About the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X130
The AirTAC SDA100X130 is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered to deliver substantial force within a minimal axial footprint. By utilizing a riveted assembly that integrates the barrel, rear cover, piston, and rod, this unit achieves an overall length far shorter than conventional round-body actuators. At 100 mm bore, it generates 3927 N of push force and 3524.9 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for heavy-duty positioning tasks.
This model features a hard-anodized bore and a two-way piston seal for reliable operation across a 30-500 mm/s speed range. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning high-energy cycles may require external shock absorption. The 32 mm piston rod terminates in a female M18x1.5 thread, and because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot directly host AirTAC reed or electronic switches.

Where the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X130 Is Used
Stamping Press Ejection
Provides the heavy push force required to eject thick metal blanks from progressive stamping dies, where the short body prevents interference with the press ram.
Palletizer Lift Station
Lifts heavy product layers onto shipping pallets in automated packaging lines, utilizing the 130 mm stroke to clear conveyor mechanisms during the transfer.
Injection Mold Separation
Breaks the vacuum seal between heavy injection molding halves, leveraging the 32 mm rod and 3927 N thrust to initiate part ejection safely.
Is the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X130 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 100 mm bore actuator involves evaluating your force margins and spatial constraints. Stepping down to the SDA80 yields 2513.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas this SDA100X130 provides 3927 N, representing the maximum standard thrust in the SDA family. With a 2:1 safety margin, the safe working load is approximately 2356 N, translating to a vertical lift capacity near 200.2 kg. Ensure your ordering criteria specify the 130 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, and female M18x1.5 rod end.
Keep in mind that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The fixed NBR bumper only softens the impact near the stroke endpoints and does not function as a locking brake. If your machinery must hold a load securely 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 SDA100X130 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 100 mm bore cylinder provides 3927 N of push (extend) force and 3524.9 N of pull (retract) force. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 5497.8 N. The theoretical maximum push is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
This specific SKU lacks the internal piston magnet, so it cannot host AirTAC reed or electronic switches without upgrading to the -S variant. Additionally, it uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end for end-stop deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion, so high-speed applications may need external shock absorbers.
