The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X45N 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 SC32X45N is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder from AirTAC, delivering 402 N of push force and 345 N of pull force when operated at 0.5 MPa. With a 45 mm stroke and a 12 mm diameter piston rod, this model is well-suited for short linear movements in clamping, sorting, and light assembly fixtures where space is limited.
This variant is fitted with NBR (nitrile) seals, offering reliable performance within the standard temperature range of -20 to +70 °C. The cylinder features a PT1/8 port, an M10x1.25 rod thread, and a 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to reduce end-of-stroke impact, ensuring smooth operation in high-cycle applications.

Provides a quick 45 mm push stroke to eject small plastic or metal parts from injection molds or stamping dies, leveraging the 724 N maximum thrust at 0.9 MPa.
Actuates small diverter flaps on conveyor lines to sort lightweight packages, using the compact 32 mm bore body to fit into tight machine frames.
Operates test-tube capping or slide-handling mechanisms in laboratory equipment, where the NBR seals provide consistent low-friction movement for precise positioning.
For applications requiring slightly more force, consider stepping up to the 40 mm bore SC40 series, which provides 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. When replacing an existing unit, ensure a 5-point match: 32 mm bore, 45 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, basic mounting (no factory-fitted bracket), and no built-in magnet. The SC32 is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa (approx. 73 psi), the cylinder generates 402 N pushing out and 345 N pulling in. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 724 N.
No. The SC32 is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length (140 mm body plus stroke) than an equivalent ISO 15552 cylinder. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC32 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, port thread, and mounting.
