The AirTAC AirTAC SDA100X60B Compact Cylinder | 100mm Bore is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 60mm 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 SDA100X60B is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation within a minimal axial footprint. It provides a substantial 3927 N push and 3524.9 N pull force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 32 mm piston rod and PT3/8 air ports to move substantial loads over a 60 mm stroke.
This unit features a male M26x1.5 threaded piston rod end for robust mechanical coupling to your tooling. The short riveted body design significantly reduces mounting depth compared to standard round-body actuators. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable cushion, meaning high-energy cycles may require an external shock absorber to prevent impact damage.

Provides the heavy 3927 N extend force needed to knock thick steel blanks from stamping press dies, utilizing the male M26x1.5 rod for secure die-coupling.
Separates large plastic injection mold halves with 5497.8 N push at 0.7 MPa, where the short riveted body fits within tight mold-base machinery envelopes.
Actuates heavy diverter gates on end-of-line palletizing conveyors, moving loads safely at 30-500 mm/s while relying on external shock absorbers for high-energy stops.
When sizing this 100 mm bore actuator, stepping down to the SDA80 yields 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas this SDA100X60B provides 3927 N, making it the optimal choice when the smaller bore lacks thrust. Because this is the largest standard SDA frame size, exceeding its 130 mm maximum standard stroke necessitates a guided cylinder to prevent rod deflection. To confirm your ordering essentials: specify the 100 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT3/8 ports, male M26x1.5 rod thread (B option), and note this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet for sensing. A safe working load is approximately 2356 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa figure), allowing a vertical lift of roughly 200.2 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Remember that a standard compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke end and does not function as a locking brake, so applications requiring position holding need an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
The SDA100X60B generates 3927 N push and 3524.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 5497.8 N push at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push force is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses PT3/8 air ports and a 32 mm diameter piston rod.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S option, meaning it lacks a piston magnet and cannot trigger AirTAC reed or electronic switches. You would need the SDA100X60BS variant for position sensing capabilities.
