The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X450 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 450mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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
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.
