The AirTAC AirTAC SDA80X60S 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 SDA80X60S is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered to deliver a substantial 2513.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa. Its riveted assembly merges the barrel, rear cover, piston, and rod into a highly shortened axial footprint, conserving valuable machine depth where conventional round bodies cannot fit. A hard-anodized bore and two-way piston seal ensure durable operation.
This unit includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for direct mounting of AirTAC reed or electronic switches along the body grooves. End-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable cushion, meaning external shock absorbers should be added for high-energy 60mm strokes. It features a 25mm piston rod and PT3/8 ports.

Pushes heavy metal blanks out of a progressive die using 2513.3 N of extend force, where the shortened body length avoids interfering with the press tooling.
Raises 128 kg layer-forming platens vertically in packaging lines, utilizing the 60mm stroke and a 2:1 safety margin for reliable vertical lift.
Parts large plastic molds on an injection molding machine, relying on the 25mm rod to handle high stripping resistance without excessive axial mounting depth.
Selecting this 80mm bore provides a safe working load of roughly 1508 N (about 60% of its 0.5 MPa capacity), translating to a vertical lift of approximately 128.1 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. If you need less force, the adjacent SDA63 offers 1558.6 N at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the SDA100 yields 3927 N. Keep in mind that a plain compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end rather than locking the load. For suspended loads, integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. When ordering, confirm the 80mm bore, 60mm stroke, PT3/8 port, female rod-end thread, and the required magnetic switch option.
Quick checklist
This 80mm bore double-acting cylinder generates 2513.3 N push and 2267.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 3518.6 N push at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push force is 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa, operating within a 0.15-1.0 MPa pressure range.
The -S magnet solely enables position detection with AirTAC reed or electronic switches in the body grooves. End-stop deceleration is still handled by a fixed NBR bumper, which is not an adjustable air cushion or a locking brake, so external shock absorbers are recommended for high-speed 60mm strokes.
