitable for driving rotating linkages and levers in packaging machinery that require a short, repeatable stroke.
For a 32 mm bore with a 40 mm stroke, this cylinder is a precise fit for short-throw actuation. If more force is needed, stepping up to a 40 mm bore provides 628 N of push at the same 0.5 MPa pressure. When replacing an existing unit, match five points: 32 mm bore, 40 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting, and confirm whether a magnet sensor is required (this model has no built-in magnet).
Quick checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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 increases to 724 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It can only directly replace another AirTAC SC32 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, and TC centre trunnion mount.
