The AirTAC Airtac SCD Standard Cylinder SCD32X110S is a genuine double-acting DOUBLE-ROD air cylinder: the Ø12mm piston rod extends from BOTH end caps, giving equal effective area — and therefore equal force — in push and pull. Ø32mm bore, 110mm stroke, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCD32X110S is a compact double-rod pneumatic cylinder that outputs exactly 345 N of force in both directions at 0.5 MPa, thanks to its through-rod design where the 12 mm rod occupies both pressure areas equally. This symmetry makes it ideal for applications needing consistent speed and thrust on the extend and retract strokes, such as operating a two-sided tool or a transfer mechanism that must not twist.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (denoted by the -S suffix), this model accepts CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors directly on its tie-rod barrel for non-contact position sensing. The 21 mm air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly, and the PT1/8 ports keep the plumbing compact. With a body length of 187 mm, it fits into tight spaces where a guided rod on both ends is needed.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SCD (double-rod) datasheet. Because the rod runs through both caps, the effective area is (bore² − rod²) in both directions. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT (standard) / G.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 346 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 484 N | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 70 kgf | |
Push and pull are EQUAL on a double-rod cylinder — both chambers lose the rod area, so effective area = (bore² − rod²) each way. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure; size with a safety margin.

Related types: SC (single rod), SCJ (adjustable stroke), SCT (multi-position). SCD mounting: Basic, FA, LB, TC, TCM1. Seals: TPU standard / H = Viton / N = NBR. Thread: blank = PT, G = G thread.
Operates tooling on both ends of the cylinder with perfectly matched force and speed, ideal for symmetrical clamping or forming fixtures.
The -S magnet and exposed rear rod allow mounting a sensor flag or cam on the back side to confirm full retraction in a compact envelope.
The dual-rod guidance provides better resistance to twisting than a single-rod cylinder, useful for light-duty pushing without a separate guide rail.
Choose the SCD32 bore when your application requires a light, balanced push-pull force up to 621 N at the maximum 0.9 MPa operating pressure. If you need more thrust, stepping up to the SCD40 bore provides 528 N at the same 0.5 MPa. This double-rod unit is the right choice over the single-rod SC series when you need to mount tooling or a cam on the rear rod, or when the inherent anti-rotation of the through-rod improves your mechanism's stability. For a direct replacement, match the 32 mm bore, 110 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic mounting, and the -S magnet option. The 110 mm stroke is well within the 1000 mm maximum standard length for this bore, keeping lead times short.
Double-rod checklist
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the push and pull forces are identical. At 0.5 MPa it outputs 345 N, at 0.7 MPa it is 483 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it reaches 621 N in both directions.
Choose the SCD when you need a piston rod on both ends. This allows you to mount a load or tooling on each side, use the rear rod for an external position flag, or gain better rod bearing support to reduce deflection. The force output is equal in both directions, unlike a single-rod cylinder where the pull force is lower.
