The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X80FA is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 80mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X80FA is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 80 mm stroke is ideal for short-transfer and clamping operations where space is limited, and the 12 mm piston rod provides solid alignment for light guided loads.
This model comes with a front rectangular flange (FA) for rigid panel mounting, using accessory F-SC32FA. The body length A is 140 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 220 mm. Adjustable air cushioning at both ends decelerates the piston smoothly across the 21 mm cushion length.

The 402 N force at 0.5 MPa is well-suited for clamping light components in CNC fixtures and assembly jigs without deforming delicate workpieces.
Quick 80 mm stroke actuates small diverter gates on packaging conveyors, sorting cartons or pouches with reliable double-acting control.
Used in benchtop test rigs for cycling buttons, switches, or small levers, where the adjustable cushion protects the device under test from impact.
Choose the SC32 when your application needs up to 402 N at 0.5 MPa. If you require more force, step up to the SC40 (628 N at 0.5 MPa). For replacement, match five points: 32 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, PT1/8 ports, FA front flange mount, and the standard TPU seal. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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, push force reaches 724 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length than an equivalent ISO 15552 cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. Replace only with another AirTAC SC32 cylinder matching the bore, stroke, PT1/8 port, and FA front flange mount.
