Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X30B
The AirTAC Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X30B is a genuine single-acting COMPACT cylinder (single acting, push type) with a Ø32mm bore and 30mm 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 SSA32X30B
The AirTAC SSA32X30B is a compact single-acting push-type cylinder where air pressure extends the rod and an internal mechanical spring retracts it. At 0.5 MPa it generates 346.6 N of net push output, with the return spring force already subtracted from the raw air pressure. Because it only needs one air line and one solenoid port to drive the motion, plumbing is vastly simplified for short-stroke ejection tasks.
This specific SKU features a 32 mm bore, a 30 mm stroke at the maximum standard limit, and a male M10x1.25 threaded piston rod. The short riveted body minimizes axial mounting depth inside crowded fixtures. It relies on a fixed NBR bumper to absorb end-of-stroke shock rather than an adjustable cushion, and ships without a piston magnet so it cannot directly host magnetic switches.
Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X30B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X30B |
|---|---|
| Series | SSA compact single-acting cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 30 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 SSA32X30B Is Used
Stamping Pin Ejection
Uses the 346.6 N net push at 0.5 MPa to eject small stamped metal pins from a die, relying on the 30 mm stroke to clear the tooling completely.
Carton Flap Folding
Applies short-stroke force to fold corrugated carton flaps prior to sealing, with the internal spring ensuring immediate retraction when air is cut.
Component Seating Fixture
Presses bearings or bushings into housings on an assembly line, taking advantage of the compact riveted body to fit within multi-station indexing tables.
Is the Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X30B the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore unit, consider the neighboring options: dropping down to the SSA25 yields 216.9 N net push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SSA40 provides 545.6 N at the same pressure. This model provides a safe working load of roughly 208 N, which translates to a vertical lift capacity of about 17.7 kg when applying a 2:1 safety margin.
This configuration includes the B option for a male M10x1.25 rod end thread, a PT1/8 air port, and no S magnet code. Remember the 30 mm stroke ceiling for standard builds. Because the spring drives the rod to its retracted rest position upon air loss, it cannot hold a mid-stroke load without live pressure or an external 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 SSA32X30B 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, this specific SKU lacks the S option, meaning it has no piston magnet and cannot host reed or electronic switches. You would need the SSA32X30BS variant to enable position sensing.
