The AirTAC AirTAC SDA63X100B 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 SDA63X100B is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered to deliver 1558.6 N of push force and 1401.5 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. By utilizing a short riveted body that permanently joins the barrel, rear cover, piston, and rod, this unit drastically reduces axial mounting depth compared to traditional round-body cylinders. This space-saving footprint is ideal for machinery where overall length is restricted.
This specific configuration includes a male-thread piston rod end (M18x1.5) for secure mechanical coupling to your load, paired with a 20 mm piston rod diameter and PT1/4 air ports. The bore features a hard-anodized surface with a two-way piston seal, and the body incorporates grooves for standard AirTAC accessories. End-stopping is handled by a fixed NBR bumper which decelerates the piston near stroke limits; it is not an adjustable air cushion. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot directly host reed or electronic switches.

Drives the folding mechanism on automated packaging lines, utilizing the 100 mm stroke to open and close heavy corrugated flaps rapidly within a constrained frame.
Pushes stamped metal parts out of a press die, applying 1558.6 N of extend force to break the part free before the robotic arm extracts it.
Actuates a diverter gate on a palletizing conveyor, where the short riveted body minimizes protrusion into the adjacent walkway while moving 79.4 kg loads.
When sizing this actuator, stepping down to the SDA50 yields 981.7 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDA80 provides 2513.3 N, allowing you to scale your drive precisely. Based on the 1558.6 N output at 0.5 MPa, the computed safe working load is approximately 935 N (60% capacity), translating to a vertical lift capability of roughly 79.4 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Ensure your ordering essentials are correct: 63 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, male M18x1.5 rod thread, and no sensor magnet. Note that a plain compact cylinder drifts if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke end and does not function as a lock. To suspend a load safely without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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, the push force is 2182.1 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 318 kgf at the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa.
It relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston, which is not a field-adjustable air cushion. If air is lost, the piston drifts; the bumper is not a lock or brake, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required to hold a load.
