About the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X140S
The AirTAC SDA100X140S 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 actuators. At its core, it generates a substantial 3927 N of push force and 3524.9 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for high-thrust operations.
This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for direct mounting of AirTAC reed or electronic switches along the body grooves. The 140 mm stroke is a non-standard, made-to-order length exceeding the 130 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. End-of-travel deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, and the hard-anodized 100 mm bore houses a robust 32 mm piston rod.

Where the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X140S Is Used
Automotive Press Stamping
Drives heavy blanking and stamping dies in automotive assembly lines where the 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa is required to form steel panels within a tight machine envelope.
Palletizer Lift Stations
Elevates loaded pallets in high-throughput packaging facilities, utilizing the 32 mm rod and 140 mm stroke to index goods vertically while relying on external guides to manage side loads.
Injection Mold Ejection
Actuates large ejection pins in plastic injection molding machinery, using the built-in magnet to trigger solid-state switches for precise part extraction at the end of the cycle.
Is the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X140S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting the SDA100X140S requires evaluating your thrust and space constraints. If 3927 N of push at 0.5 MPa exceeds your requirements, stepping down to the SDA80 provides 2513.3 N, saving valuable machine footprint. As the largest bore in the SDA series, this 100 mm model represents the upper limit for compact actuation. Computed insights indicate a safe working load of roughly 2356 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa push figure) and a vertical lift capacity of approximately 200.2 kg using a 2:1 safety margin.
When ordering, confirm the 100 mm bore, 140 mm made-to-order stroke, PT3/8 port, and the -S magnet option. The piston rod end features a female M18x1.5 thread (with male M26x1.5 available via the B option). Note that a plain compact cylinder drifts if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the stroke end and does not function as a lock. For suspended or vertical 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 SDA100X140S FAQ
This double-acting cylinder 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 increases to 5497.8 N. The theoretical maximum push is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
No, the piston will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the stroke end and acts as neither a lock nor a brake. For suspended loads, use an external rod lock. For high-speed operations, add an external shock absorber, as the bumper is not an adjustable air cushion.
