About the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X15SB
The AirTAC SDA100X15SB is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered for heavy-duty tasks within confined axial footprints. Utilizing a riveted assembly that merges the barrel, rear cover, piston, and rod, it achieves an exceptionally short overall length compared to conventional round-body units. At 100 mm bore, it generates 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling to a theoretical maximum of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for direct mounting of AirTAC reed or electronic switches along the body grooves, and a male M26x1.5 threaded piston rod (-B) for secure load coupling. End-of-travel energy is managed solely by a fixed NBR bumper, which decelerates the piston but is not an adjustable air cushion. Operating speeds span 30-500 mm/s, and the hard-anodized bore ensures long service life.

Where the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X15SB Is Used
Stamping Press Ejection
Provides robust 3927 N push force to eject heavy formed metal panels from progressive stamping dies where short 15 mm stroke depth is critical.
Injection Mold Parting
Acts as a compact mold-breaker on large plastic injection machinery, using the male M26x1.5 rod end to separate stubborn molded components from the core.
Heavy Pallet Positioning
Indexes loaded pallets vertically in high-mass conveyor systems, relying on the 100 mm bore's 801 kgf maximum capacity to lift and lower goods securely.
Is the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X15SB the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 100 mm bore model provides massive thrust in a thin package, yielding a safe working load of roughly 2356 N (about 60% of the 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa) and a vertical lift capacity of approximately 200.2 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. If your application requires less force, the SDA80 offers 2513.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa and a smaller footprint; as the largest standard bore in the series, stepping up beyond 100 mm would require a different cylinder family. When ordering, confirm the 15 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, male M26x1.5 rod thread, and the integrated magnet. Keep in mind that a plain compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered—the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end and does not function as a locking brake, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if the load must be held.
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 SDA100X15SB FAQ
This 100 mm bore double-acting cylinder delivers 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. It operates between 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and supports speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
No, the SDA100X15SB uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston, which is not an adjustable air cushion. For high-speed or high-energy loads, you should add an external shock absorber or slow down the approach speed. Additionally, this model includes the -S magnet for reed or electronic switches and the -B male M26x1.5 rod thread.
