About the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X130SH
The AirTAC SDA100X130SH is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation within a minimal axial footprint. By utilizing a riveted assembly that merges the barrel, rear cover, piston, and rod, this unit achieves a remarkably short overall length compared to conventional round-body designs, saving valuable machine mounting depth. At its core, it generates a substantial 3927 N of push force and 3524.9 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, operating efficiently across a 30-500 mm/s speed range.
This specific configuration includes an -S built-in piston magnet, allowing seamless integration with AirTAC reed or electronic switches via the body's peripheral grooves for precise position detection. The -H designation denotes a fluororubber (FKM) seal variant, providing enhanced resistance to higher temperatures and oily environments. End-stopping is managed by a fixed NBR bumper that decelerates the payload near stroke completion; it is not an adjustable air cushion, so operators should reduce approach speeds or mount an external shock absorber for high-energy loads. Fluid must be filtered air, with an operating pressure tolerance of 0.15-1.0 MPa.

Where the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X130SH Is Used
Automotive Stamping Press
Drives heavy stamping dies and holding fixtures on automotive assembly lines, utilizing the 5497.8 N extend force at 0.7 MPa to form steel panels reliably.
Palletizer End Effector
Actuates large clamping jaws on robotic palletizing arms to grip heavy shrink-wrapped freight, where the short riveted body minimizes arm overhang.
Injection Mold Ejection
Pushes thick plastic components out of injection molding machinery, leveraging the 32mm piston rod and FKM seals to withstand high-temperature ambient conditions.
Is the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X130SH the Right Cylinder?
Selecting the SDA100X130SH is appropriate when your application requires massive linear thrust within a tight envelope. This 100mm bore achieves a safe working load of roughly 2356 N (about 60% of its 3927 N output at 0.5 MPa) and can vertically lift approximately 200.2 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. If your force requirements are lower, stepping down to the SDA80 provides 2513.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, which may offer a more compact and economical solution. As the largest bore in the SDA family, there is no larger standard option available. When ordering, confirm the 100mm bore, 130mm stroke, PT3/8 porting, female M18x1.5 rod-end thread, the -S magnet for sensing, and the -H FKM seal specification. Keep in mind that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only decelerates near the stroke end and acts as neither a lock nor a brake. To hold a load securely without live pressure, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve must be installed.
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 SDA100X130SH FAQ
The SDA100X130SH 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 force is 5497.8 N and the pull force is 4934.8 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 801 kgf at the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa.
No, the piston will drift if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the rod near the end of its stroke and does not function as a locking brake. To maintain a vertical position safely, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
