The AirTAC AirTAC SDA100X60BH 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 SDA100X60BH is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation within a minimal axial footprint. Its riveted body assembly significantly reduces mounting depth compared to conventional round-body units, delivering a substantial 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa. This specific configuration includes a male M26x1.5 piston rod end for robust mechanical coupling and utilizes fluororubber (FKM) seals for enhanced thermal and oil resistance.
The 100 mm bore houses a 32 mm hard-anodized piston rod and operates via PT3/8 ports. End-of-stroke deceleration is managed by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable cushion, meaning external shock absorbers should be specified for high-energy cycles. This SKU omits the piston magnet, so position sensing is not supported without the -S option.

Provides the high 3927 N extension force needed to eject heavy formed metal panels from a hydraulic stamping press die bed.
Raises lowerator forks handling fully loaded pallets, where the 200.2 kg vertical lift margin safely supports goods transfer between conveyor tiers.
Pushes large molded plastic automotive fascias off the core half, utilizing the 32 mm rod to withstand initial breakout friction without side-loading.
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force margins carefully. Stepping down, the SDA80 provides 2513.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making the SDA100X60BH the necessary choice when that lower capacity is insufficient. Based on the 3927 N output at 0.5 MPa, the computed safe working load is approximately 2356 N (about 60% capacity), which translates to a vertical lift capability of roughly 200.2 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
Remember that a standard compact cylinder will drift and cannot hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only slows the piston near stroke end rather than locking it. For suspended or gravity-loaded applications, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. To order, confirm the 100 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, male M26x1.5 rod thread, FKM seals, and no magnet.
Quick checklist
This 100 mm bore double-acting cylinder generates 3927 N push and 3524.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 5497.8 N push and 4934.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push force is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and runs at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
It relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston, which is not a field-adjustable air cushion; for high-speed operations, you should add external shock absorbers. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet code, it cannot support reed or electronic switches, and the male M26x1.5 rod thread requires compatible load coupling.
