The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X30N 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 SDA32X30N 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 unifies the barrel, rear cover, piston, and rod to minimize axial mounting depth, providing a distinct footprint advantage when space is tight. The bore is hard-anodized and paired with a two-way piston seal for reliable pneumatic operation.
This specific model features a 32 mm bore, a 30 mm stroke, and a 12 mm piston rod. It uses PT1/8 ports and a female M6x1.0 rod-end thread. Deceleration at the stroke ends is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. Note that this SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot support magnetic sensing without upgrading to the -S variant.

Directs printed circuit board stacks into drilling stations with a 241 N safe working load, fitting neatly into dense electronics manufacturing machinery.
Actuates folding mechanisms on packaging lines where a 30 mm stroke and 345.6 N pull force at 0.5 MPa securely tuck cardboard flaps prior to sealing.
Ejects small molded components from machining centers, utilizing the 12 mm rod and female M6x1.0 thread to push lightweight parts clear of the tooling area.
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your neighbors: stepping down to the SDA25 yields 245.4 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDA40 provides 628.3 N. For the SDA32X30N itself, a 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, 30 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female rod thread, and no sensor magnet. Keep in mind that a standard cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke end rather than locking the load; utilize an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if position holding is required.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402.1 N and the pull force is 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 563 N and pull is 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum push is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
It relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston, which is not an adjustable air cushion. For high energy cycles, add an external shock absorber. Additionally, it does not hold its load if air is lost; the piston will drift, requiring an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure positioning.
