The AirTAC AirTAC SDA40X60H Compact Cylinder | 40mm Bore is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 60mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and a riveted short body that saves mounting depth. Sensor slots around the body accept magnetic switches for position sensing.
The AirTAC SDA40X60H is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for tight machinery footprints. Its riveted assembly significantly reduces overall length compared to conventional round-body units, yielding a robust 628.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa over a 60 mm stroke. This specific SKU features a fluororubber (FKM) seal for enhanced thermal and oil resistance, operating reliably across a 30-500 mm/s speed range.
A 16 mm piston rod provides a sturdy interface, accepting an M8x1.25 female thread at the rod end. End-of-travel deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable cushion, meaning high-energy cycles may require external shock absorption. Because this configuration lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot host magnetic position sensors.

Secures aluminum engine blocks during machining operations, utilizing the 628.3 N extend force to maintain rigid positioning against cutting vibrations.
Drives mechanical arms to tuck corrugated box flaps prior to tape sealing, where the 60 mm stroke and compact depth fit neatly within narrow conveyor frames.
Actuates small diverter gates on packaging lines to route pallets, taking advantage of the FKM seals to withstand occasional lubricant exposure.
When sizing this actuator, compare its 628.3 N thrust against adjacent bores: stepping down to the SDA32 yields 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa, while upgrading to the SDA50 provides 981.7 N. Based on the 0.5 MPa output, a safe working load is roughly 377 N (about 60% capacity), which translates to a vertical lift capability of approximately 32 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. To finalize your order, confirm the 40 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female rod thread, and FKM seal. Note that a standard cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost; holding a suspended load requires an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder generates 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push force is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates within a pressure range of 0.15-1.0 MPa and a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet, so it cannot support reed or electronic switches. You would need the -S option variant to enable magnetic position sensing. Additionally, end-stop deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper, not an adjustable air cushion.
