The AirTAC 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.
Raises lower-tier pallets in high-throughput packaging lines, moving approximately 200 kg payloads vertically with a calculated 2:1 safety margin at 0.5 MPa.
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force margins carefully. Stepping down, the SDA80 provides 2513.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas this SDA100X60H tops out at 3927 N, yielding a safe working load of roughly 2356 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa figure) and a vertical lift capacity of 200.2 kg with a 2:1 safety factor. 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.
