The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X30B Compact Cylinder | 32mm Bore is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 30mm 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 SDA32X30B 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 body assembly significantly reduces axial mounting depth, making it ideal for machinery where a standard round-body unit would simply not fit. The hard-anodized 32 mm bore ensures durability while maintaining a swift 30-500 mm/s operating speed.
This specific SKU is configured with a male M10x1.25 piston rod thread (denoted by the B option) instead of the default female M6x1.0, providing a robust external mounting point for your load. It features a PT1/8 port and relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke. Because this model lacks the S magnet option, it cannot directly host AirTAC reed or electronic switches.

Provides 402.1 N of extension force to push completed aluminum parts out of a CNC machining fixture, utilizing the male M10x1.25 rod end for direct tool mounting.
Actuates at high speed within a tight packaging line frame, using its short riveted body depth to fold corrugated cardboard flaps prior to sealing.
Pushes parcels weighing up to 20.5 kg laterally across a conveyor belt, relying on the fixed NBR bumper to absorb the impact at the end of the 30 mm stroke.
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 SDA32X30B, the theoretical 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. Keep in mind that a standard compact cylinder will drift and cannot hold a load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; applying an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is necessary for secure position holding.
To finalize your order, confirm the 32 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and the male M10x1.25 rod thread. Since this configuration omits the magnet, you will need to choose the S variant if your application requires magnetic sensing.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder generates 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates within a pressure range of 0.15-1.0 MPa and a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
No, this model uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston, which is not an adjustable air cushion. For high-energy cycles, you should slow the approach or add an external shock absorber. Additionally, this SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot support magnetic switches; you must select the S option for sensing capabilities.
