The AirTAC AirTAC SDA25X60 Compact Cylinder | 25mm Bore is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 60mm 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 SDA25X60 is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered to deliver a 245.4 N push force at 0.5 MPa. Its riveted assembly joins the barrel, rear cover, piston, and rod into a highly shortened unit, saving valuable axial mounting depth where a conventional round-body actuator would be too long. The hard-anodized bore wall minimizes friction, and the unit operates at speeds between 30 and 500 mm/s.
This specific 25 mm bore model features a 10 mm piston rod and an M5x0.8 air port. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning operators should slow the approach or add external shock absorbers for high-energy loads. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot support magnetic position sensing.

Uses the 245.4 N extend force to push routing flaps on a packaging sorter, where the short 60 mm stroke and compact riveted body fit within tight conveyor frame clearances.
Secures circuit boards during drilling with a 147 N safe working load, taking advantage of the non-magnetic standard piston for basic mechanical holding on an SMT line.
Pushes small logistics bins off a roller track at up to 500 mm/s, relying on the fixed NBR bumper to absorb the kinetic energy at the 60 mm stroke endpoint.
When sizing this actuator, compare its 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa against adjacent bores: stepping down to the SDA20 yields 157.1 N, while stepping up to the SDA32 provides 402.1 N. For this 60 mm stroke configuration, the theoretical safe working load is roughly 147 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa output), translating to a vertical lift capacity of approximately 12.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 25 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, female rod thread, and no sensor magnet.
Keep in mind that a standard double-acting cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered. The piston will drift, and the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the stroke near its end without acting as a lock. If your application requires a held load without live pressure, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa this 25 mm bore cylinder provides 245.4 N of push force and 206.2 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa the push increases to 343.6 N. The theoretical maximum push is 50 kgf at the 1.0 MPa operating pressure limit.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet, so it cannot trigger AirTAC reed or electronic switches. You would need to order the SDA25X60S variant to enable magnetic position detection along the body grooves.
