The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X100H 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 SDA32X100H is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder featuring a 32 mm bore and 100 mm stroke. It generates 402.1 N of push force and 345.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. This H-suffix variant utilizes a fluororubber (FKM) seal for enhanced thermal and oil resistance compared to standard NBR. The hard-anodized bore and two-way piston seal ensure durable, low-friction operation.
Its short riveted body significantly reduces axial mounting depth where a conventional round-body unit would not fit. End-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning external shock absorbers are recommended for high-energy approaches. Because this specific SKU lacks the S option, it has no piston magnet and cannot support magnetic sensing.

Clamps aluminum workpieces in CNC machining centers, utilizing the 402.1 N extend force and FKM seals to withstand sprayed cutting coolant.
Folds corrugated cardboard flaps on automated packaging lines, where the 100 mm stroke provides the exact reach needed without excessive footprint.
Actuates routing gates on conveyor systems to sort pallets, relying on the short riveted body to fit within tight transfer frame clearances.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, consider stepping down to the SDA25 for lighter loads, which provides 245.4 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, or stepping up to the SDA40 for heavier tasks, offering 628.3 N at the same pressure. For the SDA32X100H, the computed 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. Ensure your ordering essentials match: 32 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female M6x1.0 rod thread, and FKM seals. Note that a plain compact cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end and does not act as a lock. To hold a load securely without live pressure, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder generates 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 563 N push at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet, so it cannot support reed or electronic switches. You must select the SDA32X100HS variant to enable magnetic sensing. Additionally, end stopping is handled by a fixed NBR bumper, not an adjustable air cushion.
