Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA32X50
The AirTAC Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA32X50 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 50mm 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 SDA32X50
The AirTAC SDA32X50 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 joins the barrel, rear cover, piston, and rod into a highly shortened unit, drastically reducing axial mounting depth compared to conventional round-body designs. The 12 mm piston rod utilizes a female M6x1.0 thread, while the body features a PT1/8 port.
This model relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke end rather than an adjustable air cushion. Because this specific SKU lacks the S option, it has no piston magnet and cannot accept AirTAC reed or electronic switches. Operating speeds span 30-500 mm/s within a 0.15-1.0 MPa pressure range.

Where the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA32X50 Is Used
CNC Fixture Clamping
Secures aluminum workpieces inside CNC machining centers, utilizing the 402.1 N extend force to hold parts firmly against cutting forces without requiring deep axial mounting.
Carton Flap Folding
Deploys a 50 mm stroke to fold corrugated cardboard flaps on automated packaging lines, where the fixed NBR bumper absorbs the impact at the end of the movement.
Sorter Diverter Gate
Actuates routing gates on parcel conveyor systems, providing rapid 30-500 mm/s actuation to redirect packages while maintaining a minimal machine footprint.
Is the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA32X50 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, consider stepping down to the SDA25 for 245.4 N of push at 0.5 MPa, or moving up to the SDA40 if your application requires 628.3 N. The 32 mm bore with a 50 mm stroke provides a safe working load of roughly 241 N, which translates to a vertical lift capacity of about 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Be aware that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only slows the piston near the end of travel and does not function as a locking brake. For suspended loads, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Confirm ordering essentials: 32 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female rod thread, and no sensor 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 SDA32X50 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa this cylinder provides 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 563 N push and 483.8 N pull. The theoretical maximum push force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include the S option, meaning it lacks a piston magnet and cannot be used with AirTAC reed or electronic switches. You must select the SDA32X50S variant if position sensing is required.
