The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X165H is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 165mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X165H is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, featuring a 32 mm bore and a 165 mm stroke. This model is equipped with high-temperature Viton (FKM) seals, extending the operating temperature range to 0–150 °C, making it suitable for hot environments where standard TPU seals would degrade. It produces a push force of 402 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 724 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa.
With a 12 mm diameter piston rod and an M10x1.25 rod thread, this cylinder includes an adjustable air cushion (21 mm length) to decelerate the piston quietly at stroke ends. The body length A is 140 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 305 mm. This is a genuine AirTAC component, precision-built for reliable industrial automation.

Related variants: SCD (double rod), SCJ (adjustable stroke), SCT (multi-position). Seals: TPU standard / H = Viton / N = NBR. Thread: blank = PT, G = G thread.
Ideal for actuating dampers or gates in autoclaves, ovens, and sterilisation equipment where ambient temperatures exceed 70 °C, thanks to the 0–150 °C Viton seal rating.
Provides a controlled 402 N push force for ejecting lightweight plastic or metal parts from moulds and fixtures in high-speed automated assembly cells.
Operates a small diverter gate on a conveyor line, handling frequent cycling with filtered compressed air at standard shop pressures.
Select the SC32X165H when your application requires a compact 32 mm bore with a 165 mm stroke and resistance to elevated temperatures up to 150 °C. If the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa is insufficient, consider stepping up to the 40 mm bore SC40 series, which provides 628 N at the same pressure. For a direct replacement, match the bore (32 mm), stroke (165 mm), PT port thread, and ensure the replacement also uses Viton seals for high-temperature compatibility.
For strokes of 300 mm or more, side loading on the 12 mm rod becomes a critical factor; external guides or a guided cylinder are recommended to prevent rod bending. This model does not include a built-in magnet, so if sensor-based position detection is required, select an SC32X165SH variant or use external limit switches.
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 increases to 724 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
No. The SC32X165H is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. The piston will drift or drop. If load holding is required, you must add a pilot-operated check valve or an external mechanical rod brake.
