The AirTAC AirTAC SDA63X100 Compact Cylinder | 63mm Bore is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 100mm 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 SDA63X100 is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered to deliver a substantial 1558.6 N push force at 0.5 MPa. By utilizing a short riveted body assembly, it drastically reduces axial mounting depth compared to conventional round-body units, saving valuable machine footprint in tight spaces. The hard-anodized bore and two-way piston seal ensure reliable service across millions of cycles.
This specific configuration features a 100 mm stroke and a 20 mm piston rod. End-stopping is handled by a fixed NBR bumper which decelerates the piston near stroke limits; it is not an adjustable air cushion. Note that this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, so it cannot host reed or electronic switches for position sensing.

Drives small bearings into automotive gearbox housings, utilizing the 1558.6 N extend force to seat components flush without requiring a massive hydraulic press.
Lifts loaded machining pallets weighing up to 79.4 kg vertically within an assembly cell, where the compact 100 mm stroke minimizes the required overhead clearance.
Actuates heavy cardboard side flaps on a continuous carton sealing line, providing the robust push needed to close thick corrugated materials at speed.
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force margins carefully. Stepping down, the SDA50 provides 981.7 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the SDA80 yields 2513.3 N. For the SDA63X100, a safe working load is approximately 935 N (about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa figure), translating to a vertical lift capacity of roughly 79.4 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end rather than locking the load. To hold a vertical position securely without live pressure, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Confirm your ordering essentials: 63 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, female M10x1.5 rod thread, and no sensor magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 1558.6 N and the pull force is 1401.5 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 2182.1 N and pull is 1962.2 N. The theoretical maximum push is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, with a speed of 30-500 mm/s.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S option, meaning it lacks a piston magnet and cannot trigger AirTAC reed or electronic switches. You would need to specify the -S variant to utilize the built-in sensor grooves around the body for position feedback.
