About the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X450
The SC32X450 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa). Its 32 mm bore and 450 mm stroke make it a practical choice for medium-reach clamping, sorting, and light transfer tasks where a compact tie-rod body is preferred.
This model uses a 12 mm piston rod with M10x1.25 threads and PT1/8 ports. The body length A is 140 mm, giving an extended length of approximately 590 mm. An adjustable air cushion on both ends decelerates the piston, reducing end-of-stroke impact for smoother machine cycles.

Where the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X450 Is Used
Part Stops & Sorting Gates
The 450 mm stroke and 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa effectively operate part stops and diverter gates on light-duty packaging and assembly conveyors.
Clamping & Fixturing
Delivers consistent clamping pressure for woodworking or light metal fabrication jigs, with the adjustable cushion protecting the fixture from hammering at the end of the stroke.
Material Pushers
Ideal for pushing small components onto a scale or into a test nest, where the 12 mm rod provides sufficient rigidity for on-axis loads over a 450 mm reach.
Is the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X450 the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the 40 mm bore (SC40 series) provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. If the 450 mm stroke is near the limit of your layout, confirm that the rod is adequately supported—at this stroke length, side loads can cause rod bearing wear. An external guide or a guided cylinder is recommended when the load is not perfectly axial.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 32 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, basic (no accessory) mounting, and the absence of a built-in magnet. This ensures a direct dimensional and performance swap with another AirTAC SC32 tie-rod cylinder.
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 SC32X450 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the theoretical push force is 402 N. At 0.7 MPa it is 563 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it reaches 724 N. The pull force on the retract stroke is lower due to the rod area: 345 N at 0.5 MPa.
Direct side loading is not recommended, especially on a 450 mm stroke with a 12 mm rod. The bending moment can damage the rod bearing and seals. Use an external linear guide, rod coupler with alignment, or switch to a guided cylinder for off-axis loads.
