The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X60SB 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 SDA32X60SB 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 assembly merges the barrel, rear cover, and piston into a highly shortened unit, drastically reducing axial mounting depth where a conventional round-body actuator would be too bulky. The internal bore is hard-anodized and paired with a two-way piston seal for longevity.
This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet for direct mounting of AirTAC reed or electronic switches along the body grooves, plus a male M10x1.25 threaded rod end for secure load coupling. End-of-travel deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable cushion, meaning operators should slow the approach speed or utilize external shock absorbers for high-energy cycles.

Secures aluminum engine blocks during machining via the male M10 rod end, utilizing 402.1 N of extend force to maintain rigid positioning against cutting vibrations.
Drives a 60 mm stroke folding arm on a high-speed packaging line, relying on the compact riveted body to fit within tight conveyor side-frame clearances.
Pushes populated printed circuit boards out of an SMT oven magazine, using the integrated magnet to trigger a solid-state electronic switch for precise ejection timing.
When sizing this 32 mm bore actuator, evaluate your neighbors: 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 model, the computed 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. Confirm your ordering essentials: 32 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, built-in magnet, and male M10x1.25 rod thread.
Keep in mind that a standard compact cylinder will not hold a load if air pressure drops or the directional valve centers; the piston will drift, and the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates near the stroke end without acting as a mechanical lock. If your fixture demands fail-safe holding, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into the pneumatic circuit.
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 force is 82 kgf at the 1.0 MPa operating pressure limit.
No, this actuator uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston, not an adjustable air cushion. For high-speed or high-mass loads, you should reduce the approach speed or install an external shock absorber to prevent end-cap damage.
