About the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X72
The SC32X72 is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at 0.9 MPa). With a 32 mm bore and 72 mm stroke, it uses a 12 mm diameter piston rod with an M10x1.25 thread, making it a precise actuator for light to medium pneumatic tasks.
This model features a body length A of 140 mm and a 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to reduce end-of-stroke impact. It operates on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa within a standard temperature range of -20 to +70 °C using TPU seals, and connects via PT1/8 ports.

Where the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X72 Is Used
Small Part Clamping
The 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa is ideal for clamping light components in CNC machining or assembly fixtures without deforming delicate parts.
Material Sorting Gates
Use the 72 mm stroke to actuate diverter gates on small conveyor lines, directing packages or products based on a control signal.
Laboratory Automation
The compact 140 mm body length and clean double-acting operation suit test equipment and lab automation where space is limited and precise linear motion is required.
Is the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X72 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC32X72 when your application needs around 400 N of force. If you require more thrust, stepping up to the SC40 bore provides 628 N at the same 0.5 MPa pressure. For strokes over 300 mm, consider an external guide to protect the 12 mm rod from side-load bending.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five key points: 32 mm bore, 72 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration, and the absence of a built-in magnet. This cylinder is a direct replacement for another AirTAC SC32X72 tie-rod unit.
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 SC32X72 FAQ
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.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so mounting dimensions are not interchangeable. It is a direct dimensional match only for another AirTAC SC32 tie-rod cylinder.
