The AirTAC AirTAC SDA80X5B Compact Cylinder | 80mm Bore is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 5mm 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 SDA80X5B is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered to deliver a substantial 2513.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa within a minimal axial footprint. Its riveted body assembly significantly reduces mounting depth compared to conventional round-body units, making it highly effective for machinery where space is strictly limited. The unit features a hard-anodized 80 mm bore and operates at speeds between 30-500 mm/s.
This specific configuration includes a male M22x1.5 piston rod thread (denoted by the B option) for robust mechanical coupling to your load. Because this SKU lacks the S option, it has no piston magnet and cannot support magnetic sensing. End-of-stroke energy is managed solely by a fixed NBR bumper, which decelerates the piston near stroke end but is not an adjustable air cushion or a locking mechanism.

Provides high-force clamping on injection molding equipment, utilizing the 5 mm micro-stroke to rapidly secure mold halves without consuming valuable machine length.
Ejects dense metal stampings from a press bed, where the 2513.3 N extend force at 0.5 MPa easily pushes rigid parts clear of the die cavity.
Acts as a heavy-duty mechanical stop in automated pallet handling lines, using the male M22x1.5 rod end to absorb the impact of incoming loads.
When sizing this unit, evaluate your force requirements carefully. Stepping down, the SDA63 provides 1558.6 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the SDA100 yields 3927 N. This SDA80X5B strikes a balance, offering a safe working load of roughly 1508 N (about 60% of its 0.5 MPa capacity) and a vertical lift capability of approximately 128.1 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 80 mm bore, 5 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, male M22x1.5 rod thread, and no sensor magnet.
Be aware that a standard compact cylinder cannot hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered. The piston will drift, and the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates it near the end of travel. If your application demands strict position holding without live pressure, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
Quick checklist
The SDA80X5B generates 2513.3 N push and 2267.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 3518.6 N. The theoretical maximum push is 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
No, this specific SKU does not include the S option, meaning it lacks a piston magnet and cannot be used with reed or electronic switches. To add sensing capabilities, you must order the SDA80X5BS variant. Additionally, this model uses a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion.
