About the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X100B
The AirTAC SDA100X100B is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation within a minimal axial footprint. Its riveted assembly significantly reduces overall length compared to conventional round-body units, delivering a robust 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. This specific configuration includes a male-thread piston rod end (M26x1.5) for secure mechanical load coupling, operating on a 32 mm rod.
Designed for demanding cycles, the hard-anodized bore operates at speeds from 30-500 mm/s. End-stop energy is managed strictly by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable cushion, meaning high-mass approaches should be slowed externally. Note that this SKU lacks a piston magnet, so position sensing is not supported without the -S option.

Where the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X100B Is Used
Stamping Press Ejection
Provides the high 5497.8 N extend force at 0.7 MPa needed to knock heavy stamped metal panels out of progressive die tooling safely.
Palletizer Lift Station
Raises 200 kg product tiers within compact vertical lift modules where the short riveted body prevents interference with upper machine guards.
Heavy Profile Squaring
Utilizes the rigid 32 mm rod and male M26x1.5 thread to push thick aluminum extrusions squarely against a machining stop fixture.
Is the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X100B the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 100 mm bore model provides a theoretical maximum push of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa, with a computed safe working load around 2356 N (approximately 60% of the 0.5 MPa rating) and a vertical lift capacity near 200.2 kg using a 2:1 safety margin. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the SDA80 yields 2513.3 N at 0.5 MPa; as the largest available frame, there is no larger standard SDA option. Ensure you specify the PT3/8 ports, the 100 mm stroke, and the male M26x1.5 rod thread for your ordering code.
Because this is a standard double-acting cylinder, the piston will drift and drop its load if air pressure is lost or the control valve is centered. The fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the rod near the stroke ends and does not function as a locking brake. For vertical or suspended loads that must remain stationary during a pneumatic failure, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your system.
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 SDA100X100B FAQ
This 100 mm bore cylinder features PT3/8 ports and generates a push of 3927 N and a pull of 3524.9 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 5497.8 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet, so it cannot host AirTAC reed or electronic switches. You would need to specify the -S option to enable sensing. Additionally, it uses a fixed NBR bumper for end deceleration, not an adjustable air cushion.
