The AirTAC SDA80X60 Compact Cylinder | 80mm Bore is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 60mm 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 SDA80X60 is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered to deliver a robust 2513.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa. Its hard-anodized bore and two-way piston seal ensure reliable operation within the 0.15-1.0 MPa pressure range, while the 60 mm stroke moves substantial loads at speeds between 30 and 500 mm/s.
Designed with a short riveted body, this unit drastically reduces axial mounting depth compared to conventional round-body actuators, making it ideal for tight machine footprints. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning operators should slow the approach or add an external shock absorber for high-energy cycles. This specific SKU lacks a piston magnet and therefore cannot support magnetic sensing.

Drives heavy ejector pins in plastic injection molding machines where the 2513.3 N extend force breaks parts free from the mold cavity.
Pushes empty pallets into high-speed packaging conveyors, taking advantage of the short riveted body to fit within dense mechanical clearances.
When sizing this actuator, 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. To finalize your order, confirm the 80 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, and the female M14x1.5 rod-end thread. If your application requires position feedback, you must select the -S variant to enable reed or electronic switch integration.
Keep in mind that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not function as a lock or brake. If your machinery must hold a load securely without live pressure, incorporate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into the pneumatic circuit.
Quick checklist
This 80 mm bore double-acting cylinder generates 2513.3 N push and 2267.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 3518.6 N push and 3175 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push force is 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and runs at speeds from 30 to 500 mm/s.
No, end-of-travel deceleration relies solely on a fixed NBR bumper, not an adjustable air cushion. Additionally, this specific SKU does not have a piston magnet, so it cannot support magnetic switches. You would need the -S option to use reed or electronic switches for position feedback.
