Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X30S
The AirTAC Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X30S 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 SSA32X30S
The AirTAC SSA32X30S is a compact single-acting push-type cylinder where air pressure extends the rod and an internal spring retracts it. It delivers 346.6 N of net push at 0.5 MPa, with the return spring force already subtracted to give you a true design figure. This 32 mm bore model uses a 12 mm rod and a PT1/8 port.
Featuring a 30 mm stroke at the maximum standard limit, this unit saves axial mounting depth in crowded fixtures compared to round-body alternatives. The riveted body includes sensor grooves, and the built-in magnet allows tracking by AirTAC reed or electronic switches. A fixed NBR bumper handles end-of-stroke deceleration.
Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X30S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X30S |
|---|---|
| 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 SSA32X30S Is Used
Short-Stroke Part Clamping
Uses the 346.6 N net push to secure mild steel brackets during a machining operation, releasing instantly when air pressure is removed.
Package Diverter Ejector
Extends 30 mm to push light cardboard cartons off a main belt, relying on the internal spring to retract quickly between cycles.
Compact Fixture Locator
Fits within a tight riveted body footprint to position aluminum workpieces, using the built-in magnet to confirm extension before welding.
Is the Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X30S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore model, 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. This SSA32X30S provides a balanced 346.6 N, offering a safe working load of roughly 208 N (about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa figure) and a vertical lift capacity of approximately 17.7 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
This configuration features a 30 mm stroke, a PT1/8 port, and the -S magnet option for position sensing. Because it is spring-return, the SSA does not hold a mid-stroke load on air loss; the spring drives the rod back to its retracted rest position. If you require powered motion in both directions or mid-stroke locking, an external rod lock or a double-acting SDA cylinder is required.
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 SSA32X30S FAQ
This single-acting push cylinder provides 346.6 N of net push at 0.5 MPa and 507.5 N at 0.7 MPa. It requires an operating pressure between 0.2 and 1.0 MPa, with a minimum of 0.2 MPa necessary to overcome the internal return spring.
The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for use with AirTAC reed or electronic switches. Because it is spring-return, releasing air pressure causes the spring to drive the rod back to its retracted position; it cannot hold a mid-stroke load without live air pressure.
