The AirTAC SDA80X5H 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 SDA80X5H is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered for high-force tasks in tight axial spaces. Delivering a substantial 2513.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it features a short riveted body that drastically reduces mounting depth compared to conventional round-body units. This specific SKU includes an H-designated fluororubber (FKM) seal for superior heat and oil resistance, operating reliably within the -20 to +70 C range.
Built with a hard-anodized 80 mm bore and a robust 25 mm piston rod, the unit handles operating pressures up to 1.0 MPa. Instead of an adjustable air cushion, it relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke. Because this 5 mm stroke SKU lacks the S magnet option, it cannot support magnetic position sensing.

Ideal for driving a high-tonnage stamping die in a confined press base, utilizing the 5 mm travel to emboss thick gauge steel plates.
Functions as a rapid part ejection mechanism on an injection molding line, using its 2513.3 N output to break vacuum and free dense plastic components.
Serves as the primary actuator in an automated riveting station, applying brief, high-impact clamping force to secure automotive chassis brackets.
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. Keep in mind that a standard double-acting 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. For suspended loads, utilize an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. To order, confirm the 80 mm bore, 5 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, FKM seals, and the standard female M14x1.5 rod-end thread.
Quick checklist
This 80 mm bore cylinder generates 2513.3 N push and 2267.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 3518.6 N and pull to 3175 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure rating of 1.5 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include the S piston magnet, so it cannot support reed or electronic switches. Additionally, it uses a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, so external shock absorbers should be added for high-energy impacts.
