The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X80B 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 SDA32X80B 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 body design integrates the barrel, rear cover, piston, and rod into a highly unified structure, significantly reducing axial mounting depth compared to conventional round-body units. The hard-anodized bore interior ensures smooth, low-friction operation across the 80 mm stroke.
This specific SKU features a male M10x1.25 threaded piston rod end, providing a robust mechanical coupling for your load, and utilizes a PT1/8 port. The cylinder relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston near stroke limits rather than an adjustable air cushion. Because this configuration lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot directly host AirTAC reed or electronic switches.

Pushes small to medium parcels onto secondary sorting lanes within distribution hubs, utilizing the 80 mm stroke and 402.1 N output to overcome carton friction.
Positions material routing gates on printed circuit board assembly lines, where the compact body depth prevents interference with tight machinery clearances.
Actuates side flap folding arms on automated case erectors, using the male M10x1.25 rod end to securely drive the mechanical folding linkage.
When sizing this unit, evaluate your force requirements carefully: stepping down to the SDA25 yields 245.4 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to the SDA40 provides 628.3 N. The 32 mm bore offers a computed safe working load of approximately 241 N (about 60% of the 402.1 N capacity), translating to a vertical lift capability of roughly 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Keep in mind that a standard cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered—the piston will drift, and the fixed bumper only decelerates near the stroke end, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is necessary for suspended loads. Confirm your ordering essentials: 32 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, male M10x1.25 rod thread, and no sensor magnet.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder generates 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 and the pull force is 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S option, meaning it lacks a piston magnet and cannot be used with AirTAC reed or electronic switches. You would need to select the SDA32X80BS variant to utilize the sensor grooves around the body for position detection.
