About the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X100
The AirTAC SDA100X100 is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for heavy-duty pneumatics within confined axial footprints. Utilizing a riveted assembly that joins the barrel, rear cover, piston, and 32mm rod, it achieves a remarkably short overall length compared to conventional round-body units. Operating at 0.15-1.0 MPa, it generates 3927 N of push force and 3524.9 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, with a theoretical maximum output of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
This model features a hard-anodized bore and a two-way piston seal for leak-free operation. End-of-travel deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper at each end, which absorbs impact energy but is not a field-adjustable air cushion. This specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, meaning it cannot support AirTAC reed or electronic switches; position sensing requires the -S variant. The PT3/8 air ports and female M18x1.5 rod-end thread ensure robust flow and secure load coupling for high-demand cycles.

Where the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X100 Is Used
Stamping Press Ejection
Ejects heavy formed metal panels from a 400-ton stamping press, utilizing the 3927 N push force to overcome material friction and clear the die area rapidly.
Palletizer Lift Station
Raises lower-tier pallets in a high-speed packaging line, where the short riveted body minimizes vertical space requirements and handles the 200.2 kg safe lift capacity efficiently.
Heavy-Duty Guiding Arm
Acts as a robust actuation point for a multi-axis guiding arm in an automotive assembly fixture, pushing components into weld position with precise 100mm travel.
Is the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X100 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting the SDA100X100 is appropriate when your application demands substantial thrust within a tight machinery envelope. If you need to step down, the SDA80 provides 2513.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, offering a more compact footprint and lower air consumption for lighter tasks.
When ordering, confirm the 100mm bore, 100mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, and female M18x1.5 rod-end thread. Remember that a plain compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke end and does not function as a locking brake. If your process requires strict position holding under load loss, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
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 SDA100X100 FAQ
The SDA100X100 generates 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 force is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates between 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and functions at speeds of 30-500 mm/s across a temperature range of -20 to +70 C.
No, this model relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to absorb impact energy; it does not use a field-adjustable air cushion. For high-speed or high-energy cycles, you should slow the approach speed or mount an external shock absorber to prevent premature wear.
