The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X130H 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 SDA32X130H is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered with a 32 mm bore and a 130 mm stroke. It generates 402.1 N of push force and 345.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. This specific SKU utilizes a fluororubber (FKM) seal, offering superior resistance to higher temperatures and oils compared to standard NBR. The hard-anodized bore interior minimizes friction, while the integrated PT1/8 port keeps pneumatic connections secure.
Designed to minimize axial mounting footprint, the riveted body assembly is significantly shorter than conventional round-body units. Instead of an adjustable air cushion, the piston strikes a fixed NBR bumper at each end to absorb shock. Because this configuration lacks a piston magnet, it cannot support magnetic sensing; adding the -S option enables compatibility with reed or electronic switches mounted in the body grooves.

Drives sorting gates on high-speed packaging conveyors, utilizing the 130 mm stroke to push cartons into secondary lanes without consuming excessive frame depth.
Actuates intermediate tool racks in CNC machining centers where the FKM seals withstand elevated ambient temperatures and lubricant mist.
Applies controlled clamping pressure to material testing samples, delivering a repeatable 402.1 N push force for component fatigue validation.
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force margins carefully. Stepping down to the SDA25 reduces the 0.5 MPa push capacity to 245.4 N, whereas stepping up to the SDA40 increases it to 628.3 N. Based on the 402.1 N output, the safe working load is approximately 241 N (60% capacity), translating to a vertical lift capability of about 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Ensure your ordering criteria match the 32 mm bore, 130 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and the FKM seal requirement. Note that a plain 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. For suspended loads, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore double-acting 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. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and the operational speed spans 30-500 mm/s.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet, so it cannot support magnetic sensing. You would need to specify the -S option to add a magnet for reed or electronic switches. Additionally, end-of-travel deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper, which is not an adjustable air cushion.
