The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X60BH 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 SDA32X60BH is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for tight axial footprints. Its riveted body assembly significantly reduces mounting depth compared to traditional round-body units. Delivering 402.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it incorporates a hard-anodized bore and a two-way piston seal for reliable service.
This specific configuration includes a male M10x1.25 threaded piston rod for direct load coupling and FKM (fluororubber) seals for enhanced thermal and oil resistance. End-stopping is handled by fixed NBR bumpers rather than adjustable cushions, and because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot host position switches.

Secures aluminum workpieces in a machining center using the male M10 rod end, providing 402.1 N of clamping force without extending the machine envelope.
Drives folding mechanisms on high-speed packaging lines where the short riveted body saves valuable axial space between conveyor rollers.
Ejects tested samples from a heated laboratory chamber, utilizing the FKM seals to withstand elevated ambient temperatures during continuous cycling.
When sizing this 32 mm bore actuator, evaluate your neighbors: the SDA25 provides 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa for lighter duties, while the SDA40 steps up to 628.3 N for heavier cycles. The computed safe working load for this bore is roughly 241 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa output), translating to a vertical lift capacity near 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 32 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, male M10x1.25 rod, and FKM seals. Remember that a standard compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke end and will not lock the load, so utilize an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if position holding is mandatory.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore double-acting 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, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and runs at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
No. This SKU lacks the -S piston magnet, so it cannot accept AirTAC reed or electronic switches. Additionally, SDA series cylinders use a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke end; they do not feature field-adjustable air cushions. For high-energy cycles, add an external shock absorber.
