The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X15BH 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 SDA32X15BH is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered for tight axial footprints. Its riveted body assembly minimizes overall length compared to conventional round designs, yielding a robust 402.1 N push force at 0.5 MPa within a highly space-efficient envelope. This specific configuration includes a 15 mm stroke and a 32 mm bore.
This SKU is configured with a male M10x1.25 piston rod end for direct mechanical coupling, paired with high-temperature fluororubber (FKM) seals. The hard-anodized 32 mm bore operates at 30-500 mm/s, utilizing a fixed NBR bumper at each end to absorb end-stop impact rather than an adjustable air cushion. Because it lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot support magnetic position sensing.

Uses the 15 mm short stroke and male M10 rod to eject small plastic components from heated molds, where the FKM seals withstand residual ambient heat.
Deploys the 402.1 N push force to swiftly fold corrugated cardboard flaps on high-speed packaging lines without consuming excessive mounting depth.
Pushes delicate electronic boards into a routing fixture, relying on the fixed NBR bumper to decelerate the 12 mm rod gently before the end of travel.
When sizing this unit, evaluate your force margins: the SDA25 provides 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa for lighter duties, while the SDA40 steps up to 628.3 N if your payload increases. For the SDA32X15BH itself, the 402.1 N output translates to a safe working load of roughly 241 N (about 60% capacity) and a vertical lift capability of approximately 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Remember that this cylinder relies on live air pressure; if your application must hold a load during air loss or valve centering, the piston will drift. You must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve for secure positioning. Confirm your ordering essentials: 32 mm bore, 15 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, male M10x1.25 rod, and FKM seals.
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 1.0 MPa. It operates between 0.15-1.0 MPa, handles speeds of 30-500 mm/s, and functions in temperatures from -20 to +70 C.
No, this specific SKU lacks the internal piston magnet, so it cannot trigger AirTAC reed or electronic switches. Position sensing requires the -S variant. Additionally, end-stop deceleration is handled solely by a fixed NBR bumper, not an adjustable air cushion, so external shock absorbers are recommended for high-speed operations.
