The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X5H 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 SDA32X5H is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for extremely short axial mounting footprints. Featuring a 32mm bore and a 5mm stroke, it generates 402.1 N of push force and 345.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. This specific SKU utilizes a fluororubber (FKM) seal variant, providing enhanced resistance to higher temperatures and oily environments compared to the standard NBR configuration.
The riveted body design integrates the barrel, rear cover, and piston to minimize overall length where conventional round-body units fail to fit. End-of-travel deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper at each end, which absorbs impact energy but is not a field-adjustable air cushion. Operating at speeds between 30-500 mm/s, this unit lacks a piston magnet and therefore cannot support magnetic sensing.

Applies a precise 402.1 N push to seat electronic edge connectors onto printed circuit boards within tight machine envelopes.
Nips the tail of a packaging film roll rapidly in high-temperature converting zones where the FKM seal ensures longevity.
Extends a short 5mm pin to register pallets under a machining center, utilizing the compact riveted body to save axial depth.
Selecting this 32mm bore model provides a safe working load of approximately 241 N, which is roughly 60 percent of the 402.1 N push force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires a vertical lift, this equates to safely hoisting about 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. If you need less force, stepping down to the SDA25 yields 245.4 N of push at 0.5 MPa; conversely, scaling up to the SDA40 provides 628.3 N. Keep in mind that a plain compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke end without locking the load. For position holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required. When ordering, confirm the 5mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female M6x1.0 rod thread, and the FKM seal option.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder delivers 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 563 N push 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 speeds of 30-500 mm/s, and uses a PT1/8 port.
No, this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet and cannot trigger AirTAC reed or electronic switches. You must select the -S variant to enable sensing. Additionally, end stops rely on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, so external shock absorbers are advised for high-energy cycles.
