The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X10N 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 SDA32X10N is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for tight axial spaces. It delivers a push force of 402.1 N and a pull force of 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa. By utilizing a short riveted body assembly, this unit drastically reduces mounting depth compared to conventional round-body options, making it ideal for dense machinery layouts.
This specific model features a 12 mm piston rod and PT1/8 air ports. It relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, which is not an adjustable air cushion. Because this SKU lacks the -S option, it has no piston magnet and cannot accept AirTAC reed or electronic switches.

Secures printed circuit boards during routing operations where the 10 mm stroke and 402.1 N force provide rigid holding without consuming valuable Z-axis height.
Actuates short folding mechanisms on packaging lines, using its compact riveted body to fit within narrow side frames while delivering 345.6 N of retract pull.
Pushes lightweight metal or plastic parts from a CNC machining enclosure, benefiting from the 30-500 mm/s speed range and space-saving axial footprint.
When sizing this 32 mm bore actuator, consider stepping down to the SDA25 which yields 245.4 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, or moving up to the SDA40 which provides 628.3 N. The 402.1 N output at 0.5 MPa translates to a safe working load of roughly 241 N (about 60 percent capacity) and a vertical lift capability of approximately 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. To order, confirm the 10 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female M6x1.0 rod thread, and the absence of a sensor magnet. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost; holding a load requires an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa this cylinder pushes with 402.1 N and pulls with 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa the push increases to 563 N. The theoretical maximum push is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet. The -S variant is required to utilize the body sensor grooves with AirTAC reed or electronic switches. Additionally, end stopping is handled by a fixed NBR bumper, not an adjustable cushion.
