Airtac STA Single Acting Compact Guided Cylinder STA32X10N
The AirTAC Airtac STA Single Acting Compact Guided Cylinder STA32X10N 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 STA32X10N
The AirTAC STA32X10N is a compact single-acting pull-type cylinder where air retracts the rod and an internal spring extends it back out. It provides 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 theoretical pneumatic value.
Designed for tight spaces, the short riveted body saves axial mounting depth where a round-body or profile cylinder will not fit. It features a 12 mm piston rod, a PT1/8 air port, and a fixed NBR bumper at each end that decelerates the stroke end without acting as an adjustable lock. This SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot accept reed or electronic switches.
Airtac STA Single Acting Compact Guided Cylinder STA32X10N Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac STA Single Acting Compact Guided Cylinder STA32X10N |
|---|---|
| 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.

| STA | Compact single acting, pull type cylinder series. |
|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×10 | Stroke length in mm (single-acting max 30 mm). |
| S | Built-in magnet for magnetic-switch sensing (omit = none). |

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 STA Single Acting Compact Guided Cylinder STA32X10N Is Used
Clamp Retraction
Uses the 290.1 N net pull to draw a machining clamp back, allowing the internal spring to push it open safely when air pressure drops.
Gate Release
Pulls a diverter gate closed against a 14.8 kg vertical load with a 2:1 margin, relying on the spring to return the gate to an open resting state.
Film Tensioning
Maintains steady tension on packaging webbing by pulling a 10 mm stroke idler arm in, with the fixed NBR bumper absorbing the end shock.
Is the Airtac STA Single Acting Compact Guided Cylinder STA32X10N the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this model, compare its 290.1 N net pull at 0.5 MPa against adjacent bores. Stepping down to the STA25 yields 177.7 N, while stepping up to the STA40 provides 445.1 N. A safe working load is approximately 174 N, allowing a vertical lift of about 14.8 kg with a 2:1 margin.
This configuration has a 10 mm stroke, well under the 30 mm series ceiling. Because the spring drives the rod out upon air loss, it will not hold a mid-stroke load without live pressure. Confirm your requirements for the PT1/8 port, the female M6x1.0 rod-end thread, and the lack of a sensing magnet before ordering.
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 STA32X10N FAQ
The net pull force is 290.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 428.3 N at 0.7 MPa. These figures already account for the internal return spring resistance, meaning the spring force is already subtracted from the pneumatic output.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet and cannot accept reed or electronic switches. You would need the -S option variant to enable sensing. Additionally, it requires at least 0.2 MPa of operating pressure to overcome the spring.
