The AirTAC AirTAC SDA63X60SB 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 SDA63X60SB 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 abbreviated unit, drastically reducing axial mounting depth where a conventional round-body actuator would be too long. Driven by a 20 mm piston rod, this model is built for rigorous linear motion tasks.
This specific configuration includes the S option, equipping the piston with a built-in magnet for direct compatibility with AirTAC reed or electronic switches via the body grooves. The B suffix denotes a male M18x1.5 threaded rod end for robust mechanical coupling. Stopping is handled by a fixed NBR bumper at each end, which absorbs end-stop impact without requiring field adjustment.

Secures heavy cast iron engine blocks during CNC machining operations, utilizing the 1558.6 N push force to maintain rigid positioning against cutting forces.
Indexes empty wooden pallets into an automated packaging line, where the short 60 mm stroke and space-saving riveted body fit neatly within tight conveyor framework.
Drives the secondary ejection stage for thick-walled plastic automotive interior panels, relying on the male M18x1.5 rod end to thread securely into the ejection plate.
When sizing this 63 mm bore actuator, consider stepping down to the SDA50, which provides 981.7 N of push at 0.5 MPa, or moving up to the SDA80, which yields 2513.3 N at the same pressure. Based on the 1558.6 N output at 0.5 MPa, a safe working load is approximately 935 N, 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, S magnet, and male M18x1.5 rod thread.
Keep in mind that a standard compact cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the piston will drift, and the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke near its limits. If your application demands strict load holding without live pressure, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 63 mm bore double-acting cylinder provides 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, it delivers 2182.1 N push and 1962.2 N pull. The theoretical maximum push force is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the SDA series uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston, rather than an adjustable air cushion. For high-speed or high-energy cycles, you should add an external shock absorber or slow down the approach speed.
