The AirTAC SDA63X100H 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 SDA63X100H is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered for demanding spatial constraints. Its riveted assembly significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to conventional round-body units, delivering a robust 1558.6 N push force at 0.5 MPa alongside a 100 mm stroke. This specific H-suffix configuration utilizes fluororubber (FKM) seals for enhanced thermal and oil resistance within the standard -20 to +70 C operating range.
The unit features a hard-anodized 63 mm bore and a 20 mm piston rod. End-stop deceleration is managed by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning external shock absorbers are recommended for high-energy cycles. Because this SKU lacks the S magnet option, it cannot host AirTAC reed or electronic switches.

Secures heavy cast iron engine blocks during machining operations, utilizing the 1558.6 N extend force to maintain rigid positioning against cutting forces.
Indexes empty wooden pallets into high-speed filling lines, where the 100 mm stroke and compact riveted body minimize frame interference.
Actuates a gravity divert gate on a conveyor system, safely managing the 79.4 kg vertical load capacity with controlled bumper deceleration.
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your neighbors: stepping down to the SDA50 yields 981.7 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger SDA80 provides 2513.3 N. To finalize your order, confirm the 63 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, female M10x1.5 rod thread, and the FKM seal option.
Keep in mind that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The fixed bumper only decelerates the piston near stroke end and does not function as a locking brake. If your machinery requires absolute position holding under load loss, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 63 mm bore actuator generates 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 2182.1 N and pull to 1962.2 N. The theoretical maximum push is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
This specific SKU does not include a piston magnet, so it cannot support AirTAC reed or electronic switches. End-of-travel deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper, which is not an adjustable air cushion. For high-speed applications, add external shock absorbers to prevent impact damage.
