The AirTAC AirTAC SDA63X130BH 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 SDA63X130BH is a double-acting compact cylinder engineered for substantial force delivery in tight axial envelopes. Operating at 0.5 MPa, it generates 1558.6 N of push force and 1401.5 N of pull force, making it suitable for heavy-duty positioning tasks. This specific SKU includes a male M18x1.5 piston rod thread for robust mechanical coupling and utilizes fluororubber (FKM) seals for enhanced thermal and oil resistance.
Its riveted body design significantly reduces overall mounting depth compared to conventional round-body units, saving valuable machine footprint. The 63 mm bore features a PT1/4 port and a 20 mm rod diameter. Because this model lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot directly host AirTAC reed or electronic switches. End-stop deceleration is handled strictly by a fixed NBR bumper, which is not an adjustable air cushion.

Ideal for driving mechanical bushings into automotive transmission housings, utilizing the 1558.6 N push force at 0.5 MPa to seat components reliably.
Provides consistent retraction force for ejector plates in plastic injection molding setups, where the FKM seals withstand elevated ambient temperatures.
Controls heavy-duty diverter gates on automated warehouse conveyors, using the 130 mm stroke to redirect palletized goods efficiently.
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 delivers 2513.3 N at the same pressure. For the SDA63X130BH, the theoretical safe working load is approximately 935 N (about 60% of the 1558.6 N figure at 0.5 MPa), translating to a vertical lift capacity of roughly 79.4 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Ensure your ordering essentials match this configuration: 63 mm bore, 130 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, male M18x1.5 rod thread, and FKM seals. Note that a standard 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 lock. To hold a load securely without live pressure, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 63 mm bore double-acting cylinder delivers 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 force is 2182.1 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 318 kgf at the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet option, meaning it cannot host AirTAC reed or electronic switches. Additionally, it relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, which is not an adjustable air cushion; for high-speed operations, you should add an external shock absorber.
