The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X10BH 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 SDA32X10BH is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for minimal axial mounting depth. By utilizing a riveted body that integrates the barrel, rear cover, piston, and rod, it achieves an exceptionally short overall length where a conventional round-body unit would not fit. It delivers a push force of 402.1 N and a pull force of 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa.
This specific configuration includes a male M10x1.25 threaded piston rod for direct load coupling and an FKM (fluororubber) seal variant for enhanced thermal and oil resistance. The 32 mm bore features a hard-anodized inner wall and uses a PT1/8 port. End-of-travel deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper at each end, which is not an adjustable air cushion.

Provides precise 10 mm lateral positioning of printed circuit boards on a conveyor line, utilizing the 402.1 N push force to square panels before optical inspection.
Drives a short mechanical arm to fold minor flaps on packaging lines, where the male M10 rod end securely threads into the linkage and FKM seals withstand lubricated environments.
Ejects small machined aluminum parts from a CNC fixture, taking advantage of the minimal axial footprint to fit within tight machine guarding.
When sizing this 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 the same pressure. For the SDA32X10BH, a safe working load is approximately 241 N (about 60 percent of the 402.1 N figure), translating to a vertical lift capacity of roughly 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 32 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, male M10x1.25 rod thread, FKM seals, and no piston magnet. Note that a plain compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke end and does not function as a locking brake. To hold a load securely without live pressure, 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, the push force is 563 N and the pull force is 483.8 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 does not have a piston magnet and cannot take a magnetic switch. To use AirTAC reed or electronic switches, you must select the -S variant. Additionally, this version uses a male M10x1.25 threaded rod end instead of the default female thread.
