The AirTAC SDA63X130SB 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 SDA63X130SB is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered to deliver a robust 1558.6 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Driven by a 63 mm bore, this unit features a 130 mm stroke, representing the maximum standard extension for this body size before requiring custom long-stroke configurations. The riveted unibody design merges the barrel and covers to drastically reduce axial mounting depth, a critical advantage when fitting high-force automation into tight machine footprints.
This specific configuration includes the -S piston magnet for direct mounting of AirTAC reed or electronic switches along the body grooves, plus the -B male-thread M18x1.5 piston rod end for secure mechanical load coupling. End-of-travel deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning operators should manage high kinetic energy externally. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.

Drives stripper plates out of heavy plastic injection molds where the short riveted body saves valuable daylight space between press platens.
Raises and lowers a 79.4 kg packaging pallet vertically, utilizing the 130 mm stroke to index goods into a robotic wrapping station.
Secures heavy cast iron automotive housings inside CNC machining centers, using the male M18x1.5 rod for rigid, high-force workholding.
Selecting this 63 mm bore yields 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, stepping down to the SDA50 provides 981.7 N; conversely, scaling up to the SDA80 offers 2513.3 N. Keep in mind that a plain SDA cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve centers—the fixed NBR bumper only softens the end stop and acts as neither a lock nor a brake. For suspended or vertical loads, incorporate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. When ordering, confirm the 63 mm bore, 130 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, built-in magnet (S), and male M18x1.5 rod thread (B).
Quick checklist
This 63 mm bore double-acting cylinder generates 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 2182.1 N and pull to 1962.2 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 318 kgf at the 1.0 MPa operating pressure limit.
No adjustable air cushion exists; it uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end solely to decelerate the piston near the stroke limits. Furthermore, the cylinder cannot hold a load if air is lost or the valve is centered—the piston will drift. You must add an external shock absorber for high speeds and a pilot-operated check valve for position holding.
