Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X10SB
The AirTAC Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X10SB 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 SSA32X10SB
The AirTAC SSA32X10SB is a compact single-acting push-type cylinder where air pressure extends the rod and an internal spring retracts it. It yields 346.6 N of net push at 0.5 MPa, with the return spring force already subtracted for accurate sizing. The short riveted body minimizes axial mounting depth, fitting easily into tight fixtures where longer cylinders cannot.
This specific build includes a male M10x1.25 piston rod and a built-in magnetic piston for position sensing. A single air line and one solenoid port drive the motion, cutting plumbing complexity. The fixed NBR bumper decelerates the stroke end but does not act as an adjustable air cushion.
Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X10SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X10SB |
|---|---|
| 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 SSA32X10SB Is Used
Short-Stroke Part Ejection
Uses the 346.6 N net push to eject machined components from a fixture quickly before the spring retracts the rod.
Male Rod Clamping
Threads the M10x1.25 male rod end directly into a clamp arm to secure workpieces during light machining.
Compact Press Fitting
Leverages the short 10mm stroke and riveted body to press small pins into assemblies within a crowded cell.
Is the Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X10SB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32mm bore, compare its 346.6 N net push at 0.5 MPa with neighboring bores. Stepping down, the SSA25 provides 216.9 N, while stepping up, the SSA40 yields 545.6 N at the same pressure. A practical safe working load is roughly 208 N, allowing a vertical lift of about 17.7 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
This model carries a 10mm stroke, well under the 30mm maximum limit. It features a PT1/8 port, a male M10x1.25 rod thread, and a built-in magnet for reed or electronic switches. Remember the spring drives the rod back upon air loss, so it cannot hold a mid-stroke load without external locking.
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 SSA32X10SB 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.
No. The internal spring drives the rod back to its retracted rest position when air is released, meaning it cannot hold a mid-stroke load. It also requires at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring.
