The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X650SH is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 650mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X650SH is a 32 mm bore double-acting pneumatic cylinder with an extended 650 mm stroke, built on the compact AirTAC SC tie-rod platform. At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure it generates 402 N pushing force and 345 N pulling force, rising to a robust 724 N push at the maximum 0.9 MPa. The 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion work together to manage end-of-stroke deceleration across the full travel.
This model includes the -S magnet option, embedding a magnetic ring on the piston so CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors can be clamped directly onto the barrel for non-contact position sensing. The -H suffix upgrades the seal material to Viton (FKM), shifting the operating temperature range from the standard -20 to +70 °C up to 0 to +150 °C, making it suitable for hot environments, drying equipment, or processes where standard TPU would degrade.

The Viton seals and 0-150°C rating allow this cylinder to operate hot air gates, oven diverters, or drying line diverters where ambient temperatures exceed 70°C, maintaining 402 N of force at standard pressure.
With the built-in magnet, CMSG sensors confirm full extension and retraction at every cycle. Ideal for automated assembly cells ejecting small components, where the 650 mm stroke reaches across a conveyor or fixture.
The FKM seal material withstands steam and aggressive cleaning agents better than standard TPU. Use this cylinder to open and close autoclave doors or move racks in sterilisation equipment, leveraging the 724 N peak push force.
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the 40 mm bore SC40 series provides 628 N push at 0.5 MPa, a 56% increase over this 32 mm model. With a 650 mm stroke, the slender 12 mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads; for horizontal or angled installations, consider an external linear guide or a guided cylinder to protect the rod bearing and ensure reliable cycling. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 32 mm bore, 650 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the Viton seal material (-H) for high-temperature compatibility.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa (7 bar) operating pressure, the 32 mm bore SC cylinder generates 563 N of pushing force on the piston rod. The pulling force at the same pressure is 483 N, accounting for the 12 mm rod area. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 724 N.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter overall body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder of the same bore and stroke, so mounting dimensions and end-cap profiles differ. It is a direct form-fit replacement only for another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder matching the 32 mm bore, 650 mm stroke, PT ports, magnet option, and Viton seals.
