The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X80BH 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 SDA32X80BH is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered with a hard-anodized 32 mm bore and an 80 mm stroke. By utilizing a riveted assembly that joins the barrel, rear cover, piston, and rod, this unit achieves an exceptionally short axial footprint, conserving valuable machine mounting depth where a conventional round-body actuator simply cannot fit. It delivers a robust 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull force at 0.5 MPa, operating efficiently at speeds between 30 and 500 mm/s.
This specific configuration includes a male M10x1.25 piston rod thread for secure mechanical coupling to your load, alongside an FKM (fluororubber) seal variant for enhanced thermal and oil resistance. The end-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper, which is not a field-adjustable air cushion. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot directly host AirTAC reed or electronic switches; position sensing would require the -S variant.

Secures aluminum engine blocks during CNC machining, utilizing the 402.1 N extend force to hold parts rigidly against the spindle torque.
Drives the mechanical arms that tuck corrugated box flaps prior to sealing, capitalizing on the short riveted body to fit within tight conveyor side frames.
Pushes stamped sheet metal brackets out of progressive dies, where the FKM seals withstand elevated ambient heat and lubricant mist.
When sizing this model, consider stepping down to the SDA25, which yields 245.4 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, or moving up to the SDA40, which provides 628.3 N at the same pressure. For the SDA32X80BH, the computed safe working load is approximately 241 N (about 60% of the 402.1 N figure at 0.5 MPa), translating to a vertical lift capacity of roughly 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Keep in mind that a standard double-acting cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered—the piston will drift, and the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke near its end. To maintain a locked load without live pressure, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Ensure your ordering essentials match this configuration: 32 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, male M10x1.25 rod thread, and FKM seals.
Quick checklist
This double-acting 32 mm bore 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 increases to 563 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa, with an operating pressure range of 0.15-1.0 MPa and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
No, this model relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke and does not feature an adjustable air cushion. Additionally, because it lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot support AirTAC reed or electronic switches. If you require position sensing, you must select the -S variant.
