The AirTAC SDA100X60H 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 SDA100X60H is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered for heavy-duty pneumatics within a minimal axial footprint. Its riveted assembly yields a substantial 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa, while the integrated fluororubber (FKM) seals provide heightened resistance to elevated temperatures and oily environments. A 32 mm piston rod and PT3/8 air ports ensure robust fluid delivery for high-energy cycles.
This model relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each stroke end to decelerate the payload rather than an adjustable air cushion. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet code, it cannot host reed or electronic switches. The short body design conserves machine depth where a conventional round-body unit would be too long, though external shock absorbers should be specified for high-speed approaches.

Drives heavy ejector pins on large injection molding platens, utilizing the 3927 N extend force to break robust plastic parts free from deep cavity molds.
Positions thick steel billets at the entry of a hydraulic press, where the compact riveted body minimizes axial length and the FKM seals withstand ambient heat radiating from the forge.
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force margins carefully. If your application requires even greater thrust, note that 100 mm is the largest bore in the SDA family, so further scaling demands a different cylinder series.
Confirm your ordering essentials: 100 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, female M18x1.5 rod thread, and FKM seals. Because a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, incorporate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if the mechanism must hold a load securely without live pressure.
Quick checklist
This 100 mm bore 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 thrust is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa, with an operating speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S option, meaning it lacks a piston magnet and cannot trigger reed or electronic switches. You must select an SDA100X60HS variant to enable magnetic sensing capabilities.
