The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X15N 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 AirTAC SC32X15N is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a short 15 mm stroke, factory-equipped with NBR (nitrile) seals. It generates a push force of 402 N at 0.5 MPa and 724 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, making it suitable for light clamping and ejector duties.
This model uses a 12 mm diameter piston rod with an M10x1.25 rod thread and PT1/8 pneumatic ports. The body length A is 140 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 155 mm. The adjustable air cushion (21 mm length) decelerates the piston at end-of-stroke to reduce impact noise.

The 15 mm stroke and 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably eject small plastic or metal parts from injection molds and stamping dies in automated cells.
Applies consistent, controlled clamping force for gluing or assembly fixtures. The NBR seals offer good resistance to oils often present in workshop air supplies.
Operates a small diverter or stop gate on a conveyor line. The tie-rod construction allows for easy maintenance and seal replacement in high-cycle packaging lines.
Select the SC32X15N for short-throw, light-force applications up to 724 N. If your force requirement exceeds this, step up to the 40 mm bore SC40 series, which provides 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. For strokes longer than 300 mm, consider an external guide or a guided cylinder to protect the 12 mm rod from side-load bending.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five key points: 32 mm bore, 15 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the NBR seal material, and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration. This cylinder is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profiles.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder provides 402 N pushing and 345 N pulling. 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 NBR seals on this SC32X15N are rated for the standard temperature range of -20 to +70 °C. For applications up to 150 °C, select the Viton (FKM) seal option, designated by the suffix 'H' in the model code.
