About the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X17
The AirTAC SC32X17 is a compact double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 402 N of push force and 345 N of pull force when operated at 0.5 MPa. With a 32 mm bore and a short 17 mm stroke, this model is ideal for clamping, ejecting, or sorting tasks where space is tight and a brief, precise linear movement is required.
This tie-rod cylinder features a 12 mm diameter piston rod with an M10x1.25 thread and a 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly. The body length A measures 140 mm, resulting in a total extended length of approximately 157 mm. It uses PT1/8 ports and operates reliably on filtered air between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa.

Where the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X17 Is Used
Small Part Clamping
The 17 mm stroke and 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa make this cylinder ideal for compact clamping fixtures on CNC routers or 3D printers, holding workpieces securely during light machining or additive manufacturing.
Product Sorting Gate
Use the SC32X17 as a fast-acting diverter gate on a small conveyor line. Its short stroke and rapid cycling capability (up to 800 mm/s) efficiently sort packages by size or destination.
Lab Automation Ejector
In laboratory automation, this cylinder provides a clean, lubricated-for-life actuation to eject test tubes or microplates from a tray, with the 21 mm cushion ensuring a gentle, vibration-free stop.
Is the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X17 the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing slightly more force in the same compact footprint, consider stepping up to the SC40 bore, which provides 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa. If your load is lighter and you require a smaller actuator, a 25 mm bore from a different series may be suitable. This SC32X17 is a standard configuration with TPU seals, PT threads, and no magnet or mounting accessories.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: 32 mm bore, 17 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, basic (no bracket) mounting, and the absence of a built-in magnet. The SC series is a tie-rod design and is dimensionally shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder, so it is not a drop-in replacement for those profiles.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X17 FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 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.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter overall body length than a typical ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC32 cylinder or an equivalent tie-rod design with matching bore, stroke, and port thread.
