The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X15B Compact Cylinder | 32mm Bore is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 15mm 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 SDA32X15B is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered for tight axial spaces. Generating 402.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it features a 32 mm bore and a 15 mm stroke. The riveted body design drastically reduces overall length compared to conventional round-body units, saving valuable machine footprint.
This specific SKU includes a male M10x1.25 piston rod thread for robust load coupling. It relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, meaning it is not an adjustable air cushion. Note that this configuration lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot support magnetic sensing.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

Thread: PT standard. Related SDA-family variants: SSA (single-acting push), STA (single-acting pull), SDAD (double rod), SDAJ (adjustable stroke), SDAT (duplex), SDAW (duplex-end).
Provides 402.1 N of extend force to secure aluminum housings inside CNC machining centers, utilizing the short 15 mm stroke to minimize fixture bulk.
Actuates folding mechanisms on automated packaging lines where the male M10x1.25 rod end directly drives the folding arm with precise, short travel.
Pushes molded plastic parts out of small press dies, relying on the fixed NBR bumper to absorb the end-stop impact without requiring extensive clearance.
When sizing this unit, compare its 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa against adjacent bores: the SDA25 yields 245.4 N, while the SDA40 provides 628.3 N. For your 32 mm bore, the safe working load is approximately 241 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa 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, 15 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, male M10x1.25 rod thread, and no magnet. Because a standard cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if the application requires position holding.
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, push is 563 N and pull is 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa, with an operating pressure range of 0.15-1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S option, so it lacks a piston magnet and cannot trigger AirTAC reed or electronic switches. You would need the SDA32X15BS variant for position sensing capabilities.
