Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X5N
The AirTAC SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X5N 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 SSA32X5N
The AirTAC SSA32X5N is a compact single-acting push-type cylinder where air pressure extends the rod and an internal spring retracts it. It supplies 346.6 N of net push at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for short-stroke clamping tasks. The quoted force is already net of the return spring, giving a reliable design figure.
Its thin riveted body saves axial mounting depth where round-body or profile cylinders will not fit. A fixed NBR bumper decelerates the stroke end, and it requires only one air line and solenoid port to drive the motion.
Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X5N Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X5N |
|---|---|
| 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.
Model Code: Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X5N
| SSA | Compact single acting, push type cylinder series. |
|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×5 | Stroke length in mm (single-acting max 30 mm). |
| S | Built-in magnet for magnetic-switch sensing (omit = none). |
| B | Male-thread piston rod (omit = female thread). |
Thread: PT standard. SSA pushes out / spring returns; STA pulls in / spring extends. Related: SDA (double acting), SDAD (double rod), SDAJ (adjustable stroke).
Where the Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X5N Is Used
Short-Stroke Part Clamping
Uses the 346.6 N net push at 0.5 MPa to secure workpieces in machining fixtures without occupying valuable axial space.
Transfer Line Ejection
Employs the 5 mm stroke to push small components off a conveyor belt rapidly before the internal spring retracts the rod.
Alignment Stopper
Acts as a brief positioning barrier for incoming materials, relying on the fixed NBR bumper to absorb the end shock.
Is the Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X5N the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, the SSA25 provides 216.9 N at 0.5 MPa, while the larger SSA40 yields 545.6 N. The 5 mm stroke respects the 30 mm maximum ceiling.
Because the spring drives the rod back on air loss, the SSA32X5N does not hold a mid-stroke load. This base SKU lacks the -S magnet and cannot take a switch. It uses a PT1/8 port, a 12 mm rod, and a female M6x1.0 rod-end thread.
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 SSA32X5N 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. These values already subtract the internal return spring force.
No, this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option and cannot accept reed or electronic switches. You would need the -S variant for position sensing.
