The AirTAC Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X75SB 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 SDA100X75SB is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered to deliver substantial force within a minimal axial footprint. It generates 3927 N of push force and 3524.9 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for heavy-duty positioning tasks. The riveted body assembly significantly reduces overall length compared to conventional round-body units, saving valuable machine space.
This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for direct mounting of AirTAC reed or electronic switches along the body grooves. It is also equipped with a male M26x1.5 threaded piston rod (-B) on a 32 mm shaft for robust load coupling. End-stops rely on a fixed NBR bumper to decelerate motion, which is not an adjustable air cushion, so external shock absorbers should be added for high-energy cycles.

Drives heavy ejector pins in plastic injection molding machinery where the short riveted body minimizes interference with the mold base while providing 3927 N of extend force.
Positions thick steel blanks under hydraulic presses, utilizing the 32 mm male-threaded rod for rigid attachment to heavy tooling and handling high lateral inertia during approach.
Actuates heavy lifting forks in automated end-of-line palletizing cells, where the built-in magnet enables reed or electronic switches to confirm load engagement at 75 mm of travel.
When sizing this unit, consider stepping down to the SDA80, which provides 2513.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, or if maximum thrust is required, this 100 mm bore stands as the largest standard option in the SDA family offering a theoretical maximum of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Based on the 3927 N push figure at 0.5 MPa, the computed safe working load is approximately 2356 N (about 60% capacity), translating to a vertical lift capability of roughly 200.2 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
Keep in mind that a standard double-acting cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the piston will drift, and the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates near stroke end rather than locking the load. For vertical or suspended loads requiring fail-safe holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required. To order, confirm the 100 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, male M26x1.5 rod thread, and the integrated magnet.
Quick checklist
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 and 4934.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push force is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
It uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston, which is not a field-adjustable air cushion; for high-speed cycles, add external shock absorbers. Furthermore, it does not lock the load on air loss, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is needed for vertical holding.
