The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X10SB 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 SDA32X10SB 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. The riveted unibody design drastically reduces overall length compared to conventional round-body units, making it ideal for shallow machine cavities. This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for position sensing and a male-thread piston rod (-B).
Equipped with a 12 mm piston rod and PT1/8 ports, this model handles a brief 10 mm stroke. The bore interior is hard-anodized for longevity, while the fixed NBR bumpers absorb end-stop impact. Note that these bumpers merely decelerate the piston near stroke limits; they are not adjustable air cushions, so external shock absorbers are recommended for high-speed operations.

Secures circuit boards during routing with a 10 mm travel, using the male M10 rod end to mount custom non-marring jaws.
Applies precise 241 N holding pressure on packaging web rollers, fitting into narrow side-frame clearances.
Kicks sorted plastic components out of a machining center using a short 10 mm stroke and 402.1 N of extend force.
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 SDA32X10SB offers a safe working load of roughly 241 N (about 60% of its 402.1 N capacity) and can vertically lift approximately 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. To finalize your order, confirm the 32 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, male M10x1.25 rod thread, and the required magnetic sensor.
Keep in mind that a standard compact cylinder cannot hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the piston will drift. If your application demands position holding without live pressure, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This double-acting 32 mm bore cylinder provides 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 563 N push at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa, runs at 30-500 mm/s, and functions in temperatures from -20 to +70 C.
No, it uses fixed NBR bumpers at each end to decelerate the stroke, which are not adjustable air cushions. Additionally, the -B option means it features a male M10x1.25 threaded piston rod instead of the default female M6x1.0 thread. The -S option equips it with a magnet for reed or electronic switches.
