The AirTAC AirTAC SDA25X130 Compact Cylinder | 25mm Bore is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 130mm 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 SDA25X130 is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered to deliver 245.4 N of push force and 206.2 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Its hard-anodized bore and two-way piston seal ensure reliable actuation within a 30-500 mm/s speed range. This specific configuration features a 130 mm stroke and a standard female M5x0.8 rod-end thread on its 10 mm piston rod.
Designed to minimize axial mounting depth, the riveted body saves valuable machine footprint where a conventional round-body actuator cannot fit. This model lacks a piston magnet, meaning it cannot directly host AirTAC reed or electronic switches. Instead of an adjustable air cushion, it relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke limits.

Actuates a routing flap on a logistics sorting line, utilizing the 130 mm travel to redirect parcels efficiently without consuming excessive frame width.
Drives a mechanical arm to tuck corrugated box flaps prior to tape sealing, capitalizing on the short body length to fit between conveyor guides.
Adjusts a yarn guide roller dynamically, using the 245.4 N extend force to maintain consistent material tension during high-speed fabric weaving.
When sizing this actuator, consider stepping down to the SDA20 which yields 157.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa, or moving up to the SDA32 which provides 402.1 N at the same pressure. Based on the 245.4 N output, a safe working load is roughly 147 N (about 60 percent capacity), translating to a vertical lift capability near 12.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 25 mm bore, 130 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, female rod thread, and no magnet.
Because this is a double-acting cylinder, it does not hold its load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the piston will drift. The fixed NBR bumper only slows travel near the stroke extremes rather than acting as a locking brake. If your application requires suspended load holding, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 25 mm bore double-acting cylinder generates 245.4 N push and 206.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 343.6 N push and 288.6 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and it functions in environments from -20 to +70 C.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet, so it cannot host AirTAC reed or electronic switches. You would need the SDA25X130S variant for sensing capabilities. Additionally, end-of-travel deceleration is handled solely by a fixed NBR bumper, not an adjustable air cushion.
