The AirTAC AirTAC SDA80X60SB 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 SDA80X60SB is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation within a minimal axial footprint. Its riveted body assembly significantly reduces mounting depth compared to conventional round-body units, yielding a robust 2513.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa alongside a 25 mm piston rod. This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet for position sensing and a male M22x1.5 threaded rod end for secure load coupling.
End-of-travel deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning high-energy cycles at the 30-500 mm/s speed range may require an external shock absorber to prevent impact wear. The PT3/8 air ports supply the volume needed for the 80 mm bore, while the integrated magnet supports AirTAC reed or electronic switches along the body grooves.

Actuates heavy stamping die loaders in automotive plants, utilizing the 2513.3 N push force to shift substantial tooling plates within confined press columns.
Drives large corrugated cartons onto heavy wooden pallets at the end of packaging lines, where the 60 mm stroke and male M22x1.5 rod provide secure mechanical pushing.
Provides secondary ejection force for large plastic molded parts, using the built-in magnet to trigger AirTAC electronic switches for precise mold release timing.
When sizing this 80 mm bore model, stepping down to the SDA63 yields 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the SDA100 provides 3927 N. The SDA80X60SB generates a safe working load of roughly 1508 N (about 60% of its 0.5 MPa rating) and can vertically lift approximately 128.1 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. To finalize your order, confirm the 80 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, male M22x1.5 rod thread, and the required magnetic sensor option.
Because this is a standard double-acting cylinder, it will not hold a load if air pressure drops or the control valve centers; the piston will drift and the fixed bumper only decelerates it near the stroke end. If your application demands strict position holding without live pressure, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into the pneumatic circuit.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 2513.3 N and the pull force is 2267.8 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 3518.6 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 513 kgf at the 1.0 MPa operating pressure limit.
No, it uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, which is not an adjustable air cushion. Additionally, it does not function as a lock or brake; if air is lost, the piston drifts and requires an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a load.
