About the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X5
The AirTAC SDA100X5 is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for substantial force in extremely tight axial envelopes. It generates 3927 N of push force and 3524.9 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a robust 32 mm piston rod. The riveted unibody design merges the barrel and covers to drastically reduce mounting depth compared to standard round-body actuators.
This specific configuration features a 5 mm stroke, making it ideal for high-force micro-movements. The bore is hard-anodized for longevity, while the end caps use a fixed NBR bumper to decelerate the piston at stroke extremes. Because this SKU lacks the -S option, it has no internal piston magnet and cannot host reed or electronic switches.

Where the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X5 Is Used
Heavy Press Ejection
Provides a brief 5 mm knockout stroke to eject thick steel plates from a hydraulic stamping press using 3927 N of extend force.
Riveting Anvil Stop
Acts as a solid 100 mm bore end-stop that applies 5497.8 N at 0.7 MPa to clamp automotive chassis components securely prior to orbital riveting.
Injection Mold Breaker
Delivers a high-impact micro-burst to separate stubborn plastic injection molded parts from the tool cavity without consuming valuable machine length.
Is the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X5 the Right Cylinder?
For 0.5 MPa applications, this 100 mm bore yields 3927 N of extending force. If your layout can accommodate slightly less power, stepping down to the SDA80 provides 2513.3 N of push. As the largest available SDA bore, there is no larger standard option in this series. When ordering, confirm the 5 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, female M18x1.5 rod thread, and the absence of a magnet. Note that this actuator will drift and lose position if air pressure drops; utilize an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if your setup requires suspended load holding.
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 SDA100X5 FAQ
The SDA100X5 delivers 3927 N push and 3524.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 5497.8 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical output of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a PT3/8 air port and a 32 mm piston rod.
No, this model relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, which is not an adjustable air cushion. Additionally, because it lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot support reed or electronic switches.
