Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X10B
The AirTAC Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X10B 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 SSA32X10B
The AirTAC SSA32X10B is a compact single-acting push-type cylinder where air pressure extends the rod and an internal spring retracts it. It generates 346.6 N of net push force at 0.5 MPa, meaning the return spring's resistance is already subtracted from the raw pneumatic force. This 32 mm bore model features a 10 mm stroke and a male M10x1.25 threaded rod end.
Designed with a short riveted body, this unit minimizes axial mounting depth in tight machinery where larger profile cylinders cannot fit. It requires only one air line and one solenoid port to operate, cutting plumbing complexity. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper, which absorbs shock but is not an adjustable cushion or a locking mechanism.
Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X10B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X10B |
|---|---|
| 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 SSA32X10B Is Used
Short-Stroke Part Ejection
Uses the 346.6 N net push to positively eject machined components from a fixture, with the spring returning the rod automatically when air is cut.
Male-Thread Clamping Pin
Leverages the M10x1.25 male rod end to thread directly into a custom clamp arm, securing workpieces in a confined assembly station.
Compact Riveting Anvil
Fits into shallow machine frames via its short riveted body to provide a brief 10 mm pressing action for light riveting tasks.
Is the Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X10B the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, compare the 346.6 N net push at 0.5 MPa against adjacent bores: the SSA25 provides 216.9 N, while the SSA40 yields 545.6 N. A practical safe working load is roughly 208 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa figure), allowing a vertical lift of approximately 17.7 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The maximum standard stroke for this series is 30 mm.
This specific configuration includes a male M10x1.25 piston rod and a PT1/8 port. Because it lacks the -S option, there is no piston magnet and it cannot accept magnetic switches. Remember that upon air loss, the spring drives the rod to its retracted rest position; it will not hold a mid-stroke load without external live pressure or a separate locking device.
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 SSA32X10B FAQ
The net push force is 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, giving you the true usable output for your design calculations.
No. It requires at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring and extend. If air is released or lost, the spring immediately retracts the rod to its rest position. It cannot hold a mid-stroke load without external mechanical locking.
