The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X400SH is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 400mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X400SH is a double-acting single-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, stepping up to 724 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 32 mm bore, 12 mm piston rod, and a 400 mm stroke, it is well-suited for medium-reach clamping, sorting, and ejection tasks where a compact tie-rod body is required.
This model is configured with a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, enabling precise end-of-stroke detection without external brackets. The -H suffix specifies Viton (FKM) seals, shifting the operating temperature range to 0 to +150 °C for reliable performance in hot environments. The 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly to reduce impact noise.

Related variants: SCD (double rod), SCJ (adjustable stroke), SCT (multi-position). Seals: TPU standard / H = Viton / N = NBR. Thread: blank = PT, G = G thread.
Viton seals enable continuous operation in ovens, autoclaves, or foundry equipment up to 150°C, where standard seals would degrade.
The built-in magnet allows CMSG sensors to confirm gate position, providing reliable feedback for diverting small packages on conveyor lines.
With 724 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa and a 400 mm stroke, it provides ample reach for securing components in thermal test chambers.
For applications requiring more force, consider stepping up to the 40 mm bore SC40 series, which provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. If a shorter overall length is needed, the 32 mm bore’s maximum standard stroke is 1000 mm, so this 400 mm stroke is well within standard limits. The 12 mm rod is relatively slender; for strokes over 300 mm with any side load, use an external guide or linear bearing to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
To ensure a correct drop-in replacement, match five key points: bore (32 mm), stroke (400 mm), PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility, and the basic mounting configuration. This cylinder is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa (approximately 100 psi), the theoretical push force is 563 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the force increases to 724 N. The pull force on the retract stroke is slightly lower due to the rod area, rated at 345 N at 0.5 MPa.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter overall body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. It is a direct match only for another AirTAC SC32 tie-rod cylinder with the same stroke, PT ports, and magnet option.
