The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X15SBH 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 SDA32X15SBH is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered for tight axial spaces. Its riveted body assembly drastically reduces mounting depth compared to conventional round-body units, delivering a robust 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa. Equipped with an FKM fluororubber seal, this variant handles higher thermal and oil-exposure demands, while the hard-anodized 32 mm bore ensures long service life.
This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for direct compatibility with AirTAC reed or electronic switches along the body grooves. The -B option provides a male M10x1.25 threaded rod end for secure mechanical coupling, and the fixed NBR bumpers absorb end-of-stroke impacts without requiring field adjustment.

Secures aluminum workpieces in CNC machining centers, utilizing the 402.1 N extend force and FKM seals to withstand cutting fluid exposure.
Drives the short 15 mm sealing head on thermoforming lines, where the compact riveted body minimizes footprint and the male M10 rod ensures rigid tool mounting.
Precisely triggers chemical dispense valves, relying on the built-in magnet for position feedback and the high-temperature FKM elastomer for chemical resistance.
When sizing this 32 mm bore actuator, evaluate your force margins carefully. Stepping down to the SDA25 yields 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the SDA40 provides 628.3 N. For the SDA32X15SBH, the safe working load is approximately 241 N (about 60% of the 402.1 N figure), allowing a vertical lift of roughly 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety factor. Remember that a standard compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only decelerates the piston near stroke end and does not function as a locking brake. If your application demands position holding without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Confirm your ordering essentials: 32 mm bore, 15 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, male M10x1.25 rod, FKM seals, and a sensor magnet.
Quick checklist
This double-acting 32 mm bore 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, push increases to 563 N and pull to 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum push is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a speed of 30-500 mm/s.
No, the SDA series uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston, which is not an adjustable air cushion. For high kinetic energy or rapid cycling, you should slow the approach speed or install an external shock absorber. Additionally, this model includes the -S magnet for reed or electronic switches and the -B male M10x1.25 rod thread.
