The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X510 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 510mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X510 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at the 0.9 MPa max operating pressure). Its 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion are sized for light automation tasks, while the 510 mm stroke reaches beyond the standard 1000 mm maximum for this bore, making it a made-to-order item.
With a compact body length A of 140 mm and PT1/8 pneumatic ports, this cylinder suits installations where space is limited but a longer reach is required. The TPU/NBR seals provide reliable operation in standard -20 to +70 °C environments.

Extends a gate or diverter arm 510 mm to direct lightweight components on a conveyor line, using the 21 mm cushion to soften end-of-stroke impact.
Provides a 402 N push force for pressing bushings or pins into light assemblies, with the long stroke reaching across a fixture.
Moves a sample tray or pipette head between stations in a compact bench-top instrument, benefiting from the cylinder's short 140 mm body length.
Choose the SC32 bore for light pushing and clamping where force requirements are modest. If your application needs more thrust, stepping up to the SC40 bore provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. For this 510 mm stroke, the slender 12 mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads—consider an external linear guide or a guided cylinder if the load is not purely axial. When replacing an existing unit, match five points: 32 mm bore, 510 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, basic mounting (no bracket), and the absence of a magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa the SC32 bore delivers 563 N of push force. The pull force at the same pressure is 345 N due to the 12 mm rod reducing the piston area on the retract side.
The SC32X500 is a standard stroke model, while the SC32X510 is a non-standard made-to-order length. They are not directly interchangeable unless your application can tolerate a 10 mm shorter stroke. Verify the extended length difference with your mounting layout.
