About the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA32X25
The AirTAC SDA32X25 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 riveted assembly merges the barrel, rear cover, piston, and rod into an exceptionally short axial footprint, conserving valuable machine space where conventional round-body units cannot fit.
This 32 mm bore model features a 12 mm piston rod, PT1/8 air ports, and a hard-anodized inner wall for low-friction cycling. End-of-travel deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning operators should slow the approach or add external shock absorbers for high-energy loads. This specific SKU lacks the internal magnet, so it cannot host magnetic switches without upgrading to the -S option.

Where the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA32X25 Is Used
PCB Router Gantry
Drives the Z-axis plunge on a printed circuit board routing gantry, utilizing the short 25 mm stroke and 402.1 N force to cleanly cut isolation channels.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds minor corrugated carton flaps on a continuous flow wrapper, where the compact riveted body minimizes interference in tight transfer sections.
Is the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA32X25 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, consider stepping down to the SDA25 if your application requires only 245.4 N of push at 0.5 MPa, or moving up to the SDA40 if you need 628.3 N.
Keep in mind that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed bumper only decelerates near the stroke end rather than locking the rod. To secure a suspended load, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Confirm your ordering essentials: 32 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female M6x1.0 rod thread (or male M10x1.25 with the B option), and no magnet.
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 SDA32X25 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore cylinder generates 402.1 N of push force and 345.6 N of pull force. 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. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet. To use AirTAC reed or electronic switches in the body grooves, you must specify the -S option when ordering. Additionally, end-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper, not an adjustable air cushion.
