The AirTAC AirTAC SDA63X10BH 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 SDA63X10BH is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered to deliver a robust 1558.6 N push force at 0.5 MPa within a minimal axial footprint. Its short riveted body design significantly reduces mounting depth compared to traditional round-body units, making it ideal for machinery where longitudinal space is strictly limited. This specific configuration includes a 10mm stroke and a 20mm piston rod.
This SKU is highly specialized, featuring a male M18x1.5 threaded rod end for secure mechanical load coupling, alongside high-temperature fluororubber (FKM) seals denoted by the -H option. It operates without a piston magnet, meaning magnetic position sensing is not supported on this unit. Instead of an adjustable air cushion, deceleration at the 10mm stroke endpoints relies on a fixed NBR bumper.

Drives short 10mm ejection pins inside hot mold environments, leveraging the FKM seals to withstand elevated ambient temperatures while fitting into shallow mold plates.
Applies over 1558 N of clamping pressure to secure heavy automotive castings during machining operations, using the male M18x1.5 rod for rigid tooling attachment.
Executes rapid 10mm tucks on heavy corrugated packaging flaps within dense conveyor lines, where the compact riveted body saves critical axial mounting space.
When sizing this 63mm bore actuator, consider stepping down to the SDA50, which yields 981.7 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, or moving up to the SDA80, which provides 2513.3 N at the same pressure. For this 10mm stroke variant, the theoretical safe working load is approximately 935 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa output), translating to a vertical lift capacity of roughly 79.4 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Keep in mind that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or a valve is centered, as the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke end rather than locking the load; utilize an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if position holding is required. To order, confirm the 63mm bore, 10mm stroke, PT1/4 port, male M18x1.5 rod thread, FKM seals, and the absence of a sensor magnet.
Quick checklist
This 63mm bore cylinder generates a push force of 1558.6 N and a pull force of 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 2182.1 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates within a pressure range of 0.15-1.0 MPa, handles speeds of 30-500 mm/s, and functions in temperatures from -20 to +70 C.
No, this specific SKU lacks the -S option, meaning it has no piston magnet and cannot support reed or electronic switches. Additionally, it does not feature an adjustable air cushion; it relies solely on a fixed NBR bumper to decelerate the piston at the stroke ends. For high-energy impacts, an external shock absorber is recommended.
