The AirTAC AirTAC SDA63X60BH 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 SDA63X60BH 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 significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body alternatives, freeing up valuable machine footprint in tight assemblies. Driven by a 63 mm bore and a 60 mm stroke, this unit operates at speeds between 30-500 mm/s.
This specific SKU is configured with a male M18x1.5 piston rod thread for robust load coupling, paired with a fluororubber (FKM) seal for enhanced thermal and oil resistance. The bore features a hard-anodized inner wall and a two-way piston seal. End-stopping is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning high-energy cycles may require an external shock absorber to prevent impact wear.

Drives ejection pins on a 150-ton injection molding press where the FKM seals withstand elevated ambient heat and the male M18x1.5 rod threads securely into the ejector plate.
Folds corrugated cardboard flaps on a high-speed case erector, utilizing the 60 mm stroke to clear the product path while the compact body minimizes frame interference.
Positions the back-gauge stop on a CNC press brake, providing 1558.6 N of extend force to hold the sheet metal reference firmly against vibration during forming.
When sizing this actuator, step down to the SDA50 which provides 981.7 N of push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the SDA80 which yields 2513.3 N at the same pressure. Based on the 1558.6 N output, the computed safe working load is approximately 935 N (60% capacity), translating to a vertical lift capability of about 79.4 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. To finalize your order, confirm the 63 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, male M18x1.5 rod, and FKM seal. Note that this configuration lacks a piston magnet, so position sensing is not supported without switching to the -S variant. Furthermore, a standard compact cylinder will drift and cannot hold a load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; maintaining vertical loads requires an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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 within a pressure range of 0.15-1.0 MPa, has a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and runs at speeds from 30-500 mm/s.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet, so it cannot trigger AirTAC reed or electronic switches. You would need to specify the -S option to enable sensing. Additionally, end-of-travel deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper, not an adjustable air cushion, so external shock absorption is advised for high-speed operations.
