The AirTAC SDA63X60S 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 SDA63X60S is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered to deliver a robust 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull at 0.5 MPa. Its riveted assembly unites the barrel, rear cover, piston, and rod to drastically reduce axial mounting depth, offering a highly space-efficient footprint compared to conventional round-body units. The 63 mm bore features a hard-anodized inner wall and a two-way piston seal for extended operational life.
This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for direct mounting of AirTAC reed or electronic switches along the body grooves. End-of-stroke energy is managed solely by a fixed NBR bumper, meaning there is no field-adjustable air cushion. Operating at speeds of 30-500 mm/s, it utilizes a PT1/4 port and a 20 mm rod to handle substantial loads within a minimal envelope.

Utilizes the 1558.6 N extend force to positively eject heavy molded plastic components from tooling cavities where machine axis length is strictly limited.
Pushes loaded pallets onto secondary packaging lines, taking advantage of the short 60 mm stroke and riveted body to fit inside tight conveyor frame structures.
When sizing this model, evaluate your force requirements carefully: 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. If your mechanism must maintain its position during a pressure drop or valve centering, note that this cylinder will drift; the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke end and does not act as a lock, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for holding. To order, confirm the 63 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, female M10x1.5 rod thread, and the required -S magnet.
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 is 2182.1 N and the pull is 1962.2 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa, which is the maximum operating pressure.
No, end-of-travel deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper, not an adjustable air cushion. For high kinetic energy loads, add an external shock absorber. Additionally, the cylinder will not hold a load if air pressure is lost; the bumper only slows the piston near stroke end and acts as neither a brake nor a lock.
