About the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X100SB
The AirTAC SDA100X100SB is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for heavy-duty pneumatic actuation within a minimal axial footprint. Its riveted assembly integrates the barrel, rear cover, piston, and rod to drastically reduce mounting depth compared to conventional round-body units, delivering a substantial 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa. This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet for position sensing and a male-thread piston rod end for secure mechanical load coupling.
Designed without an adjustable air cushion, the bore relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to absorb end-stop impact. Operating at speeds between 30-500 mm/s, this 100 mm bore unit accepts PT3/8 ports and features a hard-anodized inner wall to minimize friction. Because the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke near its limits, high-energy cycles may require an external shock absorber to prevent premature wear.

Where the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X100SB Is Used
Stamping Press Ejection
Provides the high 3927 N extend force needed to knock heavy steel blanks from progressive stamping dies, utilizing the 100 mm stroke to clear the lower die shoe entirely.
Palletizer Lift Station
Raises lowerator forks carrying assembled product pallets, where the male M26x1.5 rod end secures the heavy tooling plate and the compact body saves vertical machine height.
Heavy Carton Sealing
Drives the main folding plow on automated corrugated box sealers, applying consistent pressure to secure large industrial packaging flaps during high-speed adhesive application.
Is the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X100SB the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 100 mm bore model provides a maximum theoretical push of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa, with a computed safe working load of roughly 2356 N (about 60% of the 3927 N figure at 0.5 MPa) and a vertical lift capacity of approximately 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 your ordering essentials match the 100 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, built-in magnet (-S), and male M26x1.5 rod thread (-B).
Remember that a standard compact cylinder does not hold its position when air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The piston will drift, and the fixed NBR bumper cannot function as a locking brake. If your machinery demands fail-safe load holding, 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 SDA100X100SB FAQ
This 100 mm bore double-acting cylinder generates a push of 3927 N and a pull of 3524.9 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 5497.8 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 801 kgf when operated at the 1.0 MPa pressure limit.
No, the piston will drift downward if air pressure drops or the valve is centered. The fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the rod near the stroke end and does not act as a locking brake. For vertical load holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
