About the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X500SLB
The SC32X500SLB is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, rising to 724 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 500 mm stroke and a 12 mm diameter piston rod, this model is configured with a built-in magnet (-S suffix) and an LB foot mount for secure surface installation.
This tie-rod cylinder has a compact body length of 140 mm (A dimension) and a 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly. The standard PT1/8 port and M10x1.25 rod thread ensure straightforward pneumatic connections, while the magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors for position feedback.

Where the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X500SLB Is Used
Small Part Sorting
The 500 mm stroke and magnetic piston sensing make this cylinder ideal for pushing or diverting lightweight packages on conveyor lines, providing reliable end-of-stroke confirmation.
Assembly Fixture Actuation
Delivers 724 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding components in jigs and fixtures, with the LB foot mount providing a stable, bolted-down foundation.
Labeling & Marking Systems
The compact tie-rod body and long 500 mm reach suit label applicators, where the adjustable cushion protects the mechanism and the magnet sensor confirms each cycle.
Is the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X500SLB the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, consider stepping up to the 40 mm bore SC40 series, which provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. For a precise drop-in replacement, match five key points: 32 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, PT port thread, the LB foot mounting accessory (part F-SC32LB), and the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility. At this 500 mm stroke, ensure the load is guided externally if any side forces are present, as the 12 mm rod can be subjected to bending moments.
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 SC32X500SLB FAQ
The theoretical push force at 0.5 MPa 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. These values are based on the 32 mm bore and 12 mm rod diameter.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC32 cylinder with matching stroke, PT ports, LB foot mount, and magnet option.
