The AirTAC Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA25X10SB is a genuine single-acting COMPACT cylinder (single acting, push type) with a Ø25mm bore and 10mm stroke. Air pushes the rod and an internal spring returns it, so one solenoid line drives the motion — ideal for short-stroke clamping and ejection in tight spaces.
The AirTAC SSA25X10SB is a compact single-acting push-type cylinder where air pressure extends the rod and an internal spring retracts it. It delivers 216.9 N of net push force at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for short-stroke clamping and ejection tasks.
This model includes a built-in piston magnet for position sensing and a male M8x1.25 threaded rod end. The short riveted body minimizes axial mounting depth in tight fixtures, and a fixed NBR bumper absorbs end-of-stroke shock without requiring adjustable cushions.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SDA-family datasheet. Single-acting types start at 0.2 MPa (the spring must be overcome). Confirm against the product label before installation.
| Pressure | Push force (net) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 217 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 315 N |
These are NET output forces — the return-spring force is already deducted. Single-acting push only; the spring performs the opposite stroke. Size with a safety margin.

Thread: PT standard. SSA pushes out / spring returns; STA pulls in / spring extends. Related: SDA (double acting), SDAD (double rod), SDAJ (adjustable stroke).
Uses the 216.9 N net push at 0.5 MPa to eject small stamped pins from a die, relying on the internal spring to retract the rod quickly between cycles.
The short 10 mm stroke actuates a diverter gate to sort lightweight cartons on a conveyor, fitting into the narrow frame clearance.
Applies holding pressure against a workpiece during pallet assembly, with the male M8x1.25 rod threading directly into the clamp jaw.
When sizing this 25 mm bore actuator, consider the neighboring bores: the SSA20 provides 134.1 N at 0.5 MPa, while the SSA32 offers 346.6 N. The 216.9 N output at 0.5 MPa supports a safe working load of roughly 130 N or a vertical lift of about 11.1 kg with a 2:1 margin. Standard strokes max out at 30 mm; this 10 mm stroke fits well within limits.
This configuration includes the -S magnet for AirTAC reed or electronic switches and the -B option for a male M8x1.25 rod thread. The port size is M5x0.8. Remember that the spring drives retraction upon air loss, so the cylinder cannot hold a mid-stroke load without external locking devices.
Quick checklist
The net push force is 216.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 315.1 N at 0.7 MPa. These figures already account for the force subtracted by the internal return spring.
No. It requires at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring and extend. If air is released, the spring drives the rod back to its retracted rest position. It cannot hold a mid-stroke load without an external rod lock.
