The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X10B Compact Cylinder | 32mm Bore is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 10mm 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 SDA32X10B is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for tight axial spaces. It delivers 402.1 N of push force and 345.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The riveted body design drastically reduces overall length compared to round-body alternatives, making it optimal for machinery where mounting depth is restricted. This specific SKU features a male M10x1.25 threaded piston rod for direct load coupling.
A hard-anodized 32 mm bore and a two-way piston seal ensure durable performance across a 30-500 mm/s speed range. End-of-travel deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. Note that this non-magnet version cannot host position sensing; adding an -S option enables reed or electronic switch integration via the body grooves.

Short 10 mm stroke shifts a drill spindle guard on an electronics assembly line, utilizing the 402.1 N force within a shallow 32 mm bore footprint.
Actuates a short diverting flap on a packaging conveyor, where the male M10x1.25 rod threads directly into the linkage and the compact body fits between frame rails.
Ejects small aluminum castings from a machining fixture, relying on the fixed NBR bumper to absorb the 30-500 mm/s travel impact.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, compare its 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa against adjacent bores. Stepping down, the SDA25 provides 245.4 N; stepping up, the SDA40 yields 628.3 N. For this 10 mm stroke, the theoretical safe working load is roughly 241 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa figure), translating to a 20.5 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin. Confirm ordering essentials: 32 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, male M10x1.25 rod thread, and no magnet. If the application must hold a load without live pressure, the piston will drift; an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
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 force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa.
No adjustable air cushion exists; it uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate travel. This specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot support reed or electronic switches. You must select the -S variant for position sensing capabilities.
