The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X10SH 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 SDA32X10SH is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for tight axial spaces. A riveted assembly joining the barrel, rear cover, and piston yields an exceptionally short body footprint, sidestepping the length penalties of conventional round-body units. Operating at 0.15-1.0 MPa, it generates 402.1 N of push force and 345.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa.
This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for direct mounting of AirTAC reed or electronic switches along the body grooves, plus fluororubber (-H) seals for enhanced thermal and oil resistance. End-of-travel deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. With a 12 mm piston rod and female M6x1.0 thread, the PT1/8 ported body is optimized for rapid, short 10 mm movements.

Applies 402.1 N of extend force to square electronic circuit boards on a conveyor prior to surface mount component placement.
Utilizes the 10 mm stroke to rapidly pinch and hold packaging web overlaps during automatic film roll changes.
Acts as a high-cycle hard stop for 20.5 kg aluminum profiles entering a cutting station, absorbing impact via the fixed NBR bumper.
When sizing this unit, evaluate your force margins carefully. Dropping down to an SDA25 provides 245.4 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to an SDA40 yields 628.3 N. The 32 mm bore here offers a computed safe working load of roughly 241 N (about 60% of the 402.1 N capacity), translating to a vertical lift capability of approximately 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 32 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female rod thread, -S magnet, and -H FKM seals. Note that a standard 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. If your application demands strict position holding without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder outputs 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15-1.0 MPa with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and the operational speed spans 30-500 mm/s.
Deceleration at the stroke ends is managed by a fixed NBR bumper, which is not field-adjustable and differs from a pneumatic air cushion; for high-energy cycles, slow the approach or add an external shock absorber. The -S option provides a piston magnet compatible with AirTAC reed or electronic switches mounted in the body grooves, while the -H option specifies fluororubber seals for improved oil and heat resistance.
