The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X78 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 78mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X78 is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion make it well-suited for short-stroke clamping, sorting, and light transfer tasks where a 78 mm stroke provides a precise linear movement.
With a body length A of 140 mm, the total extended length is approximately 218 mm. The cylinder uses PT1/8 ports and an M10x1.25 rod thread, operating on filtered air from -20 to +70 °C with standard TPU seals. This model is a basic configuration without a magnet or mounting accessories, ready for direct integration into your pneumatic circuit.

The 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa securely holds small parts during drilling, milling, or assembly operations without damaging delicate workpieces.
With a 78 mm stroke, this cylinder effectively pushes items off a conveyor line for quality inspection or packaging, operating at speeds up to 800 mm/s.
Ideal for inserting bearings, pins, or bushings into housings where a controlled 724 N maximum force at 0.9 MPa ensures a secure fit without over-pressing.
Choose the SC32X78 when your application needs a compact actuator with a push force around 402 N at standard plant pressure. If you require more force, stepping up to the SC40 bore provides 628 N at the same 0.5 MPa. For strokes of 78 mm on a 12 mm rod, side loads are generally manageable, but always align the load axially to prevent rod bending. For replacement, match the 32 mm bore, 78 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, and basic mounting configuration exactly.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, 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 reaches 724 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder that is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC32 cylinder with the same 78 mm stroke, PT ports, and basic mounting.
