The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X15LB 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 SC32X15LB is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 724 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 15 mm stroke and an LB foot mounting bracket (F-SC32LB) pre-attached, this model is ready for direct surface mounting in tight automation cells.
Built with a 12 mm diameter piston rod and M10x1.25 rod threads, the cylinder includes an adjustable air cushion (21 mm length) to decelerate the piston quietly. The body length A is 140 mm, making the total extended length approximately 155 mm. Ports are PT1/8, and the standard TPU seals suit a temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.

The 15 mm stroke and 402 N force at 0.5 MPa are ideal for light clamping fixtures in electronics or medical device assembly, where a short, controlled push is needed.
Use the SC32X15LB to actuate small diverter gates on compact conveyor lines. The foot mount provides stable, low-profile installation directly onto the machine frame.
The rapid 30-800 mm/s speed range and short stroke make this cylinder a good fit for high-cycle labeling or hot-stamping heads where consistent, light force is critical.
Choose the SC32 bore for light pneumatic tasks needing up to 724 N of force. If your application requires more push, step up to the SC40 bore, which provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. For replacement, match five key points: 32 mm bore, 15 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the LB foot mounting accessory, and the absence of a built-in magnet. This tie-rod design is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to other AirTAC SC32 models.
Quick checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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 increases to 724 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
No. The SC32X15LB is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The piston will drift. For load holding without live pressure, you must add an external rod brake or a pilot-operated check valve.
