The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X15H is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 15mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X15H is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder built for short-stroke positioning in elevated-temperature environments. With a 32 mm bore and 15 mm stroke, it delivers 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it ideal for clamping or ejecting small parts near ovens or heated tooling.
This model is fitted with Viton (FKM) seals, shifting the operating temperature range to 0–150 °C. The 12 mm diameter piston rod with M10x1.25 thread provides adequate rigidity for this short stroke, while the PT1/8 port and adjustable air cushion ensure smooth end-of-stroke deceleration.

Actuates small clamping or ejection mechanisms inside heated platen presses and thermoforming tools where ambient temperatures reach up to 150 °C.
Operates small interlocks or door latches on laboratory autoclaves and sterilization equipment, withstanding repeated high-temperature steam cycles.
Positions small components in automated soldering or plastic welding stations, resisting heat soak from nearby heating elements.
Choose the SC32 bore for light-duty actuation up to 724 N at 0.9 MPa. If your force requirement exceeds this, step up to the SC40 bore, which provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. For strokes longer than 300 mm, consider an external guide to protect the 12 mm rod from side-load bending.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 32 mm bore, 15 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic mounting (no bracket), and the -S magnet option if sensors are needed. This SC32X15H uses Viton seals—ensure the replacement also specifies H for high-temperature compatibility.
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 Viton seals are compatible with room-temperature operation, but they are specified for high-temperature environments up to 150 °C. For a standard -20 to +70 °C range, the TPU seal version (SC32X15) is a more cost-effective choice.
