The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X580 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 580mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X580 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, combining a 32 mm bore with an extended 580 mm stroke. This configuration generates a theoretical push force of 402 N when supplied with 0.5 MPa air pressure, scaling up to 724 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa.
Built with a 12 mm diameter piston rod and M10x1.25 rod thread, the cylinder body length (A) measures 140 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 720 mm. The 580 mm stroke exceeds the standard maximum of 1000 mm for this bore, marking it as a non-standard, made-to-order length. It features adjustable pneumatic cushioning over a 21 mm distance to decelerate the piston quietly at end-of-travel.

The 580 mm stroke and 32 mm compact body suit narrow conveyor lanes, where the cylinder extends a gate or diverter arm to sort lightweight packages by destination.
Delivers a steady 402 N at 0.5 MPa for maintaining belt or chain tension in packaging and textile machinery, with the long stroke providing generous take-up adjustment.
The clean, oil-free air operation and adjustable cushioning make this cylinder suitable for linear sampling mechanisms in diagnostic or analytical equipment.
For applications requiring slightly more force, stepping up to the 40 mm bore SC40 series provides 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa. If space is a constraint but the 402 N force level is sufficient, this 32 mm bore is the most compact option in the SC range. Always match replacement cylinders on all five critical points: bore (32 mm), stroke (580 mm), PT1/8 port thread, basic (no) mounting accessory, and the absence of a magnet.
At a 580 mm stroke, the 12 mm rod is relatively slender. Any side loading, even minor, can cause rod deflection and accelerated bearing wear. For applications where the load is not guided externally, consider adding an external guide rail or switching to a guided cylinder unit to protect the rod and seals from bending moments.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa supply pressure, the SC32X580 double-acting cylinder produces a theoretical push force of 563 N. The pull force on the retract stroke is 345 N at 0.5 MPa due to the area reduction from the 12 mm piston rod.
It is not recommended. The SC32X580 has a 12 mm diameter rod extending 580 mm. Without external guidance, even small side loads can bend the rod or damage the piston bearing. Always use an external guide rail or ensure the load is perfectly axially aligned and supported.
