The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X130B Compact Cylinder | 32mm Bore is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 130mm 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 SDA32X130B is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered to deliver 402.1 N of push force and 345.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Its riveted body design significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to traditional round-body units, making it highly effective for machinery where space footprint is critical. This specific configuration includes a male M10x1.25 threaded piston rod end for secure mechanical load coupling.
Because this 130 mm stroke sits at the maximum standard limit for the 32 mm bore, it provides extended travel without requiring a custom made-to-order part. The unit relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston near stroke termination rather than an adjustable air cushion. Operating speeds span 30-500 mm/s, and the body lacks a piston magnet, meaning it cannot host magnetic position sensors in this base configuration.

Actuates a routing flap on a logistics sorting line, utilizing the 130 mm stroke to fully extend the gate and redirect parcels with a safe working load of 241 N.
Drives a mechanical arm to fold corrugated box flaps prior to sealing, where the male M10x1.25 rod end securely attaches the folding bracket.
Pushes machined aluminum parts out of a CNC fixture, relying on the compact riveted body to fit within the tight axial constraints of the cell.
When sizing this model, evaluate your force requirements carefully: stepping down to the SDA25 provides 245.4 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDA40 yields 628.3 N at the same pressure. For the current 32 mm bore, the safe working load is approximately 241 N (about 60% of the 402.1 N figure), translating to a vertical lift capacity of roughly 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Ensure you specify the PT1/8 port, the 130 mm stroke, and the male M10x1.25 rod thread when ordering. Note that a plain SDA cylinder will not hold a load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered—the piston will drift, and the fixed bumper only decelerates near the stroke end. For suspended or vertical loads, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder generates 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. It operates between 0.15-1.0 MPa, handles a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and functions in temperatures from -20 to +70 C.
No, it uses a fixed NBR bumper at the stroke ends to decelerate the piston, which is not a field-adjustable air cushion; for high energy impacts, add an external shock absorber. Additionally, this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot support reed or electronic switches without upgrading to the -S variant.
