The AirTAC AirTAC SDA63X130 Compact Cylinder | 63mm Bore is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 130mm 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 SDA63X130 is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered to deliver a substantial 1558.6 N push force at 0.5 MPa. Its riveted assembly significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to traditional round-body units, making it highly effective for machinery where space is strictly limited. The bore is hard-anodized and paired with a two-way piston seal for reliable performance.
This specific 130 mm stroke configuration represents the maximum standard extension for the 63 mm bore, pushing the limits of the thin-body format. It relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston, meaning it is not an adjustable air cushion. Because this SKU lacks the S option, it has no piston magnet and cannot support position sensing.

When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force requirements carefully. Stepping down, the SDA50 provides 981.7 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDA80 yields 2513.3 N at the same pressure. For this 63 mm bore, the theoretical safe working load is approximately 935 N (about 60% of the 1558.6 N figure), 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 the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only slows travel near the stroke end and does not function as a locking brake. If your application demands load holding without live pressure, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. To order, confirm the 63 mm bore, 130 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, female M10x1.5 rod thread, and the absence of a magnet.
Quick checklist
This 63 mm bore double-acting cylinder generates 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 2182.1 N push and 1962.2 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push force is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and supports a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
No, this specific SKU does not include the S option, meaning it lacks a built-in piston magnet and cannot be used with AirTAC reed or electronic switches. You would need to specify the SDA63X130S variant to enable position sensing. Additionally, end-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper, not an adjustable air cushion.
