The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X60S 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 SDA32X60S is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for tight machinery footprints. Its riveted assembly reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body units, yielding a 402.1 N push force at 0.5 MPa. The 32 mm bore features a hard-anodized inner wall and a 12 mm piston rod, while the -S suffix equips the piston with a built-in magnet for direct mounting of AirTAC reed or electronic switches along the body grooves.
This 60 mm stroke model relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston near stroke limits. It is not an adjustable air cushion, so high-speed operations may require an external shock absorber. Operating between 0.15-1.0 MPa, the unit safely handles an estimated 241 N working load (about 60% of its 0.5 MPa capacity) or a 20.5 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin.

Cycles a drill head gate in an electronics assembly line, using the 402.1 N extend force to positively position the spindle carriage within a compact machine frame.
Drives a 60 mm stroke folder arm on a continuous packaging conveyor, relying on the built-in magnet to trigger an electronic switch for precise flap timing.
Acts on a yarn tensioning lever where the short riveted body saves axial depth, applying a steady 345.6 N retract force at 0.5 MPa to maintain thread tension.
When sizing this actuator, compare its 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa against adjacent bores: stepping down to the SDA25 yields 245.4 N, while stepping up to the SDA40 provides 628.3 N. To finalize your build, confirm the 32 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female M6x1.0 rod thread (or male M10x1.25 if specified), and the -S magnet option. Remember that a standard compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only decelerates the end of travel and does not function as a locking brake. To suspend a load safely without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder generates a 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to a 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa, with an operating pressure range of 0.15-1.0 MPa and a speed of 30-500 mm/s.
No, the SDA32X60S uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston near the stroke extremes. It is not an adjustable air cushion, so for high-energy or high-speed cycles, you should slow the approach speed or add an external shock absorber.
