About the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA80X5
The AirTAC SDA80X5 is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for very short linear motion. It delivers a substantial 2513.3 N push and 2267.8 N pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it ideal for high-force pressing and short-stroke clamping. The hard-anodized bore and two-way piston seal ensure reliable service within the 0.15-1.0 MPa operating pressure range.
This model features a 5 mm stroke on a short riveted body, drastically reducing axial mounting depth where a longer round-body unit would fail to fit. It uses a 25 mm piston rod with an M14x1.5 female thread and PT3/8 air ports. End-stopping relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, so high-energy cycles may require an external shock absorber. This specific SKU lacks a piston magnet and therefore cannot host magnetic switches.

Where the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA80X5 Is Used
Short-Stroke Stamping
Executes brief 5 mm high-force stamping hits in progressive die tooling where 2513.3 N of extend force is required in a shallow frame.
Heavy Part Ejection
Ejects dense metal castings from machining fixtures using a compact 80 mm bore that minimizes interference with adjacent CNC spindles.
Riveting Head Actuation
Drives an orbital riveting head for 5 mm upset cycles, leveraging the rigid 25 mm rod to resist buckling under 2267.8 N retraction loads.
Is the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA80X5 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 80 mm bore, a safe working load is roughly 1508 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa figure), allowing a vertical lift of approximately 128.1 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. To finalize your order, confirm the 5 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, female rod thread, and the absence of a sensor magnet. Note that a plain compact cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke end and does not act as a lock. If your application must hold a load without live pressure, install an external rod lock or a 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 SDA80X5 FAQ
This double-acting 80 mm bore cylinder provides 2513.3 N push and 2267.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 3518.6 N push at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push force is 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet. To use AirTAC reed or electronic switches in the body grooves, you must order the -S variant. Additionally, end stopping relies on a fixed NBR bumper, not an adjustable air cushion.
