The AirTAC AirTAC SDA32X80SB 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 SDA32X80SB 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 significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body units, making it highly effective for machines where footprint matters. The bore is hard-anodized and operates at speeds between 30 and 500 mm/s.
This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for position sensing via AirTAC reed or electronic switches, and a male M10x1.25 threaded piston rod (-B) for secure load coupling. End-stops rely on a fixed NBR bumper that decelerates the piston near stroke end rather than an adjustable air cushion. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa.

Drives a Z-axis cutting head on an electronics PCB depaneling router, utilizing the 80 mm stroke to lift the spindle clear of the workbed for tool changes.
Actuates a routing flap on a beverage packaging conveyor, relying on the 402.1 N push force to redirect filled glass containers without hesitation.
Pushes raw hex stock into a collet chuck, where the male M10x1.25 rod end securely threads into the pusher mechanism to maintain alignment.
Choosing this 32 mm bore provides a safe working load of roughly 241 N (about 60% of the 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa), translating to a vertical lift capacity of approximately 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. If you need less force, the SDA25 offers 245.4 N at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the SDA40 yields 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa. Keep in mind that a standard compact cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve centers, as the fixed bumper only decelerates near the end of travel and does not function as a lock. For suspended loads, utilize an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. When ordering, confirm the 80 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, male M10x1.25 rod, and the required magnetic sensor.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder generates 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum push of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa.
No, it uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, which is not a field-adjustable air cushion. Additionally, it will not hold a load if air is lost; the piston drifts, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for suspended loads.
