The AirTAC AirTAC SDA63X80B Compact Cylinder | 63mm Bore is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 80mm 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 SDA63X80B is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered to deliver a robust 1558.6 N push force at 0.5 MPa. Its riveted assembly merges the barrel, rear cover, piston, and rod into a highly shortened unit, drastically reducing axial mounting depth compared to conventional round-body designs. This space efficiency is critical when optimizing tight machine footprints.
This specific configuration includes a male M18x1.5 threaded piston rod end for secure mechanical load coupling. The unit operates at speeds between 30-500 mm/s and relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot support magnetic reed or electronic switches.

Secures machining pallets inside automated cells where the shortened body depth prevents interference with moving spindle carriages.
Deploys the 80 mm stroke to fold and square heavy corrugated carton blanks, utilizing the 1558.6 N extend force to overcome board stiffness.
Actuates diverter gates on palletizing lines, where the male M18x1.5 rod end firmly mounts to heavy mechanical linkage arms.
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force requirements against its neighbors: 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. The 63 mm bore offers a calculated safe working load of roughly 935 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa figure), translating to a vertical lift capacity of approximately 79.4 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
Ensure your ordering essentials match the 63 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and the male M18x1.5 rod thread. Note that a plain compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates near the stroke end and does not function as a lock. If your application must hold a load without live pressure, 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, push is 2182.1 N and pull is 1962.2 N. The theoretical maximum push is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a speed of 30-500 mm/s.
No. It uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, which is not a field-adjustable air cushion. Additionally, this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accommodate reed or electronic switches. For high-energy cycles, slow the approach or add external shock absorbers.
