Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA80X15
The AirTAC Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA80X15 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 15mm 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.

About the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA80X15
The AirTAC SDA80X15 is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered for high force in tight axial spaces. It delivers a substantial 2513.3 N push and 2267.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for heavy-duty positioning. The riveted unibody design integrates the barrel and covers to minimize overall length, saving valuable machine footprint compared to conventional round-body units.
This specific 80mm bore configuration features a robust 25mm piston rod and PT3/8 air ports. It relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, rather than an adjustable air cushion. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot support magnetic position sensing without modifying the build.

Where the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA80X15 Is Used
Injection Mold Platen Ejection
Provides the 2513.3 N push force needed to eject dense plastic parts from an injection molding press, utilizing the 15mm short stroke to fit within narrow machinery side panels.
Heavy Gauge Metal Bending Stop
Acts as a rugged back-gauge stop in a sheet metal press brake, where the 25mm rod resists deflection and the compact body avoids interfering with the descending upper beam.
Palletizer Lift Segment
Drives a brief 15mm vertical lift mechanism to separate individual pallet layers in an automated packaging line, handling loads up to 128.1 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
Is the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA80X15 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, compare its 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa against adjacent bores: stepping down to the SDA63 yields 1558.6 N, while stepping up to the SDA100 provides 3927 N. For this 15mm stroke model, the safe working load is approximately 1508 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa figure), allowing a vertical lift of roughly 128.1 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 80mm bore, 15mm stroke, PT3/8 port, female M14x1.5 rod thread, and no sensor magnet. Note that a plain SDA cylinder will drift and cannot hold a load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if position holding is required.
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 SDA80X15 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 2513.3 N and the pull force is 2267.8 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 3518.6 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 513 kgf at the 1.0 MPa operating pressure limit.
No, the SDA80X15 uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston, which is not field-adjustable. For high-speed or high-energy cycles, you should slow the approach speed or add an external shock absorber.
