About the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X590
The AirTAC SC32X590 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a non-standard 590 mm stroke, exceeding the standard 1000 mm maximum for this bore size. It delivers a push force of 402 N at 0.5 MPa and 724 N at 0.9 MPa, driven by a 12 mm diameter piston rod with an M10x1.25 rod thread.
This model features a 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly. The body length A is 140 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 730 mm. It uses PT1/8 ports and operates on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa across a temperature range of -20 to +70 °C with its standard TPU seals.

Where the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X590 Is Used
Long-Reach Part Transfer
The 590 mm stroke extends across wide conveyor gaps to push or lift small components in packaging and assembly lines, where the 32 mm bore's compact body fits tight machine frames.
Automated Sorting Gates
Operates diverter gates on narrow material handling chutes. The 724 N force at 0.9 MPa is well-suited for lightweight product sorting with a fast 30-800 mm/s speed range.
Tensioning & Clamping
Applies consistent tension to belts or chains over a long travel distance. The adjustable cushion protects the mechanism from shock at the stroke ends during high-cycle operation.
Is the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X590 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC32X590 when your application needs a compact 32 mm bore with an extended reach. If the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa is insufficient, stepping up to the SC40 bore provides 628 N at the same pressure. For strokes of this length, ensure the 12 mm rod is protected from side loads; an external guide or a guided cylinder is recommended to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
To replace an existing unit, match five key points: the 32 mm bore, the 590 mm stroke, the PT1/8 port thread, the basic (no bracket) mounting, and the absence of a magnet. This is a genuine AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder, which is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile and not dimensionally interchangeable with it.
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 SC32X590 FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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 increases to 724 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
No. The SC32X590 is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The piston will drift or drop. For load holding without live pressure, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve.
