Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA32X15
The AirTAC SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA32X15 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 15mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and a riveted short body that saves mounting depth. Sensor slots around the body accept magnetic switches for position sensing.

About the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA32X15
The AirTAC SDA32X15 is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered to deliver 402.1 N of push force and 345.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Its hard-anodized 32 mm bore and two-way piston seal ensure reliable operation within a 0.15-1.0 MPa pressure range. Operating speeds of 30-500 mm/s are attainable across the 15 mm travel distance.
Designed with a short riveted body, this unit minimizes axial mounting depth where a standard round-body unit would not fit. The piston rod measures 12 mm and terminates in a standard female M6x1.0 thread. End-stopping relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning high-energy cycles may require an external shock absorber to prevent impact damage.

Where the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA32X15 Is Used
PCB Router Clamping
Secures printed circuit board panels during routing operations. The 402.1 N extend force holds the substrate firmly against the machining bed without deflecting the 12 mm rod.
Carton Flap Folding
Drives the short mechanical arm that tucks minor flaps on case erectors. The 15 mm stroke retracts quickly within the 30-500 mm/s speed band to maintain high packaging throughput.
Stamping Pin Ejection
Ejects small stamped metal pins from progressive dies. The fixed NBR bumper absorbs the internal end-stop impact, protecting the die set during rapid ejection cycles.
Is the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA32X15 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore actuator, evaluate your force requirements carefully. If you need less thrust, stepping down to the SDA25 provides 245.4 N of push at 0.5 MPa. Conversely, scaling up to the SDA40 yields 628.3 N at the same pressure.
Ensure you specify the PT1/8 port, the 15 mm stroke, and the female rod end when ordering. Note that this base configuration lacks a piston magnet, so position sensing is not possible without the -S option. Furthermore, a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; if your application demands strict load holding, integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Short-body depth vs. a round-body cylinder
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT)
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Female (blank) or male (B) rod thread
- ✓ Side load — avoid on a compact rod
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 short piston rod.
- check Very long strokes are unsuitable for the compact body.
- check Front/rear covers are riveted — do not dismantle.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA32X15 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402.1 N and the pull force is 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 563 N and pull to 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum push is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa, which is the maximum operating pressure.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet. To use AirTAC reed or electronic switches in the body grooves, you must order the SDA32X15S variant with the built-in magnet option.
