The AirTAC AirTAC SDA63X130H 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 SDA63X130H is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for substantial actuation tasks, delivering 1558.6 N of push force and 1401.5 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Featuring a 63 mm bore and a 130 mm stroke, this unit utilizes a hard-anodized inner wall and a two-way piston seal to ensure longevity. The -H designation indicates a fluororubber (FKM) seal variant, offering enhanced resistance to higher temperatures and oil exposure compared to standard NBR seals.
Its short riveted body design significantly reduces axial mounting depth, saving valuable machine footprint where a conventional round-body actuator would be too bulky. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper at each end, which absorbs impact energy but is not a field-adjustable air cushion. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot directly host AirTAC reed or electronic switches without modification.

Drives ejection pins in plastic injection molding machines where the FKM seals withstand residual heat and the 1558.6 N push force reliably clears finished parts from the mold cavity.
Indexes empty pallets into high-speed packaging lines, utilizing the 130 mm stroke and compact riveted body to fit within tight conveyor framework without excessive axial protrusion.
Raises and lowers pressing platens in CNC wood routing cells, taking advantage of the 20 mm piston rod and fixed NBR bumpers to absorb the repetitive impact of vertical platen returns.
When sizing this model, consider stepping down to the SDA50, which provides 981.7 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, or stepping up to the SDA80, which yields 2513.3 N at the same pressure. For the SDA63X130H, a practical 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. Keep in mind that a standard compact cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the piston will drift, and the fixed bumper only decelerates near the stroke end rather than locking the rod. For applications requiring suspended load holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is necessary. Confirm your ordering essentials: 63 mm bore, 130 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, female M10x1.5 rod thread, and FKM seals.
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 and 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and runs at speeds from 30 to 500 mm/s.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S piston magnet, so it cannot trigger AirTAC reed or electronic switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. Additionally, deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper, not an adjustable air cushion, so external shock absorbers are recommended for high-energy loads.
