The AirTAC SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X10SBH is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 10mm stroke, PT3/8 air ports and a riveted short body that saves mounting depth. Sensor slots around the body accept magnetic switches for position sensing.
The AirTAC SDA100X10SBH is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation 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. Operating at 0.15-1.0 MPa, it generates a substantial 3927 N push and 3524.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The hard-anodized bore and two-way piston seal ensure durable performance, while the integrated FKM (fluororubber) -H seals provide enhanced thermal and oil resistance for demanding environments.
This configuration includes the -S piston magnet for direct mounting of AirTAC reed or electronic switches along the body grooves, enabling precise position sensing. The -B option specifies a male M26x1.5 threaded piston rod end for secure mechanical load coupling. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning external shock absorbers should be added for high-energy 30-500 mm/s cycles.

Provides the intense 3927 N push force required to knock heavy stamped metal panels out of progressive die machinery within a tight 10mm stroke.
Delivers a high-impact initial jolt to free hardened plastic parts from injection molding cavities, utilizing the compact riveted body to fit within narrow mold bases.
Indexes loaded pallets on packaging lines, using the male M26x1.5 rod thread to securely attach heavy-duty lifting forks without excessive axial overhang.
If your application requires less force, stepping down to the SDA80 yields 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa; as the largest bore in the series, there is no larger standard SDA option. Be aware that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke end rather than locking the load, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is necessary for strict position holding. To finalize your order, confirm the 100mm bore, 10mm stroke, PT3/8 port, male M26x1.5 rod thread, magnet, and FKM seal specifications.
Quick checklist
This 100mm bore cylinder operates at a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa. At 0.5 MPa it provides 3927 N push and 3524.9 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 5497.8 N push and 4934.8 N pull. The theoretical maximum push force is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
It relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston, which is not an adjustable air cushion. For high-speed cycles, you should add external shock absorbers. Furthermore, it will not hold a load if air pressure drops; the piston will drift, requiring an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure holding.
