The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X10H 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 SDA32X10H is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for minimal axial mounting depth. By utilizing a riveted body assembly rather than a standard round-body format, it drastically reduces machine footprint while delivering a robust 402.1 N push force at 0.5 MPa. This specific SKU features a fluororubber (FKM) seal, providing enhanced resistance to higher temperatures and oily environments compared to standard NBR.
Equipped with a 12mm piston rod and PT1/8 ports, this 32mm bore unit operates at speeds between 30-500 mm/s. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning external shock absorbers should be added for high-energy cycles. This model lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot directly host magnetic switches without specifying the -S option.

Ideal for pushing finished aluminum parts out of CNC fixtures where the 10mm stroke and FKM seals withstand residual cutting fluid spray.
Provides a short 10mm tapping motion to tuck packaging flaps on high-speed cartoning lines, fitting neatly within tight side-frame clearances.
Delivers 402.1 N of force to align thin sheet metal blanks under a stamping press, utilizing its compact riveted body to save axial space.
When sizing this actuator, consider stepping down to the SDA25 which provides 245.4 N of push at 0.5 MPa, or moving up to the SDA40 which yields 628.3 N at the same pressure. For this 32mm bore, 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 your requirements: 32mm bore, 10mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female M6x1.0 rod thread, no magnet, and FKM seals. Because a standard cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost, applications requiring load holding will need an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 32mm bore double-acting cylinder exerts 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 increases to 563 N and pull to 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum push is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates within a pressure range of 0.15-1.0 MPa and a temperature range of -20 to +70 C.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet, meaning it cannot host AirTAC reed or electronic switches. To enable position sensing, you must select the -S option. Additionally, end-stop deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper, which is not an adjustable cushion, so high-speed applications may require external shock absorption.
