Airtac STA Single Acting Compact Guided Cylinder STA32X10S
The AirTAC Airtac STA Single Acting Compact Guided Cylinder STA32X10S 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 STA32X10S
The AirTAC STA32X10S is a compact single-acting pull-type cylinder where air retracts the rod and an internal spring extends it out. It provides 290.1 N of net pull at 0.5 MPa and 428.3 N at 0.7 MPa. The short riveted body saves axial mounting depth where a round-body cylinder will not fit.
This 32 mm bore unit uses a 12 mm rod and a PT1/8 port. The built-in magnet allows position detection via AirTAC reed or electronic switches. A fixed NBR bumper decelerates the stroke end, offering a safe working load of roughly 174 N, which equates to a vertical lift capacity of about 14.8 kg with a 2:1 margin.
Airtac STA Single Acting Compact Guided Cylinder STA32X10S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac STA Single Acting Compact Guided Cylinder STA32X10S |
|---|---|
| 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.

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 STA32X10S Is Used
Tension Gate Release
Uses the 290.1 N net pull to retract a guide gate against spring tension, opening the belt lane when air is applied.
Hold-Down Clamp
Pulls a lightweight hold-down arm out of the way during carton loading, letting the spring extend the arm to secure the flap.
Component Ejector
Retracts an ejection pin to clear a machined part, with the internal spring pushing the pin back to its ready position.
Is the Airtac STA Single Acting Compact Guided Cylinder STA32X10S the Right Cylinder?
Size this model against its neighbors: the STA25 yields 177.7 N at 0.5 MPa, while the STA40 provides 445.1 N at 0.5 MPa. This STA32X10S sits comfortably in the middle for medium tension tasks.
Confirm the 32 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, and PT1/8 port. The -S code denotes the internal magnet for sensors, and the female M6x1.0 rod thread is standard. Remember the 30 mm stroke ceiling and that the spring extends the rod on air loss; it will not hold a mid-stroke load without external pressure.
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 STA32X10S 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, so you size directly to these values.
Air pressure retracts the rod, requiring at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring. When air is released, the spring extends the rod back out. The -S magnet works with AirTAC reed or electronic switches.
