The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X5 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 5mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X5 is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, ideal for short-stroke clamping and ejection tasks. Its 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable deceleration even in rapid cycling.
With a body length of just 140 mm plus the 5 mm stroke, this cylinder fits tight spaces where a standard ISO 15552 profile would be too long. The PT1/8 port and M10x1.25 rod thread make pneumatic connections straightforward.

The 5 mm stroke and 402 N force at 0.5 MPa make it perfect for precision workpiece clamping in CNC fixtures and assembly jigs.
Rapidly ejects small plastic or metal parts from injection molds and stamping dies with consistent, repeatable motion.
Operates small diverter gates on packaging conveyors where a short, firm push is needed to redirect lightweight products.
For applications needing more force, step up to the SC40 bore which provides 628 N push at 0.5 MPa. When replacing an existing unit, match bore, stroke, PT port thread, and ensure the mounting style is identical—this model has a basic (no bracket) configuration. The short 5 mm stroke keeps the rod well-supported inside the bearing, so side-load concerns are minimal here.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 345 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 724 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder that is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It should only replace another AirTAC SC32 cylinder with matching bore, stroke, and port thread.
