About the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X150SB
The AirTAC SDA100X150SB is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation within a minimal axial footprint. Its riveted body assembly keeps overall length exceptionally short compared to conventional round-body units, saving valuable machine depth. At 100 mm bore, it generates 3927 N of push force and 3524.9 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, yielding a safe working load of roughly 2356 N and a vertical lift capacity of about 200.2 kg with a 2:1 margin.
This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for direct mounting of AirTAC reed or electronic switches along the body grooves. The -B option provides a male M26x1.5 threaded piston rod end for secure mechanical coupling. Because the 150 mm stroke exceeds the 130 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore size, this unit is classified as non-standard and produced as a made-to-order item.

Where the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X150SB Is Used
Stamping Press Ejection
Provides the robust 3927 N push force required to knock heavy stamped metal panels out of progressive die sets in automotive parts manufacturing.
Palletizer Lift Station
Handles vertical lifting of 200 kg product layers in end-of-line packaging machinery, utilizing the male M26x1.5 rod for rigid load coupling.
Injection Mold Core Pull
Actuates large core inserts in plastic injection molding tools where minimal axial mounting depth is critical to fit the mold base.
Is the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X150SB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force requirements carefully. Stepping down to the SDA80 provides 2513.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, which may suffice for lighter duties, whereas this 100 mm bore is necessary for applications demanding the full 3927 N. To confirm your ordering essentials: specify the 100 mm bore, 150 mm non-standard stroke, PT3/8 port, required -S magnet for sensing, and the -B male M26x1.5 rod thread. Keep in mind that a plain compact cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the piston will drift. If your application requires static load holding, you must integrate an external rod lock or a 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 SDA100X150SB FAQ
This 100 mm bore double-acting cylinder generates 3927 N push and 3524.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 5497.8 N push at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push force is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
It relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston near stroke completion; this is not an adjustable air cushion, so external shock absorbers are recommended for high-speed approaches. Additionally, it does not function as a lock or brake and will drift if air pressure is lost, requiring an external rod lock for load holding.
