The AirTAC AirTAC SDA63X130B 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 SDA63X130B is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered to deliver 1558.6 N of push force and 1401.5 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Its riveted assembly merges the barrel, rear cover, piston, and rod into a highly shortened axial footprint, conserving valuable machine mounting depth where standard round bodies cannot fit. This specific configuration includes a male M18x1.5 piston rod thread for robust mechanical coupling to your load.
This 63 mm bore unit operates at speeds between 30 and 500 mm/s, utilizing a hard-anodized inner wall and a two-way piston seal. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled strictly by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet code, it cannot host AirTAC reed or electronic switches; position sensing requires the -S variant.

Drives precision routing cutters on automated PCB depaneling machines, utilizing the 130 mm travel to clear fixture boundaries during tool changes.
Executes 130 mm flap tucking strokes on high-speed corrugated box erectors, where the short body depth prevents interference with adjacent conveyor lanes.
Raises and lowers empty pallet stacks in automated warehouse distribution hubs, moving approximately 79.4 kg loads vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.
When sizing this actuator, consider stepping down to the SDA50, which provides 981.7 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, or moving up to the SDA80, which yields 2513.3 N at the same pressure. For the SDA63X130B, the theoretical safe working load is approximately 935 N (about 60% of the 1558.6 N figure at 0.5 MPa), allowing a vertical lift of roughly 79.4 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. To finalize your order, confirm the 63 mm bore, 130 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and the male M18x1.5 rod thread. Keep in mind a plain compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve centers; the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke end and does not function as a lock. To hold a load securely without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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 within a pressure range of 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and functions across a temperature span of -20 to +70 C.
No adjustable air cushion exists; the unit relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke. For high kinetic energy applications, slow the approach speed or mount an external shock absorber. Additionally, this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot accept AirTAC reed or electronic switches without upgrading to the -S magnet option.
