The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X60B Compact Cylinder | 32mm Bore is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 60mm 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 SDA32X60B 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 body assembly significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to standard round-body units, making it highly effective for machinery with tight spatial footprints. The 12 mm piston rod features a male M10x1.25 thread end, providing a robust mechanical coupling for your load.
This specific configuration includes a 60 mm stroke and utilizes a PT1/8 port. End-of-travel deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning high-energy cycles may require an external shock absorber or a slowed approach. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot support magnetic position sensing.

Thread: PT standard. Related SDA-family variants: SSA (single-acting push), STA (single-acting pull), SDAD (double rod), SDAJ (adjustable stroke), SDAT (duplex), SDAW (duplex-end).
Actuates routing gates on packaging conveyors where the short riveted body minimizes frame protrusion and the 402.1 N push force easily deflects standard cartons.
Secures circuit board panels during drilling operations, utilizing the male M10x1.25 rod end for rigid tooling attachment while keeping the spindle area clear.
Maintains tension on yarn guides within automated looms, operating at 30-500 mm/s to accommodate rapid weaving cycles without requiring large axial clearance.
When sizing this unit, consider stepping down to the SDA25 which provides 245.4 N of push at 0.5 MPa, or stepping up to the SDA40 which yields 628.3 N at the same pressure. For the 402.1 N output at 0.5 MPa, the safe working load is approximately 241 N (60% capacity), translating to a vertical lift capability of about 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. To finalize your order, confirm the 32 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and the male M10x1.25 rod thread. Note that a plain compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke end and does not function as a locking brake. If your application requires position holding without live pressure, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This double-acting single-rod cylinder generates 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum push of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S piston magnet, so it cannot support reed or electronic switches. Additionally, it relies on a fixed NBR bumper for end-stop deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion.
