About the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X50
The SC32X50 is a compact double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (563 N at 0.7 MPa). Its 50 mm stroke and 12 mm diameter piston rod make it a precise actuator for light clamping, sorting, and ejection tasks where space is limited.
With a body length of 140 mm plus the 50 mm stroke, this tie-rod cylinder fits into tight machine envelopes. The adjustable air cushion (21 mm length) decelerates the piston quietly, and the PT1/8 port thread connects easily to standard pneumatic fittings.

Where the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X50 Is Used
Small-Part Clamping
The 402 N force at 0.5 MPa is ideal for fixturing and clamping small components during light assembly or laser marking processes.
Diverter Gates
Quick 50 mm stroke actuates miniature diverter gates on conveyor lines, sorting small packages or electronics components reliably.
Label Pressing
Applies consistent, controlled pressure for label application or hot-stamp foiling, where the compact 140 mm body length eases machine integration.
Is the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X50 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC32X50 when your load requires up to 402 N of push force at standard plant pressure. If you need more force, step up to the SC40 bore, which provides 628 N at the same 0.5 MPa. For strokes of 300 mm or longer on a 12 mm rod, consider an external guide to prevent rod bearing side-load wear.
To ensure a drop-in replacement, match five points: 32 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic mounting (no brackets), and confirm the magnet option (this model has no built-in magnet).
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X50 FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC32X50 double-acting cylinder produces 563 N of push force and 483 N of pull force on the retract stroke.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 mounts. Only replace with another AirTAC SC32 tie-rod cylinder of the same stroke and port type.
