The AirTAC AirTAC SDA100X65BH Compact Cylinder | 100mm Bore is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 65mm 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 SDA100X65BH is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered for heavy-duty pneumatics within a minimal axial footprint. Its riveted body assembly keeps overall length exceptionally short compared to traditional round-body units, saving valuable machine mounting depth. At 100 mm bore, it generates 3927 N of push force and 3524.9 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, operating at speeds between 30-500 mm/s.
This specific configuration includes a male M26x1.5 piston rod end (M-thread) for robust mechanical load coupling and an FKM fluororubber seal variant for enhanced thermal and oil resistance. The unit relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, meaning it is not an adjustable air cushion. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot host reed or electronic switches.

Utilizes the 5497.8 N extend force at 0.7 MPa to kick heavy metal blanks out of a hydraulic stamping press, where the short riveted body avoids interfering with the press die clearance.
Applies sustained opposing pressure for bending and aligning chassis components, leveraging the rigid 32 mm piston rod and FKM seals to withstand heated manufacturing environments.
Drives a vertical lift mechanism for 200 kg industrial pallets in packaging lines, requiring an external shock absorber to manage the kinetic energy during rapid 65 mm strokes.
Selecting this 100 mm bore model provides a massive 801 kgf maximum theoretical push at 1.0 MPa, with a safe working load around 2356 N (roughly 60% of the 3927 N figure at 0.5 MPa) and a vertical lift capacity of approximately 200.2 kg using a 2:1 safety margin. If your application requires slightly less force, the neighboring SDA80 offers 2513.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa. To verify your ordering essentials for this build: 100 mm bore, 65 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, male M26x1.5 rod thread, FKM seals, and no sensor magnet. Keep in mind that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only absorbs end-of-stroke impact and will not lock the load. To maintain position safely, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa and a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S piston magnet, so it cannot host reed or electronic switches. You would need the -S variant for position sensing. Additionally, it uses a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, so for high-speed operations you should add external shock absorption.
