Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X10
The AirTAC Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X10 is a genuine single-acting COMPACT cylinder (single acting, push type) with a Ø32mm 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.

About the Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X10
The AirTAC SSA32X10 is a compact single-acting push-type cylinder where air pressure extends the rod and an internal spring retracts it. It provides a net push of 346.6 N at 0.5 MPa, meaning the return spring force is already subtracted to give a real design figure. The short riveted body saves axial mounting depth where round-body or profile cylinders will not fit.
This unit requires only one air line and one solenoid port to drive the motion, simplifying plumbing and reducing fitting costs. It features a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke end, which is not an adjustable air cushion. With a 12 mm piston rod and a 10 mm stroke, it operates efficiently at speeds of 50-500 mm/s.
Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X10 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X10 |
|---|---|
| Series | SSA compact single-acting cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 10 mm |
| Acting type | Single acting, push type |
| Port size | PT1/8 |
| Rod end thread | M6×1.0 female / M10×1.25 male (B) |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.2 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 50 – 500 mm/s |
| Cushion | Fixed NBR bumper |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 30 mm |
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.
Net Output Force (Ø32mm, Push)
| Pressure | Push force (net) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 347 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 508 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.

Where the Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X10 Is Used
Short-Stroke Part Ejection
Uses the 346.6 N net push to eject machined components from a fixture, with the spring returning the rod automatically when air is cut.
Transfer Line Diverter
Employs the single air line and compact riveted body to fit within tight conveyor frames, pushing items onto a secondary track.
Pneumatic Clamping Arm
Applies the 10 mm stroke to hold light workpieces securely in place during assembly, relying on the fixed NBR bumper to absorb the end shock.
Is the Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X10 the Right Cylinder?
Size this model by comparing its 346.6 N net push at 0.5 MPa with adjacent bores. Stepping down, the SSA25 yields 216.9 N, while stepping up, the SSA40 provides 545.6 N. A safe working load is approximately 208 N, offering a 2:1 margin for a vertical lift of about 17.7 kg. The standard stroke ceiling is 30 mm, and this 10 mm version respects that limit.
Confirm the bore is 32 mm, stroke is 10 mm, and the port is PT1/8. This SKU has no piston magnet, so it cannot take a magnetic switch; add the -S option for reed or electronic sensing. Because the spring drives the rod to rest on air loss, it does not hold a mid-stroke load. The rod-end thread is female M6x1.0, or male M10x1.25 if the B option is specified.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Net push force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke ≤ 30 mm (single-acting limit)
- ✓ Single air line saves a valve/port
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Female (blank) or male (B) rod thread
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.2 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Remember the spring performs the return stroke.
- check Avoid side load on the short piston rod.
- check Front/rear covers are riveted — do not dismantle.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X10 FAQ
The SSA32X10 delivers a net push of 346.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 507.5 N at 0.7 MPa. These figures already account for the internal return spring resistance, providing the actual usable force.
No, the internal spring drives the rod back to its retracted rest position on air loss. It cannot hold a mid-stroke load. Additionally, a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa is required to overcome the spring.
