About the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA25X10
The AirTAC SDA25X10 is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for tight axial spaces. It delivers a 245.4 N push force at 0.5 MPa, supported by a 10 mm piston rod and an M5x0.8 air port. The riveted body design drastically reduces overall length compared to standard round-body units, making it ideal for shallow machine footprints.
This model relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, meaning there is no field-adjustable air cushion. Operating between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa, it lacks a piston magnet, so position sensing is not supported on this specific SKU. For high-speed cycling, adding an external shock absorber helps manage impact energy.

Where the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA25X10 Is Used
PCB Edge-Guiding
Shifts guide rails on a pick-and-place machine to accommodate varying board widths, utilizing the 10 mm stroke to make rapid, precise lateral adjustments.
Film Sealing Jaw
Actuates a short sealing jaw on a vertical form-fill-seal pouch line, applying 245.4 N of force to crimp and cut packaging film cleanly.
Stator Lamination Stop
Acts as a hard mechanical stop in an electric motor stator assembly press, positioning steel laminations accurately before bonding.
Is the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA25X10 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, consider stepping down to the SDA20, which provides 157.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa, or moving up to the SDA32, which yields 402.1 N at the same pressure.
Confirm your ordering essentials: a 25 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, female rod-end thread (M5x0.8), and no magnet. Because a plain double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or a valve is centered, apply an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if your application must hold a load without live pressure.
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 SDA25X10 FAQ
This double-acting cylinder provides a push force of 245.4 N and a pull force of 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 343.6 N. The theoretical maximum push is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa, which is the maximum operating pressure.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet. You would need the SDA25X10S variant to utilize the body sensor grooves with a reed or electronic switch. Additionally, end-stop deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper, not an adjustable air cushion.
