Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X5SB
The AirTAC Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X5SB 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 SSA32X5SB
The AirTAC SSA32X5SB is a compact single-acting push-type cylinder where air pressure extends the rod and an internal spring handles the retraction. It generates 346.6 N of net push at 0.5 MPa, meaning the return spring force is already subtracted from the raw air pressure. This yields a safe working load of roughly 208 N, or a vertical lift capacity of about 17.7 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
Designed for tight fixtures, the short riveted body saves axial mounting depth compared to standard round-body alternatives. This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet for AirTAC reed or electronic switches, plus a male M10x1.25 threaded rod end for direct mounting. A fixed NBR bumper absorbs end-of-stroke shock, as there is no adjustable air cushion.
Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X5SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X5SB |

| 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 |

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 SSA32X5SB Is Used
Short-Stroke Part Ejection
Uses the 346.6 N net push to eject machined components from a fixture, with the spring safely retracting the rod when air is removed.
Male-Thread Clamping
Leverages the M10x1.25 male rod end to secure custom clamps, applying holding force in confined assembly spaces.
Position Verification
Relies on the built-in magnet with an electronic switch to confirm the 5 mm extension state during automated testing.
Is the Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X5SB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to the SSA25 yields 216.9 N of net push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SSA40 provides 545.6 N. This model features a 5 mm stroke, well within the 30 mm maximum standard limit. Because it is spring-returned, the SSA32X5SB does not hold a mid-stroke load without live air pressure; an external rod lock would be required for that function.
This unit requires an operating pressure of 0.2-1.0 MPa to overcome the internal spring. It connects via a PT1/8 port and includes the -S magnet and -B male rod thread options. The piston rod measures 12 mm in diameter, and the cylinder operates at speeds between 50-500 mm/s.
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 SSA32X5SB 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.
Air extends the rod while an internal spring retracts it. You must supply at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring. The cylinder does not hold a mid-stroke load without live air pressure.
