The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X100SBH 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 SDA32X100SBH is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered for tight axial mounting spaces. Utilizing a riveted body assembly, it drastically reduces overall length compared to conventional round-body units. At 32 mm bore, it generates 402.1 N of push force and 345.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. This specific configuration includes a 100 mm stroke, a built-in piston magnet for position sensing, and fluororubber (FKM) seals for enhanced thermal and oil resistance.
This model features a male M10x1.25 threaded piston rod end, providing a robust mechanical coupling for your load. The hard-anodized bore operates at speeds between 30-500 mm/s. Instead of an adjustable air cushion, the cylinder relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston near stroke limits. For high-energy cycles, operators should incorporate an external shock absorber to mitigate impact wear.

Secures aluminum workpieces in CNC machining centers. The FKM seals withstand elevated ambient temperatures and coolant exposure, while the male M10x1.25 rod threads directly into the custom jaw mechanism.
Drives the side flap folding arms on high-speed corrugated box erecting lines. The 100 mm stroke provides the precise reach needed, and the integrated magnet triggers reed or electronic switches to verify flap position.
Actuates routing gates on modular package conveyors. The short riveted body saves valuable axial depth within the conveyor frame, preventing interference with adjacent transfer belts.
When sizing this 32 mm bore actuator, consider stepping down to the SDA25 if your application requires less force, which provides 245.4 N of push at 0.5 MPa. Conversely, if your load demands more power, the SDA40 offers 628.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa. For the SDA32X100SBH specifically, 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.
Because a standard double-acting cylinder does not hold its position upon air loss or valve centering, the piston will drift; the fixed bumper only decelerates near the stroke end and acts as neither a lock nor a brake. If your machinery requires suspended load holding, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Confirm your ordering essentials: 32 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, S magnet, B male rod, and H FKM seals.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder provides 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. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
It uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston, which is not a field-adjustable air cushion; for high-speed operations, add an external shock absorber. The built-in magnet (-S) works with AirTAC reed or electronic switches mounted in the body grooves, and the male M10x1.25 rod (-B) provides a solid load connection.
