The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X130SB 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 SDA32X130SB is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered to deliver a push force of 402.1 N and a pull force of 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa. Its short riveted body design significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body units, saving valuable machine footprint in tight assemblies. 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 air ports, this model handles a 130 mm stroke, which qualifies as a non-standard made-to-order length for this 32 mm bore. The bore inner wall is hard-anodized, and end-of-travel deceleration is managed strictly by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. To track piston position, the -S magnet works seamlessly with AirTAC reed or electronic switches fitted into the body grooves.

Extends a 130 mm routing flap on a packaging line conveyor, utilizing the 402.1 N push force to redirect cartons into secondary processing lanes.
Pushes depaneled circuit boards out of a CNC routing fixture, where the male M10x1.25 rod end securely threads into the ejection platen.
Cycles horizontally to index empty storage totes into a stacking cradle, relying on the compact riveted body to fit within narrow conveyor framing.
When sizing this unit, compare its 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa against adjacent bores: the SDA25 provides 245.4 N, while the SDA40 offers 628.3 N. Based on the 402.1 N figure, 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. Because this is a 130 mm stroke on a compact body, a guided cylinder is strongly recommended to prevent side-loading damage to the 12 mm rod.
Keep in mind that a standard SDA does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the piston will drift, as the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the stroke end rather than locking the load. For applications requiring suspended load holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is necessary. When ordering, confirm the 32 mm bore, 130 mm non-standard stroke, PT1/8 port, -S magnet, and -B male M10x1.25 rod thread.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder generates a push force of 402.1 N and a pull force of 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 563 N. The theoretical maximum push is 82 kgf at the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa.
No, the piston will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not act as a locking brake. To maintain vertical position without live pressure, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
