Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X25B
The AirTAC Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X25B is a genuine single-acting COMPACT cylinder (single acting, push type) with a Ø32mm bore and 25mm 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 SSA32X25B
The AirTAC SSA32X25B 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 at 0.5 MPa, meaning the opposing spring force is already subtracted from the raw pneumatic power. This 32 mm bore unit features a male M10x1.25 threaded rod end and a PT1/8 port.
Its short riveted body saves axial mounting depth where a larger profile cylinder will not fit. Because it requires only one air line and one solenoid port to drive the motion, you reduce fitting complexity and valve costs. The stroke ends are managed by a fixed NBR bumper that decelerates impact, rather than an adjustable air cushion.
Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X25B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X25B |
|---|---|
| Series | SSA compact single-acting cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 25 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 SSA32X25B Is Used
Fixture Clamping
Delivers 346.6 N of net clamping force at 0.5 MPa to secure aluminum housings during machining operations.
Part Diverter
Uses the 25 mm stroke to push small cardboard cartons off a main production belt into a packing lane.
Flap Folding
Extends to fold packaging flaps prior to sealing, relying on the internal spring to retract clear of the box.
Is the Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X25B the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this model, compare the 346.6 N net push at 0.5 MPa against adjacent 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. The 25 mm stroke sits comfortably under the 30 mm maximum limit for this series.
Remember that on air loss the internal spring drives the rod to its retracted rest position, so it cannot hold a mid-stroke load without live pressure. This specific SSA32X25B configuration includes the male M10x1.25 piston rod and lacks the -S magnet option, meaning it cannot support reed or electronic switches.
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 SSA32X25B 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.
It requires at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the internal return spring and extend the rod. Because it is single-acting push type, releasing the air lets the spring retract the rod to rest.
