About the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X50N
The SC32X50N is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 50 mm stroke, fitted with NBR (nitrile) seals. At 0.5 MPa air pressure it generates 402 N pushing force and 345 N pulling force, making it suitable for light sorting, clamping, and ejector tasks.
This model uses a 12 mm diameter piston rod with an M10x1.25 rod thread and PT1/8 ports. The adjustable air cushion (21 mm length) decelerates the piston quietly at end-of-stroke. Body length A is 140 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 190 mm.

Where the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X50N Is Used
Small-Part Sorting Gates
The 50 mm stroke and 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably actuate diverter gates on conveyor lines handling lightweight components.
Assembly Clamping
Ideal for low-force clamping fixtures in electronics or medical-device assembly, where the NBR seals provide consistent low-friction cycling.
Ejector Mechanisms
Delivers a crisp 50 mm ejection stroke for small plastic parts, with adjustable cushioning to reduce impact noise at the end of travel.
Is the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X50N the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC32 bore for light-duty applications up to 724 N (at 0.9 MPa). If your load requires more force, step up to the SC40 bore, which delivers 628 N push at 0.5 MPa. For strokes over 200 mm on this 12 mm rod, check side-load alignment carefully.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 32 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, basic (no bracket) mounting, and the NBR seal material. The SC is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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 SC32X50N FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the cylinder produces 402 N extending (push) and 345 N retracting (pull). At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 724 N.
No. The SC32X50N is a double-acting cylinder and does not hold position when air is exhausted or pressure is lost. For load-holding without live pressure, you must add an external rod brake or a pilot-operated check valve.
