The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X900STC is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 900mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X900STC is a 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 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion are sized for moderate, repetitive linear tasks. This 900 mm stroke unit includes a built-in magnet and centre trunnion mount, making it ready for pivoting applications where sensor feedback is required.
With a compact tie-rod body length of just 140 mm (A dimension), the total extended length reaches approximately 1040 mm. The adjustable cushion decelerates the piston smoothly at end-of-stroke, protecting the end caps from impact. As a genuine AirTAC SC series cylinder, it is engineered for filtered-air service between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa and operates reliably from -20 to +70 °C with its standard TPU seals.

The 900 mm stroke and centre trunnion pivot suit conveyor diverters or pick-and-place arms that must swing through an arc to move lightweight parts between two distant stations.
With the built-in magnet and 724 N max thrust, this cylinder works in automated clamping fixtures where a CMSG/DMSG sensor confirms full closure before a machining cycle starts.
The TC trunnion mount allows the cylinder body to pivot, ideal for opening and closing hopper gates or chute diverters in material handling lines, with sensor feedback for gate position.
Select the SC32X900STC when your application needs a 32 mm bore with a long 900 mm reach and the ability to pivot. The centre trunnion (TC) mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC32TC), allows the cylinder to swing as the load articulates. The built-in magnet enables easy attachment of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for end-of-stroke detection. If 402 N at 0.5 MPa is insufficient, stepping up to the SC40 bore provides 628 N at the same pressure.
For this 900 mm stroke, side loading on the 12 mm rod is a critical consideration. An unsupported long stroke can cause rod bending and premature bearing wear. Always guide the load externally with a linear rail or rod guide, or consider a guided cylinder variant if the side forces cannot be eliminated. When replacing, match bore (32 mm), stroke (900 mm), PT port thread, TC mount, and the magnet option (-S) to ensure drop-in compatibility.
Quick checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the cylinder pushes with 402 N and pulls with 345 N. At the maximum 0.9 MPa pressure, the push force increases to 724 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
Long strokes on a 12 mm rod are susceptible to bending under side loads. Always use an external guide system, such as a linear rail, to absorb transverse forces. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston at end-of-stroke; it does not support the rod against side loading.
