The AirTAC AirTAC SDA25X60B 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 SDA25X60B 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 riveted body assembly keeps the total axial length exceptionally short, directly reducing the machine footprint where a conventional round-body unit would be too deep. The bore is hard-anodized and utilizes a two-way piston seal for reliable pneumatic performance.
This specific SKU features a male M8x1.25 threaded piston rod end for straightforward load coupling. Because it lacks the -S option, there is no piston magnet, meaning it cannot host AirTAC reed or electronic switches. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled strictly by fixed NBR bumpers rather than an adjustable air cushion, so high-energy cycles may require external shock absorption.

Provides the 245.4 N push stroke needed to positively eject drill bits from a CNC spindle collet, where the male M8x1.25 rod threads directly into the ejection platen.
Drives a mechanical folder arm on a case erector, using its 60 mm stroke and fixed NBR bumpers to absorb the repetitive impact of folding corrugated cardboard flaps.
Actuates a routing flap on a parcel sorting line, saving valuable axial space beneath the conveyor rollers with its short riveted body while handling high-speed routing tasks.
Selecting this 25 mm bore model provides a safe working load of roughly 147 N (about 60% of its 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa) and a vertical lift capacity near 12.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the SDA20 yields 157.1 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDA32 provides 402.1 N. Confirm your ordering essentials: 25 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, male M8x1.25 rod, and no sensor magnet.
Keep in mind that a standard compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the NBR bumpers only decelerate the stroke end rather than locking the load. If your process demands strict position holding 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 and the pull to 288.6 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. To use AirTAC reed or electronic switches, you must order the -S variant. Additionally, this version uses a male M8x1.25 threaded rod end instead of the standard female M5x0.8.
