The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X5SB 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 SDA32X5SB is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered for extremely short axial mounting envelopes. A 32 mm bore yields 402.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for high-force clamping in confined spaces. The riveted body design integrates the barrel and covers to minimize footprint compared to round-body units.
This configuration includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for position sensing and a male M10x1.25 threaded rod end (-B). Magnetic-switch grooves around the body accept AirTAC reed or electronic switches. End-of-travel deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper, which is not an adjustable air cushion.

Secures circuit boards during automated soldering or inspection, utilizing the 5 mm stroke and 402.1 N force within tight process machinery.
Drives short dowel pins into aluminum housings on an assembly line where the 32 mm bore provides ample thrust without excessive bulk.
Briefly deflects minor flaps on packaging lines prior to tape sealing, benefiting from the riveted body's minimal axial depth.
For sizing context, stepping down to the SDA25 provides 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDA40 yields 628.3 N. With a 0.5 MPa input, the safe working load is approximately 241 N (about 60% of capacity), allowing a vertical lift of roughly 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. When ordering, confirm the 32 mm bore, 5 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, male M10x1.25 rod thread, and the required magnet. Note that this unit does not hold its position on air loss; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if load holding is required.
Quick checklist
The 32 mm bore generates 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The maximum standard stroke available for this bore is 130 mm.
No, end-of-travel deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper, not an adjustable air cushion. Additionally, the piston will drift if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required to hold a load.
