The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X10SN 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 SDA32X10SN is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered for tight axial spaces. It delivers 402.1 N of push force and 345.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The riveted unibody design merges the barrel, rear cover, and piston to drastically reduce mounting depth compared to conventional round-body units, saving valuable machine footprint.
This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet (S code) for direct mounting of AirTAC reed or electronic switches along the body grooves. The 32 mm bore features a 12 mm rod, PT1/8 ports, and a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke. The 10 mm stroke is ideal for very short movements, and the female M6x1.0 rod end threads couple securely to your load.

Provides precise 10 mm lateral shifting on a conveyor to align printed circuit boards before optical inspection, utilizing the 402.1 N push force to overcome guide friction.
Executes rapid, short-stroke tucking of minor flaps on corrugated cartons in continuous flow wrapping machinery where axial mounting length is severely restricted.
Pushes small stamped metal or plastic parts out of a die set in a press line, relying on the fixed NBR bumper to absorb the impact at the end of the 10 mm stroke.
When sizing this 32 mm bore actuator, consider stepping down to the SDA25 if your application requires less force (245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa), or moving up to the SDA40 for heavier payloads (628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa). For the SDA32X10SN, the safe working load is approximately 241 N (about 60% of the 402.1 N push figure), translating to a vertical lift capacity of roughly 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Keep in mind that a standard compact cylinder will drift and cannot hold a load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; adding an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is necessary for secure positioning. To order, confirm the 32 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female rod thread, and the required magnetic sensor option.
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 force is 563 N and the pull force is 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
No, it uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston near the stroke end; it is not an adjustable air cushion. Additionally, it does not function as a lock or brake, so the piston will drift if air is lost. For high-speed applications, an external shock absorber is recommended, and a pilot-operated check valve is needed to hold a load.
