The AirTAC AirTAC SDA25X60S 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 SDA25X60S is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered to deliver a 245.4 N push force at 0.5 MPa. Its riveted assembly merges the barrel, rear cover, piston, and rod into a highly abbreviated unit, drastically reducing axial footprint compared to conventional round-body designs. This space efficiency is critical when mounting depth is restricted.
This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for direct compatibility with AirTAC reed or electronic switches via the body grooves. The unit relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, and the Ø10 mm piston rod utilizes an M5x0.8 female thread end for straightforward load coupling.

Actuates a routing blade to singulate printed circuit boards, utilizing the 60 mm stroke and 245.4 N push force to cleanly sever FR4 substrates without stressing surrounding components.
Drives a mechanical folding arm on a packaging line to tuck corrugated carton flaps prior to sealing, where the compact body minimizes interference in tight conveyor spacing.
Moves a pipetting head to dispense reagents into microplates, relying on the -S magnet and electronic switches for precise position feedback at the top and bottom of the 60 mm travel.
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force margins carefully. The SDA25X60S yields a 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, offering a safe working load around 147 N (approximately 60 percent of capacity) and a vertical lift capability near 12.5 kg with a 2:1 safety factor. If your application requires less force, the adjacent SDA20 provides 157.1 N; for heavier demands, the SDA32 steps up to 402.1 N. To finalize your order, confirm the 25 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, female rod thread, and the integrated magnet.
Note that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not function as a locking brake. If your machinery must hold a load securely without live pressure, incorporate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into the pneumatic circuit.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 245.4 N and the pull force is 206.2 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 343.6 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa.
No, it uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to absorb impact. It is not an adjustable air cushion. For high-speed or high-energy cycles, you should add an external shock absorber or reduce the approach speed.
