The AirTAC SDA80X5BH 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 SDA80X5BH is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered for high-force actuation within a minimal axial envelope. Utilizing a riveted body assembly, it saves crucial mounting depth where a conventional round-body unit would fail to fit. At 0.5 MPa, this 80 mm bore model generates 2513.3 N of push force and 2267.8 N of pull force, extending to 3518.6 N push at 0.7 MPa.
This specific SKU includes a male M22x1.5 threaded piston rod end for robust mechanical load coupling and an FKM (fluororubber) seal variant for enhanced thermal and oil resistance. The unit operates at 30-500 mm/s and relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke. Because this configuration lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot directly host AirTAC reed or electronic switches.

Drives short 5 mm insertion strokes to seat metal bushings into automotive transmission housings, leveraging 2513.3 N of extend force at 0.5 MPa.
Executes micro-stamping operations for sheet metal enclosures where the short riveted body minimizes machine footprint and the FKM seals resist thermal degradation.
Acts as a high-force mechanical stopper on heavy pallet lift systems, using the male M22x1.5 rod end to securely mount hardened stop pads.
When sizing this 80 mm bore unit, consider stepping down to the SDA63 which yields 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa, or stepping up to the SDA100 which provides 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa. Ensure you specify the PT3/8 port, the male M22x1.5 rod thread, and the FKM seal when ordering. Note that a standard compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only decelerates near the stroke end and does not function as a locking brake. To maintain vertical load position without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
The 80 mm bore generates 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. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa and a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
No, this specific SKU lacks the -S piston magnet, meaning it cannot host AirTAC reed or electronic switches. Additionally, end-stop deceleration is handled strictly by a fixed NBR bumper, not an adjustable air cushion, so external shock absorbers may be required for high-energy impacts.
