The AirTAC AirTAC SDA50X60H 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 SDA50X60H is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered with a 50 mm bore and 60 mm stroke. It generates 981.7 N of push force and 824.7 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. This specific SKU utilizes an H-designated fluororubber (FKM) seal, elevating its resistance to higher ambient temperatures and oil exposure compared to the standard NBR configuration.
Designed with a short riveted body that integrates the barrel, rear cover, and piston, this unit drastically reduces axial mounting depth where a traditional round-body actuator cannot fit. The 20 mm piston rod utilizes a female M10x1.5 thread, and the hard-anodized bore ensures long service life. End-stopping is handled by a fixed NBR bumper which decelerates the piston near stroke limits, though it is not an adjustable air cushion.

Secures aluminum engine blocks during machining operations, using the 981.7 N extend force to hold parts rigidly against the spindle torque.
Indexes empty wooden pallets into a high-speed filling line, where the 50 kg vertical lift margin and 60 mm travel easily separate stacked components.
Ejects hot molded plastic parts from a press, leveraging the FKM seals to withstand ambient radiant heat and oil-laden environments.
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force requirements against its neighbors. Stepping down, the SDA40 provides 628.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up, the SDA63 yields 1558.6 N. For the SDA50X60H, the computed safe working load is approximately 589 N (about 60% of the 981.7 N figure at 0.5 MPa), translating to a vertical lift capacity of roughly 50 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Keep in mind a standard compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke end rather than locking the load—implement an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if position holding is mandatory. To order, confirm the 50 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, female rod thread, and FKM seal option.
Quick checklist
This 50 mm bore double-acting cylinder provides 981.7 N push and 824.7 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 1374.4 N push at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates between 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and runs at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
No, this specific SKU lacks the internal piston magnet, so it cannot trigger AirTAC reed or electronic switches. You would need the SDA50X60HS variant to utilize the magnetic-switch grooves around the body. Additionally, this model uses a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion.
