Genuine AirTAC slide cylinder, order code STWB32X50S from the STW range. The options this code selects are decoded below; series data follow the official AirTAC catalog.
STWB32X50S puts 50 mm of travel on the Ø32 body-fixed STW slide cylinder, the mid step of the stroke ladder on this bore. The twin-rod construction resists bending and twisting, so the slide can carry larger moving and side loads over its full 50 mm sweep, and both the slide and the body are available for mounting in your fixture. Hydraulic shock absorbers slow the load at each end of the stroke, protecting the machine and extending cylinder life.
At 0.5 MPa the theoretical force is 490.1 N. Piping is PT1/8 on Ø32, with three sets of ports so you can route air from whichever face suits the layout, and the S option means a magnet is built in for position sensing.

On the Ø32 body-fixed line, STWB32X50S doubles the 25 mm travel of STWB32X25S and halves the 75 mm of STWB32X75S; the same bore continues in 25 mm steps to 200 mm, so check your fixture envelope before committing. If you mount through the end plate rather than the body, choose STWA32X50S instead. To compare force, Ø32 gives 490.1 N at 0.5 MPa against 289.8 N on Ø25 and 201.1 N on Ø20.
Mount the body in a machining or assembly cell and let the 50 mm slide carry a part from one nest to the next; the twin rods keep the load from rotating more than ±0.03 degrees.
Use the 50 mm stroke to push cartons or blisters onto a crossover conveyor, with hydraulic cushioning absorbing the impact at both ends of every cycle.
Body-fix the cylinder under a small lift table for a 50 mm raise-and-lower step; the built-in magnet lets sensors report up and down positions to the controller.
Body-fixed STW slide cylinder, Ø32 mm bore, 50 mm stroke. Theoretical force 490.1 N at 0.5 MPa, port PT1/8, operating pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa, proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, anti-rotation ±0.03 degrees, stroke tolerance +1.0 / 0 mm, built-in magnet.
Ø32 strokes run from 25 mm to 200 mm in 25 mm steps, so STWB32X50S is the middle of the ladder: STWB32X25S for the shortest sweep, STWB32X75S and above for longer travel. The 50 mm version keeps the same 490.1 N force at 0.5 MPa and PT1/8 porting; only the travel changes.
