The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X52 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 52mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X52 is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion make it a reliable workhorse for light automation tasks requiring a 52 mm stroke.
With a body length A of 140 mm, the total extended length is approximately 192 mm. The PT1/8 ports and M10x1.25 rod thread provide standard connectivity, while the TPU seals offer a -20 to +70 °C operating range.

The 52 mm stroke and 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa are ideal for ejecting small plastic or metal components from injection molds or pick-and-place nests.
Actuate diverter gates on compact conveyor systems. The adjustable cushion ensures quiet, low-impact operation at the end of the 52 mm travel.
Apply consistent clamping force for test tubes or vials in medical device assembly. The filtered air operation suits clean, light-duty environments.
For applications needing more force, step up to the SC40 series which provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. If a shorter, lighter cylinder is acceptable, the SC32 in a 25 or 50 mm standard stroke may offer a more economical solution. Always ensure the 12 mm rod is adequately supported if side loads are present.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: 32 mm bore, 52 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, basic (no bracket) mounting, and the absence of a built-in magnet. This is not an ISO 15552 cylinder; it is a direct replacement for another AirTAC SC32 tie-rod cylinder.
Quick checklist
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 AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length than an ISO 15552 cylinder. It is dimensionally interchangeable only with another AirTAC SC32 tie-rod cylinder of the same bore and stroke.
