The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X90 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 90mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X90 is a 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 piston rod and M10x1.25 rod-end thread suit light clamping, sorting, and transfer tasks where a 90 mm stroke provides just enough reach without excessive envelope.
This model uses the standard PT1/8 port and TPU seals for a -20 to +70 °C operating range. The 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly, protecting end caps during high-cycle operation. Body length A is 140 mm, giving a compact extended length of approximately 230 mm.

The 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa and 90 mm stroke are ideal for light-duty pneumatic clamps on drilling or milling fixtures.
Actuates a diverter gate on a small conveyor line. The 21 mm cushion absorbs impact at the end of the 90 mm stroke for quiet, reliable cycling.
Extends a tamp pad precisely 90 mm to apply labels onto packages. The tie-rod construction allows easy maintenance in high-cycle packaging lines.
Choose the SC32X90 when the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa matches your load. If you need more force, step up to the SC40 bore (628 N at 0.5 MPa). For strokes of 300 mm or longer on this 12 mm rod, consider an external guide or a guided cylinder to protect the rod bearing from side-load bending.
To replace an existing SC32X90, match five points: 32 mm bore, 90 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, basic (no mounting accessory), and no magnet. The SC is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
Quick checklist
At 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 reaches 724 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is shorter than an equivalent ISO 15552 cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. Replace only with another AirTAC SC32 cylinder of matching stroke, port, and mounting.
