About the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X10B
The AirTAC SDA100X10B is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered to deliver immense thrust within a minimal axial footprint. It generates 3927 N of push force and 3524.9 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, achieving a theoretical maximum of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The riveted unibody construction integrates the barrel, rear cover, and piston to drastically reduce overall length compared to conventional round-body units, making it ideal for tight machine envelopes.
This specific configuration includes a male-thread piston rod end (M26x1.5) for secure mechanical load coupling, paired with a robust 32 mm rod and PT3/8 ports. The bore is hard-anodized for longevity, while a fixed NBR bumper at each end absorbs end-stop impact. Note that this SKU lacks a piston magnet, so position sensing is not supported without the -S option. With a short 10 mm stroke, it provides rapid, high-force actuation for heavy-duty clamping or pressing tasks.

Where the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X10B Is Used
Heavy-Duty Stamping Press
Drives a short 10 mm stamping action in automotive sheet metal forming, using its 5497.8 N extend force at 0.7 MPa to punch or mark thick steel plates reliably.
Injection Mold Clamping
Secures heavy mold halves in plastic injection machinery, utilizing the male M26x1.5 rod thread for rigid coupling and the compact riveted body to fit within cramped tooling platens.
Industrial Riveting Head
Applies concentrated axial pressure to set rivets in heavy equipment assembly lines, where the 32 mm rod withstands high impact loads and the fixed NBR bumper cushions the sudden end stop.
Is the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X10B the Right Cylinder?
If your application requires less force, stepping down to the SDA80 offers 2513.3 N at 0.5 MPa, which may better suit medium-duty setups while saving physical space. When ordering, confirm the 10 mm stroke, PT3/8 porting, and the male M26x1.5 rod thread. Keep in mind that a plain compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke end and does not function as a locking brake. If your setup demands fail-safe load holding, incorporate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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 SDA100X10B FAQ
This 100 mm bore double-acting cylinder provides a push force of 3927 N and a pull force of 3524.9 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 5497.8 N and pull is 4934.8 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates between 0.15-1.0 MPa, handles speeds of 30-500 mm/s, and functions in temperatures from -20 to +70 C.
No, the piston will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered; an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for fail-safe holding. Additionally, it uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, which is not an adjustable air cushion. For high-energy cycles, you should add an external shock absorber or slow the approach speed.
