The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X170H is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 170mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X170H is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder equipped with high-temperature Viton (FKM) seals, extending its operating range from 0 to +150 °C for demanding thermal environments. With a 32 mm bore and 170 mm stroke, it delivers a theoretical push force of 724 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa.
This model features a 12 mm piston rod with an M10x1.25 thread and a 21 mm adjustable air cushion to decelerate the load smoothly at stroke end. The compact body length A is 140 mm, resulting in a total extended length of approximately 310 mm. PT1/8 ports are standard.

Viton seals withstand repeated high-temperature sterilization cycles, making this cylinder suitable for autoclave doors and medical device processing equipment.
Reliable actuation in heated platen presses for laminating or composite curing, where ambient temperatures exceed standard seal limits.
Operates reliably near furnaces and kilns to actuate small damper gates or material diverters in high-ambient-heat environments.
Choose the SC32X170H for applications requiring heat resistance up to 150 °C. If your force requirement is higher at standard temperatures, stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. For strokes of 300 mm or more, evaluate side loads carefully; a long, unsupported 12 mm rod can bend under lateral stress, and an external guide or guided cylinder is recommended. For a direct replacement, match the 32 mm bore, 170 mm stroke, PT port thread, and Viton seal material.
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 theoretical push force reaches 724 N.
No. The SC32X170H is a double-acting cylinder and will drift or drop if pressure is exhausted. To hold a position safely without live pressure, you must add a pilot-operated check valve or an external mechanical rod lock.
