About the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA63X15
The AirTAC SDA63X15 is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered to deliver a substantial 1558.6 N push force at 0.5 MPa within a minimal axial footprint. Its short riveted body integrates the barrel, rear cover, piston, and rod, saving valuable mounting depth where a conventional round-body unit would not fit. This specific SKU features a 15 mm stroke and a 63 mm bore with a hard-anodized inner wall and a two-way piston seal.
This model incorporates a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston near the stroke limits; it is not an adjustable air cushion, so high-energy cycles may require an external shock absorber. The unit uses a PT1/4 port and a 20 mm rod with a female M10x1.5 thread. Because this SKU lacks the -S option, it has no piston magnet and cannot support position sensing.

Where the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA63X15 Is Used
Carton Erector Flap Folding
Provides the 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa required to fold heavy corrugated cardboard flaps on high-speed packaging lines, utilizing the 15 mm stroke for rapid, short-travel actuation.
Palletizer Stopper Gate
Acts as a short-travel stopper block for incoming pallets on a conveyor, leveraging the compact riveted body to fit within tight conveyor frame clearances while handling the 79.4 kg vertical load margin.
Is the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA63X15 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, consider stepping down to the SDA50, which provides 981.7 N of push at 0.5 MPa, or moving up to the SDA80, which yields 2513.3 N at the same pressure. To finalize your order, confirm the 63 mm bore, 15 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, female M10x1.5 rod thread, and the absence of a magnet. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered, so holding a load requires an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
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 SDA63X15 FAQ
The SDA63X15 generates 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 2182.1 N push at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push force is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S piston magnet, so it cannot trigger AirTAC reed or electronic switches. You would need to specify the -S option to enable sensing capabilities in the body grooves.
