Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X10
The AirTAC Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X10 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 10mm stroke, PT3/8 air ports and a riveted short body that saves mounting depth. Sensor slots around the body accept magnetic switches for position sensing.

About the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X10
The AirTAC SDA100X10 is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for high-force tasks within a minimal axial footprint. It delivers a substantial 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for heavy-duty operations where space is tight. The hard-anodized bore and two-way piston seal ensure durability across the 30-500 mm/s speed range.
This model features a robust 32 mm piston rod and PT3/8 air ports. End-stopping relies on a fixed NBR bumper which decelerates the stroke end; it is not an adjustable air cushion. Note this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot support magnetic sensing without upgrading to the -S variant.

Where the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X10 Is Used
Press Fit Bearings
Drives a 200 kg vertical load to press bushings into heavy machinery housings, utilizing the 3927 N push force within a tight 10mm travel.
Plastic Injection Unloading
Ejects dense molded parts from an injection press, where the short riveted body minimizes machine footprint and maximizes clamping clearance.
Metal Stamping Ejection
Provides high-force ejection of thick steel blanks from a stamping die, requiring the robust 32 mm rod to withstand impact without side load.
Is the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X10 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, compare its 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa against the smaller SDA80, which yields 2513.3 N. If you need to step up force beyond this 100mm bore, it represents the maximum standard diameter in the SDA family. A computed safe working load is roughly 2356 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa figure), allowing a vertical lift of approximately 200.2 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
Remember that a plain compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end rather than locking the load. To hold a vertical load securely, incorporate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Confirm your ordering essentials: 100mm bore, 10mm stroke, PT3/8 port, female rod thread, and no magnet.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Short-body depth vs. a round-body cylinder
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT)
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Female (blank) or male (B) rod thread
- ✓ Side load — avoid on a compact rod
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the short piston rod.
- check Very long strokes are unsuitable for the compact body.
- check Front/rear covers are riveted — do not dismantle.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X10 FAQ
This 100mm bore double-acting cylinder provides 3927 N push and 3524.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 5497.8 N push at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates between 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and supports speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
This specific SKU lacks the internal piston magnet, so it cannot accept reed or electronic switches unless you specify the -S option. Additionally, end-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper, not an adjustable air cushion, so external shock absorbers are advised for high-speed impacts.
