Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA32X30
The AirTAC Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA32X30 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 30mm 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 SDA32X30
The AirTAC SDA32X30 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 unites the barrel, rear cover, piston, and rod into a highly shortened unit, drastically reducing axial mounting depth compared to conventional round-body designs. The 32 mm bore features a hard-anodized inner wall and a two-way piston seal for prolonged service life.
This specific configuration moves a 30 mm stroke via a 12 mm piston rod and PT1/8 air ports. End-stop energy is managed solely by a fixed NBR bumper, which decelerates the piston near stroke completion rather than acting as a lock. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot host AirTAC reed or electronic switches for position sensing.

Where the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA32X30 Is Used
PCB Drill Press Indexing
Provides the 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa required to index PCB panels in a drill press, saving valuable Z-axis height with its 30 mm stroke.
Carton Flap Folding
Drives a 12 mm rod to fold corrugated carton flaps on a packaging line, where the fixed NBR bumper effectively absorbs the 30 mm stroke impact.
Lathe Tailstock Ejection
Ejects small machined components from a lathe tailstock, utilizing the compact riveted body to fit within tight machinery footprints.
Is the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA32X30 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, consider stepping down to the SDA25, which provides 245.4 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, or moving up to the SDA40, which yields 628.3 N at the same pressure. For the SDA32X30, the computed safe working load is roughly 241 N (about 60% of the 402.1 N figure), allowing a vertical lift of approximately 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. To finalize your order, confirm the 32 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female M6x1.0 rod-end thread, and the absence of a sensor magnet.
Keep in mind that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the stroke end; it does not function as a braking mechanism. If your application must hold a load without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into the pneumatic circuit.
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 SDA32X30 FAQ
The SDA32X30 generates 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa and a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet option, so it cannot host AirTAC reed or electronic switches. The body does feature sensor grooves, but you must order the -S variant to enable position sensing capabilities.
