The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X45CB 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 SC32X45CB is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 45 mm stroke, delivering a push force of 402 N at 0.5 MPa (up to 724 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable end-of-stroke deceleration for light automation tasks.
This model is factory-configured with a rear double clevis (CB) mount, part F-SC32CB, allowing the cylinder body to pivot during operation. The standard PT1/8 port thread and TPU seals suit normal industrial environments with a temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.

Actuates a diverter gate on a compact conveyor line, using the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa to redirect lightweight packages.
Provides consistent clamping pressure for small components in a machining or assembly jig, with the rear clevis allowing the body to swing clear for loading.
Operates a test fixture lid or sample positioning slide in a benchtop instrument, benefiting from the clean, oil-free air operation and compact 140 mm body length.
Choose the SC32 for light pushing and clamping where space is tight. If your application needs more force, step up to the SC40 bore, which provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. For this 45 mm stroke, side loading is minimal, but always align the rod with the load axis to prevent premature seal wear.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 32 mm bore, 45 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, CB rear double clevis mounting, and the absence of a built-in magnet. This ensures a direct dimensional and performance swap with another AirTAC SC32 tie-rod unit.
Quick checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 345 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 724 N.
Yes. The 'CB' suffix indicates it comes with a rear double clevis bracket (F-SC32CB), which provides a pivot point at the rear cap. This allows the cylinder body to swing as the rod extends and retracts, preventing side loads on the rod bearing.
