About the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X30
The AirTAC SDA100X30 is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for heavy-duty pneumatics within a minimal axial footprint. Utilizing a short riveted body design, it conserves valuable machine mounting depth where conventional round-body units cannot fit, while delivering a substantial 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa. The hard-anodized bore and two-way piston seal ensure reliable operation across a 30-500 mm/s speed range.
This specific configuration features a 32 mm piston rod and PT3/8 air ports, designed to handle high flow requirements. End-of-stroke deceleration is managed by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning operators should slow the approach or utilize external shock absorbers for high-energy loads. Because this SKU lacks the -S option, it has no piston magnet and cannot support reed or electronic switches.

Where the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X30 Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Provides the 3927 N push force required to eject dense plastic parts from heavy injection molding machinery, utilizing the 30 mm stroke for rapid retraction.
Press Brake Positioning
Drives heavy metal forming tools in a fabrication press brake, where the compact riveted body minimizes axial protrusion into tight machine frames.
Stamping Press Feed
Indexes thick sheet metal stock into a mechanical stamping press, leveraging the 32 mm rod and male M26x1.5 thread option for robust load coupling.
Is the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X30 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 100 mm bore model, compare its 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa against the next size down: the SDA80 provides 2513.3 N, making the SDA100X30 the correct choice when stepping up force capacity. As the largest standard bore, there is no larger SDA variant. Confirm your ordering essentials: 100 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, female M18x1.5 rod thread, and no sensor magnet. Note that a plain cylinder drifts if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end and does not function as a lock, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for held loads.
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 SDA100X30 FAQ
This 100 mm bore double-acting cylinder provides 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, with a maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa and proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
It relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston, which is not an adjustable air cushion; for high kinetic energy, slow the approach or add an external shock absorber. Furthermore, it cannot hold a load if air is lost, as the bumper is not a brake, requiring an external rod lock for vertical safety.
