The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X100BH 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 SDA32X100BH is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered with a 32 mm bore and 100 mm stroke. It delivers a push force of 402.1 N and pull force of 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, operating at speeds between 30-500 mm/s. The short riveted body significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body units, saving valuable machine footprint. This specific SKU features fluororubber (FKM) seals for enhanced thermal and oil resistance, and a male M10x1.25 piston rod end for direct load coupling.
This model uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke end, which is not an adjustable air cushion. Because it lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept magnetic reed or electronic switches. For high kinetic energy at the end of travel, consider adding an external shock absorber. The hard-anodized bore and two-way piston seal ensure durable, long-life operation within the 0.15-1.0 MPa pressure range.

Ejects finished aluminum machined parts from a fixture using the male M10x1.25 rod thread, utilizing the 402.1 N extend force to overcome residual coolant friction.
Applies precise downward pressure on corrugated carton flaps in a high-temperature packaging line, where the FKM seals withstand heat and adhesive exposure.
Pushes parcels laterally on a logistics conveyor at 100 mm stroke, saving axial depth with its riveted body while handling a 20.5 kg vertical equivalent load.
When sizing this 32 mm bore unit, 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 0.5 MPa. The computed safe working load for this model is approximately 241 N (about 60% of the 402.1 N figure at 0.5 MPa), translating to a vertical lift capacity of roughly 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 32 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, male M10x1.25 rod thread, and FKM seals. Note that a plain compact cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the piston will drift and the fixed bumper only decelerates near the stroke end. To maintain position, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder delivers 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 force is 563 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, meaning it has no piston magnet and cannot trigger AirTAC reed or electronic switches. You would need the SDA32X100BHS variant for sensing capabilities. Additionally, it uses fixed NBR bumpers rather than adjustable cushions, so external shock absorbers are recommended for high-speed operations.
