The AirTAC AirTAC SDA63X10B Compact Cylinder | 63mm Bore is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 10mm 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 SDA63X10B is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered to deliver a substantial 1558.6 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Its riveted assembly merges the barrel, rear cover, piston, and rod into an ultra-short unit, drastically reducing axial mounting depth where a conventional round-body actuator would be too intrusive. The 63 mm bore features a hard-anodized inner wall and operates on filtered 40 µm air.
This specific SKU includes a male-thread M18x1.5 piston rod end for secure mechanical load coupling. Because it lacks the -S magnet code, it cannot host AirTAC reed or electronic switches. End-of-travel deceleration relies strictly on fixed NBR bumpers rather than a field-adjustable air cushion, meaning operators should slow the approach or add external shock absorbers for high-energy loads.

Provides the rapid 10 mm ejection stroke for plastic parts inside tight mold platens, utilizing the short riveted body to save valuable axial machine space.
Actuates short-stroke clamping mechanisms in metal forming equipment, taking advantage of the 1558.6 N push force and the rigid male M18x1.5 rod connection.
Drives the compact sealing heads on high-speed packaging lines, where the fixed NBR bumpers reliably absorb the repetitive end-of-stroke impact.
When sizing this 63 mm bore actuator, evaluate your force margins carefully. Stepping down to the SDA50 yields 981.7 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the SDA80 provides 2513.3 N. The SDA63X10B itself offers a safe working load of roughly 935 N (about 60% of its 1558.6 N output) and can vertically lift approximately 79.4 kg with a 2:1 safety factor. Ensure you specify the 10 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and male M18x1.5 rod thread when ordering.
Keep in mind that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The fixed NBR bumper only softens the impact near the stroke end and does not function as a locking brake. If your application must hold a load without live pressure, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This double-acting 63 mm bore cylinder provides 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, it outputs 2182.1 N push and 1962.2 N pull. The theoretical maximum push force is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa, with an operating pressure range of 0.15-1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S option, so it lacks a piston magnet and cannot trigger AirTAC reed or electronic switches. Additionally, end-stop deceleration is handled by fixed NBR bumpers, not an adjustable air cushion.
