About the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X50TC
The SC32X50TC is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 50 mm stroke, delivering a push force of 402 N at 0.5 MPa (up to 724 N at 0.9 MPa). This model includes a centre trunnion mount (TC) with the TCM1 bracket, allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation.
Built with a 12 mm diameter piston rod and M10x1.25 rod thread, it features an adjustable air cushion (21 mm length) to decelerate the piston smoothly at end of stroke. The body length A is 140 mm, and the PT1/8 port thread is standard.

Where the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X50TC Is Used
Small Part Sorting Gates
The 50 mm stroke and trunnion mount allow the cylinder to pivot a sorting gate on a conveyor line, directing lightweight packages with the 402 N push force at standard line pressure.
Fixture Clamping
Ideal for clamping small components in a machining fixture. The adjustable cushion reduces impact at the end of the 50 mm stroke, protecting the workpiece and tooling.
Linkage Actuation
The centre trunnion mount enables the cylinder to follow an arc in a mechanical linkage, providing a clean 50 mm linear input to a rotating arm or lever mechanism.
Is the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X50TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC32X50TC when your application requires a pivoting cylinder body. The centre trunnion (TC) mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC32TC), allows the cylinder to swing, absorbing misalignment. For higher force, step up to the SC40 bore (628 N push at 0.5 MPa).
When replacing, match these five points: 32 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, centre trunnion mounting (TC), and the absence of a magnet. This cylinder is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile and is not dimensionally interchangeable with that standard.
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 SC32X50TC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 345 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 724 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
No. The SC32X50TC is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold position if pressure is exhausted or the valve is centered. The piston will drift or drop. For load holding without live pressure, you must add an external rod brake or a pilot-operated check valve.
