The AirTAC AirTAC SDA63X60H 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 SDA63X60H is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for tight axial spaces. It generates 1558.6 N of push force and 1401.5 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. This specific SKU features an FKM (fluororubber) seal, providing enhanced resistance to higher temperatures and oily environments compared to standard NBR. The riveted body design drastically reduces overall mounting depth where a conventional round-body unit would not fit.
Equipped with a 20 mm piston rod and PT1/4 air ports, this model operates at speeds between 30 and 500 mm/s. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning external shock absorbers should be added for high-energy cycling. This unit lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot support magnetic position sensing without switching to the -S variant.

Drives ejection pins in plastic injection molding machines where the FKM seal survives ambient heat and the 1558.6 N force clears finished parts reliably.
Indexes empty pallets into high-speed packaging lines, utilizing the 60 mm stroke and compact riveted body to fit within dense conveyor framework.
Positions sheet metal blanks in stamping presses, taking advantage of the 20 mm rod diameter to resist deflection during heavy-duty part seating.
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force requirements both ways: stepping down to the SDA50 yields 981.7 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDA80 provides 2513.3 N. At 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm bore achieves a safe working load of roughly 935 N (about 60% of its rated output) and can vertically lift approximately 79.4 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Be aware that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke end rather than locking the load. For suspended loads, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. To order, confirm the 63 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, female rod thread, and the FKM seal option.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder delivers a push force of 1558.6 N and a pull force of 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 2182.1 N. The theoretical maximum push is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet, so it cannot support magnetic sensing. You would need the -S variant to install a reed or electronic switch in the body grooves. Additionally, it uses a fixed NBR bumper for end deceleration, not an adjustable air cushion.
