The AirTAC SDA100X60SH 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 SDA100X60SH is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered to deliver substantial force within a minimal axial footprint. By utilizing a short riveted body that integrates the barrel, rear cover, piston, and rod, this unit achieves an overall length unattainable by conventional round-body actuators. At 100 mm bore, it generates 3927 N of push force and 3524.9 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, operating efficiently between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa.
This specific configuration includes an -S piston magnet for direct mounting of AirTAC reed or electronic switches along the body grooves, plus an -H fluororubber (FKM) seal variant for enhanced thermal and oil resistance. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable cushion. With a 32 mm piston rod and female M18x1.5 threading, buyers must ensure the load is guided to avoid side-loading the compact rod.

Drives heavy ejector pins in plastic injection molding machinery where the 3927 N push force clears dense parts, while the compact depth fits within tight mold voids.
Positions heavy back-gauge stops on sheet metal press brakes, utilizing the 32 mm rod and 60 mm stroke to handle high-thrust positioning without axial bulk.
Actuates heavy-duty clamps in automated coil feeding lines for mechanical stamping presses, relying on FKM seals to withstand elevated ambient heat.
If your application requires less force, the SDA80 offers 2513.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa; as the largest standard bore in this series, stepping up beyond 100 mm requires evaluating alternative heavy-duty profiles. Confirm your ordering essentials: 100 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, female M18x1.5 rod end, FKM seals, and the built-in magnet.
Because this is a double-acting actuator, it will not hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered—the piston drifts, and the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates near the stroke end. For vertical or suspended loads requiring fail-safe holding, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
Quick checklist
This 100 mm bore double-acting cylinder provides 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 is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at speeds of 30-500 mm/s within a 0.15-1.0 MPa pressure range and a -20 to +70 C temperature environment.
It relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston, which is not an adjustable air cushion; for high-energy cycles, add an external shock absorber. The included -S magnet allows tracking via AirTAC reed or electronic switches mounted in the body grooves, and the -H designation specifies fluororubber seals for harsher conditions.
