The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X525 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 525mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X525 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a 525 mm non-standard stroke, delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. This model uses a 12 mm diameter piston rod with an M10x1.25 rod thread and PT1/8 ports, making it a compact yet capable actuator for light to medium linear motion tasks.
With a body length A of 140 mm, the total extended length reaches approximately 665 mm. The adjustable air cushion (21 mm) decelerates the piston smoothly at each end, protecting end caps from impact. Because the 525 mm stroke exceeds the standard maximum of 1000 mm for this bore, this unit is built to order, ensuring a perfect fit for specialized equipment without compromising the genuine AirTAC tie-rod design.

Operates lightweight diverter gates on packaging lines where a 525 mm reach is needed to push products across a wide conveyor. The 402 N force at 0.5 MPa is sufficient for small cartons and parcels.
Moves a sliding fixture plate in a semi-automatic assembly station. The non-standard stroke allows the tooling to fully retract for operator clearance, while the adjustable cushion ensures gentle part handling.
Adjusts louvers or dampers in agricultural ventilation ducts. The long stroke provides the necessary angular travel, and the tie-rod construction withstands the dusty, humid environment typical of greenhouse operations.
Choose the SC32X525 when your application needs a light-force actuator with an extended reach. The 32 mm bore provides 402 N at 0.5 MPa; if you require more force, stepping up to the SC40 bore delivers 628 N at the same pressure. For strokes over 300 mm, always evaluate side-load conditions—a 12 mm rod at this extension can bend under lateral stress. Use an external guide or a guided cylinder to protect the rod bearing.
To guarantee a drop-in replacement, match five key points: bore (32 mm), stroke (525 mm), port thread (PT1/8), mounting accessory (basic, no bracket), and the presence of a magnet (none on this model). This ensures the new cylinder fits existing plumbing, brackets, and sensor setups without modification.
Quick checklist
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, this cylinder produces 402 N pushing and 345 N pulling. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the pushing force increases to 724 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
No. The 525 mm stroke is a non-standard length for the 32 mm bore. It is a made-to-order item. For a standard alternative, consider the SC32X500, which is part of the regular production program and can be stocked.
