The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X150 Compact Cylinder | 32mm Bore is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 150mm 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 SDA32X150 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 assembly merges the barrel, rear cover, piston, and rod into a highly shortened unit, significantly reducing axial mounting depth compared to conventional round-body designs. This space efficiency makes it ideal for machinery where footprint constraints are critical.
This specific 150 mm configuration exceeds the 130 mm maximum standard stroke for a 32 mm bore, making it a non-standard, made-to-order item. The bore is hard-anodized and uses a two-way piston seal operating at 30-500 mm/s. End-of-travel deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning high-energy cycles may require an external shock absorber. This SKU is supplied without a piston magnet and therefore cannot host magnetic switches.

Extends a 150 mm routing flap on a logistics sorting line, using the 402.1 N extend force to push parcels smoothly between adjacent belt lanes.
Drives a folding arm on a corrugated box erecting machine, where the short body depth conserves valuable space within the tight packaging frame.
Pushes machined aluminum parts out of a CNC fixture, leveraging the 20.5 kg vertical lift margin to clear the work area before the next cycle.
When sizing this actuator, stepping down to the SDA25 yields 245.4 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDA40 provides 628.3 N. For the SDA32X150 specifically, 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. Because 150 mm exceeds the standard 130 mm limit for this bore, expect a made-to-order lead time.
Confirm your ordering essentials: 32 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female M6x1.0 rod end, and no magnet. Note that a plain compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the stroke end and does not function as a lock. If your application must hold a load without live pressure, 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 within a pressure range of 0.15-1.0 MPa, handles temperatures from -20 to +70 C, and runs at speeds between 30-500 mm/s.
No, this specific SKU lacks the built-in piston magnet, so it cannot host AirTAC reed or electronic switches in the body grooves. You would need to specify the -S option to add a magnet. Additionally, this 150 mm unit is a non-standard made-to-order stroke exceeding the 130 mm standard maximum, and it relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable cushion.
