The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X10S 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 SDA32X10S is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered for tight axial spaces. Utilizing a riveted body assembly, it drastically reduces mounting depth compared to round-body alternatives while delivering a robust 402.1 N push force at 0.5 MPa. The hard-anodized 32 mm bore ensures durability, and the integrated -S piston magnet enables position detection.
This 10 mm stroke model features a 12 mm piston rod and a PT1/8 port. End-stop deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning high-speed operations may require external shock absorbers. The built-in magnet interfaces directly with AirTAC reed or electronic switches fitted into the body grooves.

Provides precise 10 mm lateral positioning of printed circuit boards on an SMT pick-and-place conveyor using the integrated magnet for end-of-travel confirmation.
Executes short, rapid strokes to fold minor flaps on corrugated cartons prior to sealing, leveraging the 402.1 N output to overcome board stiffness.
Pushes stamped metal parts out of a press die in a 10 mm burst, where the compact riveted body fits within the tight tooling envelope.
Selecting this 32 mm bore provides a safe working load of roughly 241 N (about 60% of the 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa), capable of a vertical lift near 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. If your application requires less force, the SDA25 offers 245.4 N at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the SDA40 yields 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa for heavier demands. When ordering, confirm the 10 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female M6x1.0 rod thread, and the required -S magnet for sensing. Keep in mind that a standard cylinder drifts if air pressure drops, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is necessary to hold a load securely.
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 is 563 N and the pull is 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum push is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa, with an operating pressure range of 0.15-1.0 MPa.
It uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston, which is not an adjustable air cushion or a locking brake. The -S option includes a built-in magnet for use with AirTAC reed or electronic switches in the body grooves.
