The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X100 Compact Cylinder | 32mm Bore is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 100mm 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.
The AirTAC SDA32X100 is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered to deliver a push force of 402.1 N and a pull force of 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa. Featuring a 32 mm bore and a 100 mm stroke, this unit operates efficiently between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa within a 30-500 mm/s speed range. The hard-anodized bore and two-way piston seal ensure reliable service life in demanding pneumatic setups.
Designed with a short riveted body that integrates the barrel, rear cover, piston, and rod, this model significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to traditional round-body cylinders. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning external shock absorbers should be specified for high-energy cycles. This particular SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot support position sensing without upgrading to the -S variant.

Pushes corrugated cartons onto secondary sorting lines in logistics hubs, utilizing the 402.1 N extend force to overcome side friction at 30-500 mm/s.
Deploys 100 mm to position cardboard edge protectors at pallet corners before stretch wrapping, saving axial machine space with its compact riveted body.
Maintains consistent yarn tension on weaving equipment, where the fixed NBR bumper safely absorbs the repetitive end-of-stroke impact without adjustable cushions.
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force margins carefully. Stepping down to the SDA25 provides 245.4 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to the SDA40 increases that output to 628.3 N. For the SDA32X100 specifically, the safe working load is approximately 241 N (about 60% of the 402.1 N figure), translating to a vertical lift capacity of roughly 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Keep in mind that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required to hold a load securely. To order, confirm the 32 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female M6x1.0 rod thread, and the absence of a magnet.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder generates a push force of 402.1 N and a pull force of 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 563 N. The theoretical maximum push is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates on filtered air between 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and functions in temperatures from -20 to +70 C.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet, so it cannot trigger AirTAC reed or electronic switches. You would need to specify the -S option to add a magnet for sensing. Additionally, end damping relies solely on a fixed NBR bumper, which is not an adjustable air cushion, so external shock absorbers are recommended for high-speed applications.
