The AirTAC AirTAC SDA63X10SN 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 SDA63X10SN is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for high force in extremely tight axial spaces. It delivers a robust 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull at 0.5 MPa, making it highly effective for brief, powerful linear motions. The integrated piston magnet enables direct positioning feedback when paired with AirTAC reed or electronic switches fitted into the body grooves.
Featuring a 63 mm bore and a mere 10 mm stroke, this unit minimizes machine footprint where a conventional round-body actuator would be too deep. The 20 mm piston rod utilizes a female M10x1.5 thread for secure load coupling. End-of-travel deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, ensuring reliable stopping without adding bulk to the assembly.

Drives dowel pins into heavy steel fixtures with a short 10 mm power stroke, utilizing the 1558.6 N extend force to seat components rapidly without consuming valuable vertical machine envelope.
Executes crisp, fast folding of heavy corrugated cardboard flaps on high-speed packaging lines, where the short riveted body depth prevents interference with adjacent conveyor routing.
Kicks metal stamped parts out of a progressive die in confined machinery, relying on the hard-anodized 63 mm bore and fixed NBR bumpers to withstand repetitive impact loads.
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force margins carefully. Stepping down, the SDA50 provides 981.7 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the SDA80 yields 2513.3 N. For this 63 mm bore, a safe working load is approximately 935 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa capacity), translating to a vertical lift capability of roughly 79.4 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Note that a plain compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke end and does not function as a locking brake. If your application requires static load holding, incorporate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. To order, confirm the 63 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, built-in magnet, and female rod thread.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder generates 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 2182.1 N push at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push force is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates between 0.15-1.0 MPa, handles speeds of 30-500 mm/s, and functions in temperatures from -20 to +70 C.
No, the SDA series uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston near stroke completion; it is not an adjustable air cushion. Additionally, the cylinder does not lock or hold a load if air pressure drops. For load holding, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
