The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X100B 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 SDA32X100B 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 significantly reduces axial mounting depth, making it highly effective for machinery where a standard round-body unit would protrude too far. This specific SKU is configured with a male M10x1.25 piston rod thread for direct load coupling.
Because this model lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot host AirTAC reed or electronic switches. Deceleration at the stroke extremes relies solely on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. Operating speeds span 30-500 mm/s, and the 100 mm stroke approaches the upper limit for this 32 mm bore, meaning longer movements would require a guided cylinder to prevent rod deflection.

Actuates a routing flap on a logistics sorting line, utilizing the 100 mm stroke to push parcels cleanly between adjacent conveyor belts.
Drives the mechanical arms that tuck minor flaps on a case erector, fitting easily within the tight axial footprint of the packaging machine.
Lowers an array of test probes onto a circuit board, applying a controlled 402.1 N extend force to ensure reliable electrical contact without damaging the substrate.
Selecting this 32 mm bore provides a safe working load of roughly 241 N, calculated at approximately 60% of the 402.1 N push force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the SDA25 yields 245.4 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDA40 provides 628.3 N. Keep in mind that a plain SDA cylinder will drift and cannot hold a vertical load when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; maintaining position requires an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. When ordering, confirm the 100 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, the absence of a sensor magnet, and the male M10x1.25 rod thread.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402.1 N and the pull force is 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 563 N and pull is 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum push is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
No, this model uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, which is not an adjustable air cushion. Additionally, because it lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot support reed or electronic switches. You would need the -S variant for position sensing.
