About the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X150
The AirTAC SDA100X150 is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for heavy-duty pneumatic actuation. It delivers a substantial 3927 N push and 3524.9 N pull force at 0.5 MPa, supported by a robust 32 mm piston rod and PT3/8 air ports. The short riveted body design significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to traditional round-body units, saving valuable machine footprint in tight spaces.
This specific 150 mm stroke configuration exceeds the 130 mm maximum standard stroke for the 100 mm bore, making it a non-standard, made-to-order item. Deceleration at stroke ends is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning high-energy cycles may require external shock absorbers. Without a piston magnet, this base model cannot support magnetic sensing; adding an -S variant enables reed or electronic switch integration.

Where the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X150 Is Used
Automotive Stamping Press Ejection
Provides the high 3927 N push force necessary to eject heavy stamped metal body panels from a press die, utilizing the 150 mm stroke to clear the tooling area completely.
Palletizer Lift Station
Handles vertical lifting of heavy product layers in end-of-line packaging machinery, where the 32 mm rod and 200.2 kg vertical lift capacity ensure stable load management.
Injection Mold Separation
Generates the brute clamping and separation force required to break loose large industrial plastic injection molds during tooling changeovers, fitting into tight machine cells.
Is the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X150 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force margins carefully. For applications needing extreme force, this is the largest available bore in the series.
Because this 150 mm unit is a non-standard made-to-order stroke, ensure your RFQ specifies the exact bore, stroke, and PT3/8 port requirement. Note that a plain compact cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered—the piston will drift, and the fixed bumper only decelerates near the stroke end. For critical position holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required. The default female M18x1.5 rod-end thread couples directly to your load, but a male M26x1.5 thread is available with the -B option.
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 SDA100X150 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3524.9 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push is 5497.8 N and the pull is 4934.8 N. The theoretical maximum push force 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, and the operating speed ranges from 30-500 mm/s.
It relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston near stroke completion; it is not an adjustable air cushion, so high-speed applications may need external shock absorbers. Additionally, it does not hold its load on air loss or valve centering—the piston drifts, requiring an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure position holding.
