About the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X10H
The AirTAC SDA100X10H is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered for heavy-duty operations within a minimal axial footprint. Its riveted assembly integrates the barrel, rear cover, and piston to drastically reduce mounting depth compared to conventional round-body units, delivering a substantial 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa. This specific SKU features an FKM (fluororubber) seal variant, providing enhanced thermal and oil resistance for demanding environments.
Driven by a 100 mm bore and a 32 mm rod, this model utilizes PT3/8 air ports to manage high flow rates. The internal end-stop relies on a fixed NBR bumper to decelerate the piston, which is not an adjustable air cushion. Because this configuration lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot support magnetic position sensing without modifying the build.

Where the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X10H Is Used
Injection Molding Ejection
Provides high-force ejection of molded plastic parts from heavy tooling, where the short 10 mm stroke and FKM seals withstand residual heat and oily environments.
Heavy Stamping Press Feed
Acts as a rugged compact actuator for short-travel gripping and feeding of thick sheet metal into a mechanical press, saving valuable machine footprint.
Automotive Welding Clamp
Drives high-pressure spot welding guns on automotive assembly lines, utilizing the 100 mm bore's 3927 N push to secure heavy chassis components firmly.
Is the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X10H the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 100 mm bore provides a theoretical maximum push of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa, translating to a safe working load of roughly 2356 N or a vertical lift capacity of about 200.2 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the SDA80 yields 2513.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, making this model the top tier in the series. When ordering, confirm the 10 mm stroke, PT3/8 porting, female M18x1.5 rod thread, and the high-temperature FKM seal. Keep in mind that a standard compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only decelerates near the stroke end and does not function as a locking brake. For suspended loads, integrate an external rod lock or 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 SDA100X10H FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3524.9 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 5497.8 N and pull is 4934.8 N. The theoretical maximum push is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S piston magnet, so it cannot support AirTAC reed or electronic switches. Additionally, the fixed NBR bumper absorbs end impacts but is not an adjustable air cushion, so external shock absorbers may be needed for high-speed approaches.
