The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X180H is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 180mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X180H is a compact double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling to 724 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. Its 180 mm stroke and 12 mm diameter piston rod make it a practical actuator for light-duty positioning and clamping tasks where space is limited.
This model is equipped with Viton (FKM) seals, shifting the operating temperature range from the standard -20 to +70 °C up to 0 to +150 °C, making it suitable for autoclaves, foundries, and other high-heat environments. The body length A is 140 mm, resulting in a total extended length of approximately 320 mm, and it uses a PT1/8 port with an M10x1.25 rod thread.

The Viton seals allow this cylinder to operate reliably in autoclave doors, steam tunnels, and drying ovens where ambient temperatures reach up to 150 °C.
With 402 N of force at standard line pressure, it is ideal for light-duty clamping of electronic components or small plastic parts during assembly or testing.
The 180 mm stroke provides sufficient travel for actuating small diverter gates or stops on compact conveyor systems for lightweight packages.
Choose the SC32 bore for light push forces up to 724 N. If your application requires more force, step up to the SC40, which provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. For strokes of 300 mm or longer, be mindful of side loading on the 12 mm rod; an external linear guide or a guided cylinder variant is recommended to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: 32 mm bore, 180 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic (no bracket) mounting, and the absence of a built-in magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 563 N, and the pull force is 345 N at 0.5 MPa. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf, though the maximum operating pressure is 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific model (SC32X180H) does not have the -S suffix, so it lacks a built-in magnet. To use CMSG or DMSG sensors for position feedback, order the SC32X180SH variant instead.
