The AirTAC AirTAC SDA80X15S 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 SDA80X15S is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered for high force in tight axial envelopes. It delivers a substantial 2513.3 N push and 2267.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for heavy-duty short-stroke tasks. The riveted unibody design integrates the barrel, rear cover, piston, and rod to drastically reduce overall length compared to conventional round-body actuators, saving valuable machine footprint.
This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet (the -S option) for position detection using an AirTAC reed or electronic switch seated in the body grooves. The 80mm bore features a 25mm piston rod, PT3/8 air ports, and female M14x1.5 rod-end threads. End-of-travel deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable cushion, which effectively absorbs impact energy within its compact frame.

Provides the rapid 2513.3 N push needed to eject heavy formed metal panels from a stamping die within a minimal axial mounting window.
Utilizes its short 15mm stroke and high force to break loose and separate large injection-molded plastic components from the core during automated demolding.
Lifts or indexes loaded pallets weighing up to 128.1 kg vertically, using the integrated magnet to confirm the exact 15mm travel limit for controls.
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force requirements against adjacent bores. Stepping down, the SDA63 provides 1558.6 N of push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up, the SDA100 yields 3927 N at the same pressure. For the SDA80X15S, a safe working load is approximately 1508 N (about 60% of its 0.5 MPa capacity), allowing a vertical lift of roughly 128.1 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. To finalize your order, confirm the 80mm bore, 15mm stroke, PT3/8 port, female M14x1.5 rod thread, and the required -S magnet option.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the control valve is centered. The piston will drift, and the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the load near the stroke end without acting as a mechanical lock. If your application demands strict position holding under load loss, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this double-acting cylinder provides 2513.3 N of push and 2267.8 N of pull. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 3518.6 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 513 kgf at the 1.0 MPa operating pressure limit.
It relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston, which is not an adjustable air cushion. Additionally, it does not function as a lock or brake; if air is lost, the piston will drift, so an external rod lock is required to hold a load securely.
