The AirTAC Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X75S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 75mm stroke, PT3/8 air ports and a riveted short body that saves mounting depth. Sensor slots around the body accept magnetic switches for position sensing.
The AirTAC SDA100X75S is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation within a minimal axial envelope. Utilizing a riveted body assembly, it drastically reduces mounting depth compared to conventional round-body units, delivering a robust 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa. The hard-anodized 100 mm bore houses a two-way piston seal, and the integrated -S piston magnet interfaces directly with AirTAC reed or electronic switches via body grooves for precise position detection.
Equipped with a 32 mm piston rod and PT3/8 air ports, this model handles substantial loads with a safe working capacity around 2356 N (roughly 60% of its 0.5 MPa output) and a vertical lift capability of approximately 200.2 kg at a 2:1 safety margin. Deceleration at stroke extremes relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning high-energy cycles may require external shock absorbers to prevent impact damage.

Drives heavy blanking and forming dies on automotive assembly lines where the 3927 N extend force at 0.5 MPa securely shifts substantial tooling masses within tight machine footprints.
Elevates loaded pallets in high-throughput packaging zones, utilizing the 32 mm rod and 200.2 kg vertical lift margin to raise goods efficiently before the fixed NBR bumper halts the stroke.
Pushes thick-walled molded plastic components out of heavy tooling, relying on the built-in -S magnet and electronic switches to signal the robot picker that the part is fully ejected.
Selecting this 100 mm bore provides maximum thrust for the SDA series, yielding 5497.8 N of extend force at 0.7 MPa. If your application requires less power, stepping down to the SDA80 offers 2513.3 N at 0.5 MPa, which may better suit medium-duty tasks without oversized plumbing. Confirm your ordering essentials: 100 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, female M18x1.5 rod end, and the built-in -S magnet.
Because the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the piston near the end of travel and provides no braking capability, a plain SDA100X75S will drift if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. If your machinery must hold a vertical load securely during an emergency stop or pressure drop, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into the pneumatic circuit.
Quick checklist
This 100 mm bore double-acting cylinder generates a push force of 3927 N and a pull force of 3524.9 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 5497.8 N. The theoretical maximum push is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and sustains speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
No, the SDA100X75S uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston. It is not an adjustable air cushion and does not act as a lock or brake. For high-speed or high-energy cycles, you should add an external shock absorber or slow the approach speed to prevent premature wear.
