The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X60H 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 SDA32X60H is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered with a 32 mm bore and 60 mm stroke. It generates 402.1 N of push force and 345.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The riveted body design integrates the barrel, rear cover, piston, and rod into a highly short axial package, drastically reducing machine footprint compared to conventional round-body units. This specific H variant utilizes fluororubber (FKM) seals for enhanced thermal and oil resistance.
This model features a 12 mm piston rod and PT1/8 air port. Instead of an adjustable air cushion, it relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke. Because this SKU lacks the S option, it has no piston magnet and cannot accept magnetic switches. Theoretical maximum push capacity reaches 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa, with an operating speed range of 30-500 mm/s.

Secures aluminum workpieces in CNC machining centers. The 402.1 N extend force provides rigid holding against cutting forces, while FKM seals resist way-oil contamination.
Presses carton flaps in high-temperature packaging lines. The 60 mm stroke accommodates varying box heights, and the fluororubber seals withstand ambient heat near glue applicators.
Ejects small stamped metal parts from progressive dies. The short riveted body minimizes axial length inside tight tooling enclosures, operating efficiently at 30-500 mm/s.
When sizing this actuator, stepping down to the SDA25 yields 245.4 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDA40 provides 628.3 N. For this 32 mm bore, the safe working load is approximately 241 N (about 60% of the 402.1 N figure), translating to a vertical lift capacity of roughly 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. To order, confirm the 32 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female rod thread (M6x1.0), and the FKM seal specification.
Keep in mind that a standard compact cylinder cannot hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the piston will drift. The fixed bumper only decelerates motion near 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
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402.1 N and the pull force is 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 563 N and pull is 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum push is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and operating temperature from -20 to +70 C.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet, so it cannot be used with reed or electronic switches. You would need the SDA32X60HS variant for sensing capabilities. Additionally, it uses a fixed NBR bumper for end deceleration, not an adjustable air cushion.
