About the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X10BH
The AirTAC SDA100X10BH is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation within a minimal axial footprint. Its riveted assembly merges the barrel, rear cover, and piston to drastically reduce mounting depth 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. This specific SKU includes an FKM fluororubber seal for enhanced thermal and oil resistance, alongside a male M26x1.5 threaded piston rod for secure load coupling.
Designed without an adjustable air cushion, the cylinder relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke. Because this short 10 mm stroke operates within a 30-500 mm/s speed range, the fixed bumper is adequate for standard cycling, though external shock absorbers are advised for high-energy moves. Note that this configuration omits the piston magnet, meaning it cannot support AirTAC reed or electronic switches.

Where the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X10BH Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Provides a short 10 mm ejection stroke inside tight mold platens, utilizing the 3927 N push force to knock finished plastic parts out of the tooling cavity.
Heavy Stamping Clamp
Secures thick steel plates in a stamping press, where the 100 mm bore and male M26x1.5 rod deliver rigid holding power before the press cycles.
Press Fit Assembly
Drives bearings into heavy machinery housings, applying up to 5497.8 N of thrust at 0.7 MPa while fitting into shallow machine frames.
Is the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X10BH the Right Cylinder?
If your application requires slightly less force, the SDA80 offers 2513.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa. Since 100 mm is the largest bore in the SDA series, stepping up beyond this requires exploring alternative non-compact profiles. Ensure you specify the PT3/8 port, the male M26x1.5 rod thread, and the FKM seal when ordering.
Keep in mind that a standard double-acting cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered. The piston will drift, and the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the rod near the stroke end rather than acting as a mechanical lock. If your machinery must maintain a load safely 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 SDA100X10BH FAQ
This 100 mm bore cylinder delivers a push force of 3927 N and a pull force of 3524.9 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 5497.8 N. The theoretical maximum push is 801 kgf at the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks the internal piston magnet, so it cannot trigger AirTAC reed or electronic switches. You would need the SDA100X10SBH variant for sensing capabilities. Additionally, it uses a fixed NBR bumper for end deceleration, not an adjustable air cushion.
