The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X80TC 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 AirTAC SC32X80TC is a double-acting, tie-rod pneumatic cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at 0.9 MPa). With an 80 mm stroke and a 12 mm diameter piston rod, this model is well-suited for light clamping, sorting, and ejector tasks where space is limited.
This variant includes a centre trunnion (TC) mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC32TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation. The body length A is 140 mm, and the adjustable pneumatic cushion (21 mm) decelerates the piston smoothly at each end of the stroke.

Pivots a diverter gate on a conveyor line to sort lightweight packages. The trunnion mount allows smooth angular movement for reliable redirection.
Operates a swing clamp in a machining centre. The 402 N force at 0.5 MPa holds small components securely during light drilling or milling.
Drives a mechanical linkage in packaging machinery. The TC mount absorbs side loads from the linkage, protecting the rod bearing from excessive wear.
Select the SC32X80TC for pivoting applications where the cylinder must swing through an arc. The centre trunnion mount absorbs reaction forces along the cylinder centreline, making it ideal for lever-actuated mechanisms. If more force is needed, step up to the SC40 bore, which provides 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa.
For replacement, match the 32 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting accessory, and confirm the magnet option (this model has no built-in magnet). 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, the push force reaches 724 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
No. The SC32X80TC is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold position if pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centred. For load holding without live pressure, an external rod brake or pilot-operated check valve is required.
