The AirTAC AirTAC SDA50X60B Compact Cylinder | 50mm Bore is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 60mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and a riveted short body that saves mounting depth. Sensor slots around the body accept magnetic switches for position sensing.
The AirTAC SDA50X60B is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered to deliver 981.7 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Its riveted body construction merges the barrel, rear cover, piston, and rod into a highly shortened assembly, saving valuable axial mounting depth where a standard round-body unit would simply not fit. The hard-anodized bore and two-way piston seal ensure durable, low-friction operation.
This specific SKU features a male M18x1.5 threaded piston rod end (denoted by the B option) for secure mechanical coupling to your load, alongside a 20 mm rod diameter and PT1/4 air ports. It relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, meaning it is not an adjustable air cushion. Because this configuration lacks the S magnet option, it cannot support magnetic position sensing.

Actuates a routing flap on a logistics conveyor to redirect 40 kg cartons, utilizing the 60 mm stroke and male M18x1.5 rod to push packages cleanly into secondary sorting lanes.
Applies downward clamping pressure to hold corrugated boxes steady during automated strapping cycles, taking advantage of the shortened body to fit within tight overhead gantry clearances.
Drives a secondary ejector pin plate to release molded plastic components from a tool, relying on the 981.7 N extend force to overcome part adhesion without demanding excessive axial footprint.
When sizing this actuator, consider stepping down to the SDA40, which provides 628.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, or moving up to the SDA63, which yields 1558.6 N at the same pressure. Based on the 981.7 N output at 0.5 MPa, a safe working load is approximately 589 N (about 60% of capacity), translating to a vertical lift capability of roughly 50 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. To finalize your order, confirm the 50 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, male M18x1.5 rod thread, and the absence of a sensor magnet. Keep in mind that a plain cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the piston will drift, and the fixed bumper only decelerates near the stroke end rather than locking the position. For applications requiring a held load, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder provides 981.7 N push and 824.7 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 1374.4 N push and 1154.5 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates on filtered air between 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and supports a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
No, this model uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, which is not a field-adjustable air cushion; for high energy cycles you should add an external shock absorber. Additionally, because this SKU lacks the S option, it has no piston magnet and cannot accept reed or electronic switches.
