The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X175 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 175mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X175 is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force and 345 N of pull force when operated at 0.5 MPa. Its 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion make it well-suited for light-duty clamping, sorting, and ejector tasks where space is limited.
With a body length A of 140 mm, the total extended length for this 175 mm stroke model reaches approximately 315 mm. The cylinder uses PT1/8 ports and an M10x1.25 rod thread, offering a balanced combination of speed (up to 800 mm/s) and force for automated assembly cells.

The 175 mm stroke and 12 mm rod reliably eject lightweight plastic or metal components from injection molds or stamping dies onto a conveyor.
Actuates low-friction diverter gates on mini conveyor lines, using the 21 mm adjustable cushion to reduce end-of-stroke impact and noise.
Operates test-tube pick-and-place mechanisms in laboratory automation equipment, where the filtered air supply and TPU seals suit clean, room-temperature environments.
For applications needing slightly more force, stepping up to the SC40 bore provides 628 N of push force at the same 0.5 MPa pressure. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: 32 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic mounting (no integrated bracket), and the absence of a barrel magnet. The SC32 is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
Quick checklist
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 SC32X175 is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. For load holding, you must add an external rod brake or a pilot-operated check valve.
