The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X25N 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 SDA32X25N 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 to drastically reduce axial mounting depth, fitting easily into tight machine footprints where standard round-body units fail. The 32 mm bore features a hard-anodized inner wall and a two-way piston seal for reliable service.
This specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, meaning it cannot directly host AirTAC reed or electronic switches for position sensing. End-of-travel deceleration is handled purely by a fixed NBR bumper at each end rather than an adjustable air cushion. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa, and the PT1/8 port paired with a 12 mm rod provides robust connectivity for general industrial pneumatics.

Secures aluminum housings inside machining centers. The 402.1 N extend force provides rigid holding against cutting forces, while the short 25 mm stroke keeps the fixture profile low.
Drives mechanical arms to tuck corrugated box flaps prior to sealing. The compact riveted body saves axial space on narrow conveyor side frames without sacrificing cycle speed.
Pushes molded plastic parts out of press dies. The fixed NBR bumper absorbs the end-stop impact reliably across thousands of high-speed 30-500 mm/s ejection cycles.
When sizing this unit, consider stepping down to the SDA25 which provides 245.4 N of push at 0.5 MPa, or moving up to the SDA40 which yields 628.3 N at the same pressure. For the SDA32X25N, the computed 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. Confirm your ordering essentials: 32 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female M6x1.0 rod thread, and no sensor magnet.
Because this is a standard double-acting cylinder, it will not hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered—the piston drifts, and the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates near the stroke end rather than locking it. If your application requires strict position holding without live pressure, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder provides 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. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa, proof pressure is 1.5 MPa, and speed ranges from 30-500 mm/s.
No, this specific SKU is manufactured without a piston magnet, so it cannot host AirTAC reed or electronic switches. If you require position feedback, you must select the SDA32X25S variant which includes the built-in magnet for sensing.
