The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X5B Compact Cylinder | 32mm Bore is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 5mm 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 SDA32X5B is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for tight axial spaces, delivering a push force of 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa. Its riveted body construction drastically reduces mounting depth compared to standard round-body units, making it ideal for dense machinery layouts. The bore is hard-anodized for durability, and this specific configuration includes a male M10x1.25 piston rod thread for secure mechanical load coupling.
Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot support AirTAC reed or electronic switches. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled strictly by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning high-energy cycles may require an external shock absorber. Operating speed ranges from 30-500 mm/s.

Acts as a short-stroke gate for a printed circuit board drilling spindle, utilizing the 5mm stroke and male M10x1.25 rod to positively lock the chuck guard without occupying excessive Z-axis height.
Provides a high-frequency 5mm nudging motion on a horizontal flow wrapper to align film prior to the end-seal jaw, benefiting from the fixed NBR bumper to absorb rapid cyclic impacts.
Ejects small stamped metal parts from a progressive die using 402.1 N of push force, where the compact riveted body fits neatly within the tight tooling envelope.
When sizing this 32mm bore, stepping down to the SDA25 yields 245.4 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDA40 provides 628.3 N. For this SDA32X5B configuration, expect a safe working load around 241 N (roughly 60% of the 402.1 N figure) and a vertical lift capacity of about 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Ensure you specify the PT1/8 port, the 5mm stroke, and the male M10x1.25 rod end (B option) when ordering. Note that a plain SDA cylinder will drift and cannot hold a load if air pressure is lost; applying an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is necessary for position holding.
Quick checklist
The SDA32X5B generates 402.1 N of push force and 345.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 563 N and pull to 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum push is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port size is PT1/8.
No. This model uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, which is not an adjustable air cushion. Additionally, because it lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept AirTAC reed or electronic switches.
