Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA63X5
The AirTAC Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA63X5 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 5mm 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 SDA63X5
The AirTAC SDA63X5 is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for tight axial spaces, delivering a robust 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull at 0.5 MPa. Its riveted body assembly significantly reduces overall mounting length compared to conventional round-body units, making it highly effective for machinery where footprint depth is restricted. The unit features a hard-anodized bore and operates at speeds between 30-500 mm/s.
This specific configuration utilizes a 20 mm piston rod and PT1/4 air ports. Deceleration at stroke ends is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning high-energy cycles may require external shock absorption. Note that this particular SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot support magnetic position sensing without upgrading to the -S option.

Where the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA63X5 Is Used
Press Fit Pins
Drives short 5 mm insertion strokes for aligning dowel pins in automotive transmission assembly fixtures.

Is the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA63X5 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 63 mm bore actuator, evaluate your force requirements carefully: stepping down to the SDA50 yields 981.7 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDA80 provides 2513.3 N. The SDA63X5 provides a safe working load of roughly 935 N (about 60% of its 1558.6 N capacity) and can vertically lift approximately 79.4 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. To finalize your order, confirm the 5 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, female M10x1.5 rod-end thread, and the absence of a magnet. Keep in mind that this cylinder will drift and cannot hold a load if air pressure is lost, as the fixed bumper only decelerates the piston near the end of travel rather than locking it in place.
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 SDA63X5 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 1558.6 N and the pull force is 1401.5 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push is 2182.1 N and the pull is 1962.2 N. The theoretical maximum push 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, and the operating speed spans 30-500 mm/s.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet, so it cannot trigger AirTAC reed or electronic switches. You must select the -S option code to enable position sensing. Additionally, end-stop deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper, not an adjustable air cushion, so external shock absorbers are recommended for high-speed operations.
