The AirTAC SDA80X15SB 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 SDA80X15SB is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered to deliver substantial thrust in tight axial envelopes. 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 unibody design significantly reduces overall mounting depth compared to conventional round-body units, saving valuable machine footprint space.
This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for direct mounting of AirTAC reed or electronic switches along the body grooves, and a male M22x1.5 threaded piston rod (-B) for secure load coupling. End-of-travel deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning operators should incorporate external shock absorbers for high-energy cycling. The PT3/8 air port and 25 mm rod diameter ensure robust pneumatic flow and mechanical rigidity for this 80 mm bore class.

Uses the 2513.3 N extend force to knock heavy stamped metal panels out of progressive dies quickly within a confined press base.
Separates thick-walled plastic mold halves on small shuttle machines where the short 15 mm stroke and compact riveted body minimize axial interference.
Acts as a heavy-duty end-stop for inbound wooden pallets on a packaging line, absorbing impact via the fixed NBR bumper while the male M22x1.5 rod secures the stopper block.
When sizing this unit, evaluate your thrust requirements carefully. Stepping down to the SDA63 yields 1558.6 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the SDA100 provides 3927 N at the same pressure. Confirm your ordering essentials: 80 mm bore, 15 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, built-in magnet (S), and male M22x1.5 rod thread (B). Remember that a standard compact cylinder drifts if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke end and does not function as a locking brake. To hold a load securely without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your circuit.
Quick checklist
This 80 mm bore double-acting cylinder provides 2513.3 N push and 2267.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 3518.6 N push at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push force is 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates on filtered air between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and supports a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
It relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston, which is not an adjustable air cushion; for high-speed cycling, add external shock absorbers. The -S option includes a piston magnet for use with AirTAC reed or electronic switches, and the -B option specifies a male M22x1.5 threaded rod end for direct load mounting.
