About the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X100BH
The AirTAC SDA100X100BH is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for heavy-duty pneumatics within a minimal axial footprint. Its riveted assembly integrates the barrel, rear cover, piston, and 32 mm rod to drastically reduce mounting depth compared to conventional round-body units. At 100 mm bore, it generates 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling to 5497.8 N at 0.7 MPa.
This specific SKU includes a male M26x1.5 threaded piston rod end for robust mechanical load coupling and an FKM fluororubber seal for enhanced thermal and oil resistance. The bore is hard-anodized, and end-stops rely on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. Because this configuration lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot host magnetic position switches.

Where the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X100BH Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Drives heavy mold ejector pins in plastic injection machinery where the 5497.8 N extend force at 0.7 MPa reliably strips large formed parts from the cavity.
Heavy Press Staging
Positions thick steel blanks under a hydraulic press, utilizing the 32 mm male-threaded rod to securely shoulder the weight of heavy tooling fixtures.
Pallet Lifter Actuation
Raises and lowers automated palletizer forks, lifting approximately 200.2 kg per cylinder while maintaining a short retracted length to fit within tight machine frames.
Is the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X100BH the Right Cylinder?
If your application requires less force, stepping down to the SDA80 yields 2513.3 N at 0.5 MPa; as the largest standard size, there is no larger SDA bore. Ensure your ordering essentials match this SKU: 100 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, male M26x1.5 rod, and FKM seals.
Keep in mind that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not function as a locking brake. If your machinery must hold a load securely without live pressure, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into the 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 SDA100X100BH FAQ
This 100 mm bore double-acting cylinder 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 is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates between 0.15-1.0 MPa, has a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and runs at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
No. This specific SKU lacks the -S piston magnet, so it cannot accept reed or electronic switches. Additionally, it uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke end rather than an adjustable air cushion; for high-energy cycles, add an external shock absorber or slow the approach speed.
