The AirTAC AirTAC SDA16X65B Compact Cylinder | 16mm Bore is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 65mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a riveted short body that saves mounting depth. Sensor slots around the body accept magnetic switches for position sensing.
The AirTAC SDA16X65B is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for tight axial spaces. It delivers 100.5 N of push force and 86.4 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Because the 65 mm stroke exceeds the standard 60 mm maximum for this 16 mm bore, this specific length is produced as a non-standard, made-to-order item.
This unit features a male M5x0.8 piston rod thread for direct load coupling. The hard-anodized bore operates at 30-500 mm/s, and end-stop deceleration is handled strictly by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. Note that this SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot host reed or electronic switches.

Pushes separated circuit boards off a routing fixture with a 60 N safe working load, utilizing the male M5x0.8 rod end for a threaded nozzle tip.
Folds light cardboard flaps on a packaging line where the short riveted body saves valuable mounting depth between conveyor rails.
Shifts lightweight racks a 65 mm distance; since this SKU lacks a piston magnet, external mechanical stops must define the precise end positions.
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force margins carefully. Stepping down to the SDA12 provides 56.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDA20 yields 157.1 N. The 100.5 N output here translates to a safe working load of roughly 60 N (about 60% capacity) and a vertical lift capability of approximately 5.1 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
Confirm your ordering essentials: 16 mm bore, 65 mm non-standard stroke, M5x0.8 port, male M5x0.8 rod thread (B option), and no sensor magnet. Remember that a standard compact body does not hold its load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered—the piston will drift, as the fixed bumper only decelerates near the stroke end and acts as neither a lock nor a brake. For suspended loads, specify an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 16 mm bore double-acting cylinder provides 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 140.7 N push at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push is 21 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
No, 65 mm exceeds the 60 mm standard maximum for this bore, making it a non-standard, made-to-order stroke. End-stop deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper, which is not an adjustable air cushion. For high kinetic energy applications, add an external shock absorber.
