The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X45CA is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 45mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X45CA is a compact double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, combining a 32 mm bore with a 45 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa it provides 402 N of push force, making it a capable actuator for light clamping, sorting, and ejecting tasks. The 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion ensure smooth end-of-stroke deceleration.
This model is factory-configured with a rear single clevis (CA) mount, allowing the cylinder body to pivot during operation. The mounting accessory code is F-SC32CA. Ports are threaded PT1/8, and the rod features an M10x1.25 male thread for easy attachment of tooling or a rod-end eye.

The 45 mm stroke and 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa are ideal for diverting small packages or components on a conveyor line, where the rear clevis mount allows the cylinder to swing into position.
Delivers consistent, controlled force for holding parts during light assembly or gluing processes. The adjustable cushion protects delicate components from impact damage.
The CA rear single clevis mount is purpose-built for pivoting linkages on machinery guards, diverters, or simple robotic arms, accommodating the natural arc of motion.
For applications requiring more force, consider stepping up to the 40 mm bore SC40 series, which delivers 628 N at 0.5 MPa. If space is the primary constraint, the SC32 remains the most compact option in the SC range. Always match the replacement cylinder on all five critical points: bore (32 mm), stroke (45 mm), PT port thread, CA rear clevis mounting, and the absence of a magnet.
For strokes of 300 mm or longer, side loads become a significant concern with the 12 mm rod. An external guide or a guided cylinder is recommended to prevent rod bearing damage and ensure reliable operation.
Quick checklist
The theoretical push force at 0.5 MPa is 402 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 724 N. The pull force on the retract stroke at 0.5 MPa is 345 N, due to the area taken up by the 12 mm piston rod.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length than a standard ISO 15552 cylinder. For a drop-in replacement, you must match another AirTAC SC32 tie-rod cylinder with the same bore, stroke, CA mount, and PT ports.
