The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X130SH 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 SDA32X130SH is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered with a 32 mm bore and 130 mm stroke. It generates 402.1 N of push force and 345.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The riveted body assembly significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body units, saving valuable machine footprint. This specific configuration includes an -S piston magnet for position sensing and an -H fluororubber (FKM) seal variant for enhanced thermal and oil resistance.
The bore inner wall is hard-anodized, and end-stop deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. Because the stroke extends to the 130 mm maximum standard limit for this bore size, external guiding is recommended to prevent side-load damage to the 12 mm piston rod. The body features integrated grooves for AirTAC reed or electronic switches, operating at speeds between 30 and 500 mm/s.

Secures aluminum housings inside CNC machining centers, utilizing the FKM seals to withstand exposure to synthetic cutting fluids and high-temperature environments.
Drives the mechanical arms that fold corrugated carton flaps at 130 mm stroke, relying on the 402.1 N push force to overcome board stiffness.
Actuates a 20.5 kg lightweight diverter gate on a packaging line, where the built-in magnet confirms the extended position via a reed or electronic switch.
When sizing this unit, stepping down to an SDA25 yields 245.4 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to an SDA40 provides 628.3 N at the same pressure. For the SDA32X130SH, the computed 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. Confirm your ordering essentials: 32 mm bore, 130 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female M6x1.0 rod thread, plus the S (magnet) and H (FKM seal) options.
Keep in mind that a standard compact cylinder does not hold its position when air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The piston will drift, and the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke near its end without acting as a mechanical lock. If your application requires a held load without live pressure, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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 the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa.
No, it uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke. It is not an adjustable air cushion. For high-speed or high-energy cycles, you should add an external shock absorber or slow down the approach speed.
