The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X90STC 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 SC32X90STC is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 90 mm stroke, pre-configured with a built-in magnet and centre trunnion mounting. It generates 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure), making it a compact workhorse for light pneumatic tasks.
This model features a 12 mm diameter piston rod with M10x1.25 male threads and a 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end. The -S magnet allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for non-contact position sensing, while the TC centre trunnion (supplied with TCM1 bracket, part code F-SC32TC) lets the cylinder pivot for swinging loads.

The 90 mm stroke and trunnion mount allow the cylinder to pivot a compact diverter gate on a conveyor line. The built-in magnet provides end-of-stroke confirmation to the PLC via a DMSG sensor.
Delivers 402 N at 0.5 MPa to close light gripper jaws on an end-of-arm tool. The tie-rod construction is easy to service in high-cycle assembly cells.
Ideal for clean, dry-air indexing of test tube racks or clamping fixtures. The adjustable cushion decelerates the 12 mm rod smoothly to prevent vibration and sample disturbance.
Choose the SC32 when your application needs up to 402 N of push force at standard plant air. If you require more force, step up to the SC40 bore, which delivers 628 N at the same 0.5 MPa. For this 90 mm stroke, the rod bearing is well-supported, but if you later move to strokes above 300 mm on a 32 mm bore, add an external guide to protect the 12 mm rod from side-load bending.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 32 mm bore, 90 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, TC centre trunnion mounting (F-SC32TC), and the -S magnet for sensor compatibility. This tie-rod SC series is shorter than ISO 15552 cylinders and is not dimensionally interchangeable with them.
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.
Yes. The -S suffix means a magnet is built into the piston, so you can clamp CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the barrel's tie-rod slots to detect piston position.
