The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X60SBH 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 SDA32X60SBH is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered with a 32 mm bore and 60 mm stroke. Its riveted assembly significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body units, making it optimal for tight machinery footprints. Equipped with a male M10x1.25 piston rod and a PT1/8 port, it delivers a robust 402.1 N push force at 0.5 MPa. The -H designation indicates fluororubber (FKM) seals for enhanced thermal and oil resistance.
This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) compatible with AirTAC reed or electronic switches for precise position detection along the body grooves. Deceleration at stroke ends relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. This design requires operators to slow the approach speed or utilize external shock absorbers for high-energy loads, as the bumper strictly manages end-stop impact without locking the payload.

Secures aluminum housings during machining cycles, utilizing the 402.1 N extend force and FKM seals to withstand cutting fluid exposure.
Drives mechanical arms to tuck corrugated flaps on automated boxing lines, where the 60 mm stroke and male M10 rod end connect directly to tooling brackets.
Actuates routing gates on logistics sortation belts, relying on the integrated magnet for immediate switch feedback to confirm gate position.
When sizing this unit, evaluate your force requirements carefully. Stepping down to the SDA25 provides 245.4 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to the SDA40 yields 628.3 N. For the SDA32X60SBH, the 402.1 N output at 0.5 MPa translates to a safe working load of roughly 241 N (60% capacity) and a vertical lift capability of approximately 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 thread (-B), FKM seals (-H), and the integrated magnet (-S). Keep in mind that a standard compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only decelerates the piston near the end of its travel and does not function as a braking mechanism. To maintain vertical load holding without live pressure, incorporate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder provides a push force of 402.1 N and a pull force of 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 563 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
No, the piston will drift downward if air is lost or the directional valve is centered. The fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the rod near the stroke endpoints and does not act as a lock. For suspended or vertical loads, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
