The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X720 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 720mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X720 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa). With a 32 mm bore and a 720 mm stroke, this model is well-suited for medium-reach clamping, sorting, and material transfer tasks where a compact body length is not the primary constraint.
This cylinder features a 12 mm diameter piston rod with an M10x1.25 rod thread and PT1/8 ports. The adjustable air cushion at each end (21 mm cushion length) provides smooth deceleration, reducing end-of-stroke impact. The body length A is 140 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 860 mm.

The 720 mm stroke provides ample reach for diverting packages or components between two parallel conveyor lines at moderate speed.
Ideal for automated welding or assembly jigs where a long, controlled stroke is needed to clamp a tall or deep workpiece with 402 N of force.
Suitable for opening and closing slide gates on hoppers or chutes in agricultural processing, handling the 720 mm travel distance efficiently.
For applications requiring more force, consider stepping up to the 40 mm bore SC40 series, which provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. If a shorter, more compact solution is acceptable, the 25 mm bore series offers a smaller footprint. For this 720 mm stroke, ensure side loads are minimal or use an external guide rail, as the 12 mm rod is susceptible to bending under high lateral forces at full extension.
To guarantee a correct replacement, match five key points: bore (32 mm), stroke (720 mm), port thread (PT1/8), mounting accessory (basic, no bracket), and magnet option (none). This model uses the standard TPU seal with an operating temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.
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 SC32X720 is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position when air pressure is exhausted or lost. The piston can drift or drop. For load holding, you must add an external mechanical lock, a rod brake, or a pilot-operated check valve.
