The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X90H is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 90mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X90H is a double-acting single-rod tie-rod cylinder equipped with high-temperature Viton (FKM) seals, extending its operating range to 0–150 °C for hot or aggressive environments. With a 32 mm bore and 90 mm stroke, it produces 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 724 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa.
This model features a 12 mm diameter piston rod with M10x1.25 male threads and PT1/8 ports. The adjustable air cushion (21 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at end-of-stroke, while the compact body length A of 140 mm keeps the overall extended length to approximately 230 mm, fitting easily into space-constrained thermal applications.

The Viton seals withstand 150°C, making this cylinder ideal for clamping or ejecting parts in heated laminating or forming presses where standard seals would degrade.
Reliably operates sterilizer door interlocks exposed to steam and high temperatures, maintaining consistent 402 N push force through repeated thermal cycles.
Provides compact, heat-resistant clamping for wave soldering pallets or hot-bar bonding fixtures, with the 90 mm stroke offering sufficient clearance for part loading.
Choose the SC32 bore for light pneumatic tasks needing up to 402 N at 0.5 MPa; if your load exceeds this, step up to the SC40 which provides 628 N at the same pressure. For this 90 mm stroke, rod bending is not a primary concern, but always avoid direct side loads on the rod.
To guarantee a drop-in replacement, match five points: 32 mm bore, 90 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, basic mounting (no bracket), and the absence of a magnet. The Viton seal suffix 'H' is critical for high-temperature compatibility.
Quick checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the push force is 402 N and the pull force on the retract stroke is 345 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 724 N.
No, the SC32X90H is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold position if pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. The piston can 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.
