The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X50SH is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 50mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X50SH is a compact double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, ideal for light-duty clamping and sorting tasks. Its 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth end-of-stroke deceleration in a short 50 mm stroke package.
This model is factory-equipped with a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, enabling precise position feedback without external brackets. The -H suffix designates Viton (FKM) seals, extending the operating temperature range to 0–150 °C for hot-environment applications.

Related variants: SCD (double rod), SCJ (adjustable stroke), SCT (multi-position). Seals: TPU standard / H = Viton / N = NBR. Thread: blank = PT, G = G thread.
Viton seals allow this cylinder to operate reliably in autoclaves, sterilizers, and drying ovens up to 150 °C, where standard seals would degrade.
The built-in magnet pairs with CMSG/DMSG sensors to confirm end-of-stroke position in high-speed parts ejection and sorting gates.
With a 50 mm stroke and 402 N push force, it is sized for small conveyor stops and diverters in packaging lines.
Choose the SC32 bore for compact, low-force actuation up to 724 N at 0.9 MPa. If your load exceeds this, step up to the SC40 bore, which provides 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. For strokes longer than 300 mm on this 12 mm rod, consider an external guide to prevent rod bearing side-load wear.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: bore (32 mm), stroke (50 mm), PT1/8 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility, and the Viton seal material for high-temperature operation.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 345 N. The maximum push force at the 0.9 MPa operating limit is 724 N.
Yes. The -H suffix specifies Viton (FKM) seals, rated for continuous operation from 0 to 150 °C. Standard TPU seals are limited to -20 to +70 °C.
