The AirTAC SDA63X10SB 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 SDA63X10SB is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered for high force in tight axial spaces. Delivering a robust 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa, this unit features a 63 mm bore and a 10 mm stroke. Its riveted body design drastically reduces mounting depth compared to traditional round-body cylinders, making it ideal for machinery where footprint minimization is critical. The bore is hard-anodized and utilizes a two-way piston seal for reliable operation.
This specific configuration includes an integrated piston magnet (-S) for position sensing via AirTAC reed or electronic switches fitted into the body grooves. It is also equipped with a male-thread piston rod (-B) sized at M18x1.5, providing a robust coupling point for your load. Instead of an adjustable air cushion, the cylinder relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke. Operating speed ranges from 30-500 mm/s, and the PT1/4 port ensures adequate airflow for its 20 mm diameter rod.

Provides a short 10 mm kick-out stroke to eject heavy stamped metal panels from a press die, utilizing the 1558.6 N push force to overcome die friction.
Acts as a compact positioning stop gate in an automated palletizing cell, where the short riveted body saves Z-axis height and the male M18x1.5 rod secures the stopper block.
Secures smaller injection mold inserts during a molding cycle, using the built-in magnet and an electronic switch to confirm the 10 mm clamp position to the PLC.
If your application requires less force, the adjacent SDA50 offers 981.7 N at 0.5 MPa; conversely, stepping up to the SDA80 yields 2513.3 N at 0.5 MPa for heavier demands. Keep in mind that a plain compact cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered—the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end and acts as neither a lock nor a brake. To hold a load securely without live pressure, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. When ordering, confirm the 63 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, built-in magnet (S), and male M18x1.5 rod thread (B).
Quick checklist
The SDA63X10SB 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 is 318 kgf at the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa.
It uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston near the stroke limits; it is not an adjustable air cushion. For high-speed or high-energy cycles, add an external shock absorber. Additionally, it cannot hold a vertical load if air pressure is lost—the piston will drift, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for position holding.
