About the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X500SH
The SC32X500SH is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, suitable for moderate-speed automation tasks. This 32 mm bore model features a 12 mm piston rod with M10x1.25 male threads and an adjustable air cushion of 21 mm to decelerate the load smoothly.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S suffix) and high-temperature Viton seals (-H suffix), this cylinder operates reliably from 0 to +150 °C, making it ideal for hot environments where standard seals would degrade. The 500 mm stroke is the maximum standard length for the 32 mm bore, providing a total extended body length of 640 mm.

Where the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X500SH Is Used
High-Temperature Actuation
With Viton seals rated to 150°C, this cylinder is suited for hot stamping, autoclave door actuation, or positioning near industrial ovens where standard seals fail.
Sensor-Monitored Assembly
The built-in magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG sensors on the tie-rod barrel, enabling precise end-of-stroke detection for pick-and-place or sorting mechanisms.
Light Material Handling
Generating 724 N of thrust at 0.9 MPa, it efficiently diverts or stops lightweight packages on conveyor lines, with the 500 mm stroke covering wide belt sections.
Is the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X500SH the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC32 bore for light push/pull tasks up to 724 N at 0.9 MPa. If your application requires more force, step up to the SC40 bore, which provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. For this 500 mm stroke, ensure the load is guided externally to prevent bending stress on the 12 mm rod, as long unsupported strokes are susceptible to side-load damage.
To guarantee a direct replacement, match five key points: 32 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility, and the Viton seal material for high-temperature operation.

- ✓ 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 SC32X500SH FAQ
At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, this cylinder provides a push force of 724 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf, though the recommended working range is 0.15-1.0 MPa.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is a direct dimensional match only for another AirTAC SC32 tie-rod cylinder with identical bore, stroke, PT port, magnet option, and Viton seals.
