The AirTAC AirTAC SDA63X60 Compact Cylinder | 63mm Bore is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 60mm 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 SDA63X60 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 a highly shortened axial footprint, conserving valuable machine space where conventional round bodies cannot fit. The hard-anodized bore ensures durability, while the 20 mm piston rod provides a robust interface for industrial loads.
This 63 mm bore unit relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, meaning there is no field-adjustable air cushion to tune. Operating at speeds between 30 and 500 mm/s, this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet and therefore cannot support magnetic sensing. If position feedback is required, the SDA63X60S variant adds a magnet compatible with AirTAC reed or electronic switches.

Secures heavy cast iron engine blocks onto machining centers using 1558.6 N of extend force, with the short riveted body fitting neatly within tight fixture envelopes.
Stages empty wooden pallets on high-speed packaging lines, utilizing the 1401.5 N retract force to pull and index components without requiring excessive axial depth.
Actuates a mid-stroke lifting mechanism on conveyor transfers, safely handling a 79.4 kg vertical load thanks to a calculated 2:1 safety margin at 0.5 MPa.
When sizing this model, compare its 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa against adjacent bores: stepping down to the SDA50 yields 981.7 N, while stepping up to the SDA80 provides 2513.3 N. For practical application, the safe working load is approximately 935 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa figure), translating to a vertical lift capacity of roughly 79.4 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. To finalize your order, confirm the 63 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, female M10x1.5 rod thread, and the absence of a magnet.
Keep in mind that a standard double-acting cylinder does not inherently hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered. The piston will drift, and the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the load near the stroke end rather than locking it. If your application requires strict position holding without live pressure, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 1558.6 N and the pull force is 1401.5 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 2182.1 N and the pull force is 1962.2 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa, which is the maximum operating pressure.
No adjustable air cushion exists; it uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to absorb shock, so you may need an external shock absorber for high-energy loads. Additionally, this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, but choosing the SDA63X60S variant enables the use of AirTAC reed or electronic switches.
