The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X50B Compact Cylinder | 32mm Bore is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 50mm 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 SDA32X50B 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 into a highly shortened unit, drastically reducing axial mounting depth where a traditional round-body actuator would be too bulky. The 32 mm bore features a hard-anodized inner wall and operates on filtered 40 um air.
This specific SKU includes a male M10x1.25 piston rod thread for direct load coupling, contrasting with the standard female M6x1.0 end. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning external shock absorbers should be specified for high-energy cycles. Because this configuration lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot host reed or electronic switches in the body grooves.

Provides the 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa required to drive the cutting spindle of an automated PCB depaneling machine along its 50 mm track.
Utilizes the male M10x1.25 rod end to securely attach a notching blade assembly, advancing 50 mm to cut aluminum profiles for window framing.
Deploys rapidly within a compact packaging line footprint, using its shortened riveted body to fold corrugated carton flaps prior to tape sealing.
Selecting this 32 mm bore actuator involves balancing your force and spatial requirements. If your application needs less thrust, stepping down to the SDA25 provides 245.4 N of push at 0.5 MPa; conversely, scaling up to the SDA40 yields 628.3 N. At 0.5 MPa, this model offers a safe working load of roughly 241 N (about 60% of its rated output) and can vertically lift approximately 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Ensure your ordering essentials cover the 50 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and the male M10x1.25 rod end. Note that a plain compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end rather than locking the load; utilize an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if position holding is critical.
Quick checklist
This double-acting 32 mm bore 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 between 0.15-1.0 MPa, handles a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and runs at speeds from 30-500 mm/s.
No, this specific SKU lacks the -S piston magnet, so it cannot trigger reed or electronic switches in the body grooves. Additionally, it uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion; you should add external shock absorbers for high-speed or high-energy loads.
