About the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X50CA
The AirTAC SC32X50CA is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at 0.9 MPa). With a compact 50 mm stroke and a 12 mm diameter piston rod, it is well-suited for short linear movements in clamping, sorting, and light assembly fixtures.
This model features a rear single clevis (CA) mount, part F-SC32CA, allowing the cylinder body to pivot during operation. The adjustable air cushion (21 mm) decelerates the piston smoothly at end-of-stroke, reducing impact noise and vibration in high-cycle applications. Ports are PT1/8 with an M10x1.25 rod thread.

Where the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X50CA Is Used
Small-Part Sorting Gates
The 50 mm stroke and rear clevis mount allow the cylinder to pivot a diverter gate on a conveyor line, directing lightweight components into separate lanes at up to 800 mm/s.
Clamping & Holding Fixtures
Delivers 402 N at 0.5 MPa for secure workpiece clamping in CNC drilling or welding jigs. The adjustable cushion prevents part marking from hard end-of-stroke impact.
Lab Automation Actuation
Compact 32 mm bore and short stroke fit benchtop liquid handlers and test equipment. The pivoting CA mount simplifies linkage to rotating carousels or flip mechanisms.
Is the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X50CA the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC32 bore for light-duty tasks up to 724 N. If your load exceeds this, step up to the SC40 (628 N at 0.5 MPa) for a meaningful force increase without a large footprint jump. The 50 mm stroke is standard for this bore, keeping lead times short.
For replacement, match five points: 32 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, PT1/8 ports, CA rear clevis mounting, and no magnet. This ensures dimensional and performance interchangeability with an existing AirTAC SC32X50CA cylinder.
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 SC32X50CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder pushes with 402 N and pulls with 345 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force rises to 724 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter overall body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 mounts. Replace only with another AirTAC SC32 cylinder matching the 50 mm stroke, CA clevis, and PT ports.
