The AirTAC AirTAC SDA80X15B Compact Cylinder | 80mm Bore is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 15mm stroke, PT3/8 air ports and a riveted short body that saves mounting depth. Sensor slots around the body accept magnetic switches for position sensing.
The AirTAC SDA80X15B is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered to deliver substantial force within a minimal axial envelope. It generates 2513.3 N of push force and 2267.8 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for heavy-duty positioning tasks. The riveted body assembly significantly reduces overall mounting depth compared to standard round-body units, conserving valuable machine footprint space.
This specific SKU features a male-thread M22x1.5 piston rod end for secure mechanical load coupling, paired with a robust 25 mm rod diameter and PT3/8 air ports. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by fixed NBR bumpers rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning high-energy cycles may require an external shock absorber. Because this configuration lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot support magnetic position sensing.

Provides the high 2513.3 N push force needed to eject dense plastic parts from injection molding machinery, utilizing the short 15 mm stroke for rapid, localized stripping.
Acts as a compact press blank holder in sheet metal fabrication, where the male M22x1.5 rod end firmly secures clamping tooling against heavy steel blanks.
Functions as a heavy-duty stopping gate on high-mass pallet conveyors, using its robust 25 mm rod to absorb kinetic impact within a shallow machine frame.
Selecting this 80 mm bore model is appropriate when your application requires substantial thrust, such as the 2513.3 N generated at 0.5 MPa, within a tight 15 mm stroke. If your force requirements are lower, stepping down to the SDA63 provides 1558.6 N of push at 0.5 MPa. Conversely, if you need maximum power, the SDA100 offers 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. Keep in mind that a plain actuator like this does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the piston will drift, and the fixed bumper only decelerates it near the stroke end. For load-holding safety, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. When ordering, confirm the 80 mm bore, 15 mm stroke, PT3/8 porting, male M22x1.5 rod thread, and the absence of a sensor magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 2513.3 N and the pull force is 2267.8 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 3518.6 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 513 kgf at the 1.0 MPa operating pressure limit.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet, so it cannot support reed or electronic switches. You would need the SDA80X15BS variant for position sensing. Additionally, end stops rely on fixed NBR bumpers, not an adjustable air cushion.
