The AirTAC AirTAC SDA63X150 Compact Cylinder | 63mm Bore is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 150mm 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 SDA63X150 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 merges the barrel, rear cover, piston, and rod into an exceptionally short axial package, drastically reducing the machine footprint required compared to conventional round-body units.
This specific 150 mm stroke exceeds the 130 mm maximum standard stroke for the 63 mm bore, making it a non-standard, made-to-order configuration. The bore features a hard-anodized inner wall, and end-stopping relies strictly on a fixed NBR bumper rather than a field-adjustable air cushion. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet code, it cannot host reed or electronic switches.

Pushes heavy machined aluminum pallets out of an enclosed CNC machining center, utilizing the 1558.6 N extend force to overcome guide friction.
Raises corrugated carton forming mandrels in a high-speed packaging line, where the 79.4 kg safe vertical lift capacity handles the platen weight.
Acts as a secondary knock-out ram on a plastics injection molding machine, providing positive ejection force within a tight machinery cell.
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 the SDA63X150, the 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 will drift and cannot hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the piston near the stroke end rather than locking it. To secure a suspended load, incorporate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Confirm your ordering essentials: 63 mm bore, 150 mm non-standard stroke, PT1/4 port, female M10x1.5 rod thread, and no sensor 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 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and travels at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
The 150 mm stroke is non-standard and made-to-order, as it exceeds the 130 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. End-of-travel deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper, not an adjustable air cushion. For high-energy cycles, you should slow the approach speed or add an external shock absorber.
