About the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X10SB
The AirTAC SDA100X10SB is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered for high force in minimal axial space. It delivers a substantial 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa, achieved through a 100 mm bore and a 32 mm piston rod. The riveted body design drastically reduces overall length compared to conventional round-body units, making it ideal for machinery where mounting depth is restricted.
This specific configuration includes an integrated piston magnet (-S) for position sensing via AirTAC reed or electronic switches, and a male M26x1.5 threaded rod end (-B) for secure load coupling. End-stops rely on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable cushion, meaning operators should manage high kinetic energy externally. Operating speed spans 30-500 mm/s, with a maximum pressure rating of 1.0 MPa.

Where the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X10SB Is Used
Stamping Press Ejection
Provides the intense 3927 N push required to knock heavy stamped metal panels out of progressive dies within a tight press footprint.
Heavy Gauge Bending Stop
Acts as a robust, short-stroke back-gauge for thick sheet metal bending operations, utilizing the male M26x1.5 rod end for solid tool mounting.
Palletizer Clamping Arm
Generates over 200 kg of holding force to secure bulky palletized goods during transfer, fitting neatly into constrained robotic cell frames.
Is the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X10SB the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 100 mm bore model provides a massive 801 kgf maximum push at 1.0 MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the SDA80 yields 2513.3 N at 0.5 MPa; conversely, this SDA100 represents the largest available bore in the series. A computed safe working load is approximately 2356 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa figure), translating to a vertical lift capacity of roughly 200.2 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Ensure your ordering essentials match this exact spec: 100 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, built-in magnet, and male M26x1.5 rod thread.
Because this is a double-acting air cylinder, it will not hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered—the piston will drift. The fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not act as a mechanical lock. For vertical loads or critical position holding, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your 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 SDA100X10SB FAQ
This double-acting 100 mm bore cylinder generates 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 force is 801 kgf when operated at the 1.0 MPa pressure limit.
No, the SDA series uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston, which is not a field-adjustable air cushion. For high-speed or high-energy cycles, you should add an external shock absorber or slow down the approach speed. Additionally, this -SB variant includes a piston magnet for reed or electronic switches and a male M26x1.5 rod thread.
