The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X25H Compact Cylinder | 32mm Bore is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 25mm 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 SDA32X25H is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder featuring a 32 mm bore and 25 mm stroke. It supplies 402.1 N of push force and 345.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. This H-suffix variant uses a fluororubber (FKM) seal for enhanced heat and oil resistance, operating within the standard -20 to +70 C range. The hard-anodized bore and two-way piston seal ensure durable, leak-free performance.
Its short riveted body minimizes axial mounting depth, making it ideal for machinery where a standard round-body unit will not fit. End-of-travel deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper at each end, which is not an adjustable air cushion. This specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot support position sensing without upgrading to the S-option variant.

Secures aluminum engine blocks on a CNC machining center, utilizing the 402.1 N extend force and FKM seals to withstand spray coolant and high ambient heat.
Drives the mechanical flap folders on a high-speed corrugated box erector, where the short 25 mm stroke and compact depth save valuable axial space.
Actuates a routing diverter arm on a logistics parcel conveyor, moving lightweight totes with a safe working load well under the calculated 241 N threshold.
When sizing this 32 mm bore actuator, compare its 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa against adjacent options. Stepping down, the SDA25 provides 245.4 N; stepping up, the SDA40 yields 628.3 N. A practical safe working load is roughly 241 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa figure), allowing a vertical lift of approximately 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 32 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female M6x1.0 rod thread, FKM seals, and no sensor magnet. Because a standard cylinder drifts when air pressure drops or the valve centers, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if the application must hold a load safely in place.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder delivers 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum push of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port size is PT1/8.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet, so it cannot support reed or electronic switches. You must select the S-option (SDA32X25HS) to enable sensing. Additionally, it uses fixed NBR bumpers for end deceleration rather than an adjustable cushion.
