Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X5H
The AirTAC Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X5H is a genuine single-acting COMPACT cylinder (single acting, push type) with a Ø32mm bore and 5mm 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 SSA32X5H
The AirTAC SSA32X5H is a compact single-acting push-type cylinder where air extends the rod and an internal spring retracts it. Utilizing a 32 mm bore and a short 5 mm stroke, it generates 346.6 N of net push force at 0.5 MPa. This FKM (fluororubber) seal variant provides enhanced resistance to higher temperatures and oils compared to standard NBR.
The riveted body design minimizes axial mounting depth, fitting easily into crowded fixtures. Because it is single-acting, only one air line and solenoid port are required to drive the motion, simplifying plumbing. The quoted force is already net of the return spring, giving you a true design figure rather than raw air pressure. End-of-stroke shock is managed by a fixed NBR bumper, which decelerates the piston without acting as a lock.
Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X5H Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X5H |
|---|---|
| Series | SSA compact single-acting cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 5 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 SSA32X5H Is Used
Hot Stamp Ejection
Uses the 346.6 N net push and FKM seals to eject small parts from heated stamping dies without seal degradation.
Oily Part Diverter
Briefly extends 5 mm to deflect lubricated components on a conveyor, relying on the spring return for simple cycling.
Pallet Stop Gate
Acts as a compact 32 mm bore stop gate in tight pallet handling zones where axial space is strictly limited.
Is the Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X5H the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this model, consider the neighboring bores: stepping down to the SSA25 yields 216.9 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SSA40 provides 545.6 N. This SSA32X5H configuration specifies a 32 mm bore, 5 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female M6x1.0 rod-end thread, and no piston magnet. It requires an operating pressure of 0.2-1.0 MPa to overcome the internal spring.
Based on the 346.6 N output at 0.5 MPa, a safe working load is approximately 208 N (60 percent capacity), translating to a vertical lift capability of roughly 17.7 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Remember that on air loss, the spring drives the rod back to its retracted state; it will not hold a mid-stroke load without external live pressure or a separate 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 SSA32X5H FAQ
This single-acting cylinder provides a net push force of 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, this specific SKU lacks the -S option and therefore has no piston magnet. You cannot mount reed or electronic switches to it; you would need the -S variant to enable sensing.
