Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA63X40
The AirTAC SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA63X40 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 40mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and a riveted short body that saves mounting depth. Sensor slots around the body accept magnetic switches for position sensing.

About the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA63X40
The AirTAC SDA63X40 is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered to deliver a substantial 1558.6 N push force at 0.5 MPa. By utilizing a short riveted body that permanently joins the barrel, rear cover, piston and rod, this unit achieves an exceptionally small axial footprint. This space-saving architecture is ideal for machinery where a traditional round-body or profile cylinder would simply demand too much mounting depth.
This specific 63 mm bore model features a 20 mm piston rod and PT1/4 air ports. It relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, meaning there is no field-adjustable air cushion to tune. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot host AirTAC reed or electronic switches; position sensing requires the -S variant instead.

Where the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA63X40 Is Used
Carton Erector Flaps
Provides the 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa required to snap heavy corrugated carton flaps into position on high-speed packaging lines.
Press Die Ejection
Uses its 40 mm stroke and 20 mm rod to knock stamped metal parts out of a press die, benefiting from the short riveted body to fit tight tooling envelopes.
Is the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA63X40 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, stepping down to the SDA50 yields 981.7 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDA80 provides 2513.3 N at the same pressure. Keep in mind that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end rather than locking the load; an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for strict position holding. To order, confirm the 63 mm bore, 40 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, female rod-end thread (M10x1.5), and the absence of a sensor magnet.
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 SDA63X40 FAQ
The SDA63X40 generates 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, it yields 2182.1 N push and 1962.2 N pull. The theoretical maximum push is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa, which is the maximum operating pressure.
No. This model uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke end; it is not an adjustable air cushion. Additionally, this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept AirTAC reed or electronic switches.
