Airtac STA Single Acting Compact Guided Cylinder STA32X10H
The AirTAC Airtac STA Single Acting Compact Guided Cylinder STA32X10H is a genuine single-acting COMPACT cylinder (single acting, pull type) with a Ø32mm bore and 10mm stroke. Air pulles 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 STA Single Acting Compact Guided Cylinder STA32X10H
The AirTAC STA32X10H is a compact single-acting pull-type cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and 10mm stroke. A built-in spring normally holds the rod extended, while applying air pressure retracts it inward. This unit generates 290.1 N of net pull at 0.5 MPa and 428.3 N at 0.7 MPa, with the return spring force already subtracted from the total output.
Equipped with a high-temperature fluororubber (FKM) seal, this model operates reliably in demanding thermal conditions. The short riveted body minimizes axial mounting depth, fitting easily where standard round-body cylinders cannot. It uses a fixed NBR bumper to decelerate the stroke end, rather than an adjustable cushion, and requires only one air line connected to its PT1/8 port.
Airtac STA Single Acting Compact Guided Cylinder STA32X10H Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac STA Single Acting Compact Guided Cylinder STA32X10H |
|---|---|
| Series | STA compact single-acting cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 10 mm |
| Acting type | Single acting, pull 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, Pull)
| Pressure | Pull force (net) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 290 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 428 N |
These are NET output forces — the return-spring force is already deducted. Single-acting pull only; the spring performs the opposite stroke. Size with a safety margin.

Where the Airtac STA Single Acting Compact Guided Cylinder STA32X10H Is Used
Tension Gate Retraction
Uses the 290.1 N pull to draw a diverter gate back against spring pressure on a packaging line, saving depth with its riveted body.
Carton Flap Hold-Down
Pulls a mechanical arm inward to hold carton flaps during taping, relying on the FKM seal to withstand warm ambient processing zones.
Short-Stroke Pin Extraction
Retracts a 12mm rod to pull a locating pin out of a fixture, utilizing the 10mm stroke for rapid release in automated tooling.
Is the Airtac STA Single Acting Compact Guided Cylinder STA32X10H the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32mm bore unit, consider the neighboring capacities at 0.5 MPa: the STA25 provides 177.7 N, while the STA40 offers 445.1 N. The STA32X10H yields a safe working load of roughly 174 N, assuming a 60 percent safety margin of its 290.1 N rating, translating to a vertical lift capacity of about 14.8 kg with a 2:1 safety factor. Remember the 30mm maximum stroke ceiling for this series.
Because this is a spring-extend design, the rod drives outward upon air loss and will not hold a mid-stroke load without an external locking device. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, meaning it cannot accept reed or electronic switches. It features a 12mm rod, a female M6x1.0 rod-end thread, and operates between 0.2 and 1.0 MPa.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Net pull 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 STA Single Acting Compact Guided Cylinder STA32X10H FAQ
The STA32X10H provides 290.1 N net pull at 0.5 MPa and 428.3 N at 0.7 MPa. Operating pressure must be between 0.2 and 1.0 MPa, requiring at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the internal return spring.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S option, so it lacks a piston magnet and cannot accept reed or electronic switches. You would need the -S variant to utilize the body sensor grooves.
