The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X8 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 8mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X8 is a compact double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 8 mm stroke is ideal for short-throw clamping, ejecting, or sorting tasks where space is tight and cycle speed matters.
This 32 mm bore tie-rod cylinder uses a 12 mm diameter piston rod with an M10x1.25 rod thread and PT1/8 ports. The body length A is 140 mm, making the total extended length approximately 148 mm. It includes an adjustable air cushion (21 mm length) to decelerate the piston quietly at end of stroke.

The 8 mm stroke provides a quick, precise push to eject small components from nests or fixtures in automated assembly cells.
Delivers 724 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa in a body just 148 mm long extended, ideal for securing thin workpieces during light machining or gluing.
Actuates a small diverter flap on a conveyor line, sorting lightweight packages with a fast, repeatable 8 mm linear movement.
For applications needing slightly more force in the same compact envelope, the 40 mm bore SC40 series provides 628 N push at 0.5 MPa. When matching a replacement SC32X8, confirm five points: 32 mm bore, 8 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, basic mounting (no brackets), and the absence of a built-in magnet. The short 8 mm stroke keeps the rod well-supported inside the bearing, so side-load concerns are minimal for this model.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC32X8 produces 563 N of push force. The pull force at the same pressure is lower due to the 12 mm rod area, delivering 345 N at 0.5 MPa.
This standard SC32X8 model does not include a built-in magnet. To use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors for position detection, order the magnet-equipped variant SC32X8-S, which has a magnetized piston ring that triggers sensors clamped to the barrel.
