The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X450SH 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 SC32X450SH is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, ideal for medium-speed automation tasks. With a 450 mm stroke and a 12 mm piston rod, this model suits light-duty transfer and positioning applications where a compact tie-rod design is preferred.
This variant includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, enabling rod position feedback without external brackets. The -H suffix specifies Viton (FKM) seals, extending the operating temperature range to 0–150 °C for hot-environment duty. Ports are PT1/8 with an M10x1.25 rod thread, and the adjustable cushion is 21 mm long.

The Viton seals allow this cylinder to operate reliably in autoclaves, drying ovens, and foundry equipment where ambient temperatures reach up to 150 °C, maintaining consistent 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa.
With the built-in magnet, mount CMSG reed sensors directly on the barrel to confirm end-of-stroke for pick-and-place units, ensuring precise part insertion and cycle counting in automated assembly cells.
Use the 450 mm stroke to divert hot parts on conveyor lines. The 12 mm rod and adjustable cushion provide smooth, controlled motion for lightweight diverters operating in continuous thermal cycling.
Choose the SC32 bore for light push forces up to 724 N (at 0.9 MPa). If your application needs more force, step up to the SC40 bore which provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. For this 450 mm stroke, ensure the rod is not subjected to significant side load; if side loading is unavoidable, use an external linear guide or a guided cylinder to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 32 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility, and the Viton seal material for high-temperature operation.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, this 32 mm bore cylinder produces a theoretical push force of 563 N. The pull force on the retract stroke at the same pressure is 345 N, accounting for the 12 mm piston rod area.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is dimensionally shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. You must use AirTAC SC-specific mounting accessories such as the foot mount LB (F-SC32LB) or front flange FA (F-SC32FA) to ensure correct fit and alignment.
