Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X10S
The AirTAC Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X10S 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 SSA32X10S
The AirTAC SSA32X10S is a compact single-acting push-type cylinder where air extends the rod and an internal spring retracts it. It delivers a net push of 346.6 N at 0.5 MPa, meaning the return spring force is already subtracted from the raw pneumatic pressure. This thin riveted body saves axial mounting depth where a larger round-body unit will not fit.
Because it requires only one air line and one solenoid port, plumbing is drastically simplified. The built-in piston magnet (-S) supports position detection using either a reed or electronic switch mounted in the body grooves. A fixed NBR bumper decelerates the stroke end, offering end-of-travel cushioning that is not adjustable.
Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X10S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X10S |
|---|---|
| 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 SSA32X10S Is Used
Short-Stroke Part Clamping
Uses the 346.6 N net push to secure aluminum housings during CNC machining, relying on the spring return to release the part instantly when air is cut.
Package Diverter Gate
Extends 10 mm to pop a routing flap into a conveyor line, with the single air line keeping valve and fitting costs to an absolute minimum.
Ejector for Stamped Parts
Pushes small metal stampings out of a die cavity, where the compact riveted body fits into tight press tooling without adding bulk.
Is the Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X10S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, compare its 346.6 N net push at 0.5 MPa against adjacent bores: the SSA25 yields 216.9 N, while the SSA40 provides 545.6 N. A practical safe working load is roughly 208 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa figure), which translates to a vertical lift capacity of approximately 17.7 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
This model has a 10 mm stroke, well under the 30 mm maximum for the series. It requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring. If air pressure is lost, the spring drives the rod back to its rest position; it will not hold a mid-stroke load without live pressure or an external lock. Configuration: 32 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, M6x1.0 female rod thread, with the -S magnet installed.
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 SSA32X10S FAQ
The net push force is 346.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 507.5 N at 0.7 MPa. These values already account for the internal return spring resistance, giving you the true usable output for your design calculations.
No. Air extends the rod and the internal spring retracts it. If air is removed, the spring forces the rod back to the retracted rest position. It cannot hold a mid-stroke load and requires at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring.
