The AirTAC AirTAC SDA100X5H Compact Cylinder | 100mm Bore is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 5mm 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.
The AirTAC SDA100X5H is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for heavy-duty pneumatic tasks within a minimal axial envelope. Utilizing a short riveted body assembly, it significantly reduces mounting depth compared to conventional round-body units, delivering a robust 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa. This specific configuration includes an FKM fluororubber seal variant, offering superior resistance to higher temperatures and oily environments compared to standard NBR.
Built around a 100 mm bore, this model features a 32 mm piston rod and PT3/8 air ports. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper at each end, which absorbs impact energy but is not an adjustable air cushion. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet code, it cannot support magnetic reed or electronic switches; sensing requires the -S variant. Operating speed ranges from 30-500 mm/s across a 0.15-1.0 MPa pressure range.

Provides high-impact ejection force for separating molded plastic parts from tooling where a very short 5 mm stroke and heat-resistant FKM seals are required.
Delivers concentrated 3927 N pressing force at 0.5 MPa to seat or stamp thick sheet metal components within confined press tooling boundaries.
Executes precise 5 mm pin insertion or riveting operations on automated assembly lines, utilizing the 32 mm rod to handle substantial side-load resistance.
Selecting this 100 mm bore model provides a theoretical maximum push of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the SDA80 yields 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, which may better suit medium-duty setups. Since 100 mm is the largest standard SDA bore, moving up in force requires a different cylinder series entirely. For this 5 mm stroke, the computed safe working load is approximately 2356 N (about 60% of the 3927 N figure at 0.5 MPa), allowing a vertical lift of roughly 200.2 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 100 mm bore, 5 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, no magnet, and FKM seals. Note that a plain compact cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end and acts as neither a lock nor a brake. To hold a load securely without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3524.9 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 5497.8 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet, so it cannot support reed or electronic switches. You must select the -S option code to enable magnetic sensing. Additionally, end stopping relies on a fixed NBR bumper, not an adjustable air cushion.
