The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X76 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 76mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X76 is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a push force of 402 N at 0.5 MPa (724 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa). Its 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion make it well-suited for light automation tasks requiring a precise 76 mm linear stroke.
With a body length of 140 mm, this genuine AirTAC actuator provides a total extended length of approximately 216 mm. The PT1/8 ports and M10x1.25 rod thread ensure straightforward pneumatic connections, while the standard TPU seals offer reliable operation from -20 to +70 °C.

The 76 mm stroke and 402 N force at 0.5 MPa are ideal for ejecting lightweight plastic or metal components from small molds or assembly fixtures.
Operates small diverter gates or sorting paddles on compact conveyor lines, where the 21 mm cushion absorbs impact for smooth, quiet cycling.
Provides repeatable linear motion for pipetting or reagent dispensing mechanisms in laboratory automation equipment, fitting into tight spaces with its 140 mm body length.
For applications needing slightly more force, consider stepping up to the 40 mm bore SC40 series, which provides 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. When replacing an existing cylinder, ensure a 5-point match: 32 mm bore, 76 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, basic mounting (no accessories), and no magnet. This SC model is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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.
No. The SC32X76 is a double-acting cylinder that requires continuous air pressure to maintain its position. If pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered, the piston rod can drift or drop. For load-holding applications, you must add an external rod brake or a pilot-operated check valve.
