The AirTAC 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.
Lifts and lowers heavy metal blanks in an automated stamping line, utilizing the 25 mm rod to handle 128.1 kg vertical loads with a 2:1 margin.
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. The SDA80X60 provides a safe working load of approximately 1508 N (about 60% of its 0.5 MPa rating) and a vertical lift capacity of roughly 128.1 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. 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.
