The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X80SN 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 SC32X80SN is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (up to 724 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth deceleration for the 80 mm stroke, making it a reliable workhorse for light automation tasks.
This model is factory-equipped with a built-in magnet (-S suffix) so CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors can be mounted directly onto the barrel for non-contact position sensing. The NBR seals (-N suffix) offer a cost-effective sealing solution for standard industrial air supplies, with PT1/8 ports for straightforward pneumatic connection.

The 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa is ideal for ejecting lightweight plastic or metal components from injection molds or pick-and-place nests in clean, dry environments.
Use the 80 mm stroke to actuate small diverter gates on packaging conveyors. The built-in magnet enables end-of-stroke sensing to confirm gate position for the control system.
The compact body length (140 mm + 80 mm stroke) and NBR seals suit the precise, repetitive clamping and test-tube handling tasks found in medical device assembly and laboratory automation.
For applications needing more force, consider stepping up to the 40 mm bore SC40 series, which provides 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Always match replacements across five key points: bore (32 mm), stroke (80 mm), port thread (PT1/8), the built-in magnet (-S), and the NBR seal material. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders; it is shorter in overall length, so only a direct SC32 replacement will fit existing mounting and plumbing.
Quick checklist
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the cylinder pushes with 402 N and pulls with 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 AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder that is shorter in overall body length than an equivalent ISO 15552 cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. You must replace it with another AirTAC SC32 tie-rod cylinder matching the 80 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, NBR seals, and built-in magnet.
