The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X80 Compact Cylinder | 32mm Bore is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 80mm 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 SDA32X80 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. Featuring a 32 mm bore and an 80 mm stroke, this unit relies on a hard-anodized inner wall and a two-way piston seal to maintain efficient pneumatic performance across its 30-500 mm/s speed range.
Its short riveted body drastically reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body alternatives, making it ideal for tight machinery footprints. End-stopping is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning external shock absorbers should be specified for high-energy cycles. This SKU omits the piston magnet, so position sensing is not supported out of the box.

Deploys a 32mm bore actuator to push parcels weighing up to 20 kg onto secondary sorting lanes within tight conveyor transfer frames.
Drives a short 80mm stroke to unlock tool holders in automated machining centers where axial mounting space is severely restricted.
Executes rapid mid-stroke tucking motions on corrugated packaging lines, relying on the 402.1 N extend force to overcome cardboard resistance.
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, allowing you to fine-tune force to your exact payload. For the SDA32X80 specifically, 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. To finalize your order, confirm the 32 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female M6x1.0 rod thread, and the absence of the magnet option. Keep in mind that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only decelerates the piston near stroke end and does not function as a locking brake. If your application must hold a load without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 32mm 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 and 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and functions safely in temperatures from -20 to +70 C.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet, so it cannot trigger AirTAC reed or electronic switches. To add position sensing capabilities, you must select the SDA32X80S variant. Additionally, end-of-stroke deceleration is managed by a fixed NBR bumper, not an adjustable air cushion, so high-speed applications may require external shock absorption.
