The AirTAC AirTAC SDA80X80 Compact Cylinder | 80mm Bore is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 80mm 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 SDA80X80 is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered to deliver a robust 2513.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa. Its riveted assembly securely joins the barrel, rear cover, piston, and rod, yielding an exceptionally short axial footprint where conventional round-body units fail to fit. The hard-anodized bore minimizes friction, while the integrated two-way piston seal ensures consistent pressure management.
This specific SKU lacks a piston magnet and therefore cannot host sensing electronics. Instead of an adjustable air cushion, a fixed NBR bumper at each end absorbs the end-of-travel impact. Because the bumper cannot lock the rod, an external shock absorber is advised for high-speed approaches to mitigate kinetic energy.

Provides the 2513.3 N extend force necessary to eject dense plastic parts from injection moulding tools within a constrained press footprint.
Applies steady clamping pressure on thick sheet metal blanks at press brake stations, utilizing the 80 mm stroke for deep flange formation.
Drives vertical lifting arms in end-of-line palletizing systems, where the short body depth maximizes the available vertical lifting clearance.
When sizing this 80 mm bore unit, verify if the 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa suits your dynamic requirements. Stepping down, the SDA63 provides 1558.6 N, whereas stepping up to the SDA100 yields 3927 N. This model features a 25 mm rod, a PT3/8 port, and a female M14x1.5 rod-end thread. Ensure your ordering essentials cover the 80 mm stroke, female rod thread, and the absence of the S magnet code.
A standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure drops or the valve centers, as the NBR bumper only decelerates near the stroke end rather than locking the load. To suspend a vertical mass securely, incorporate a pilot-operated check valve or an external rod lock. Based on the 0.5 MPa output, a safe working load is roughly 1508 N, allowing a vertical lift of approximately 128.1 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
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, push is 3518.6 N and pull is 3175 N. The theoretical maximum push is 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a speed of 30-500 mm/s.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet, so it cannot support reed or electronic switches. You must select the SDA80X80S variant to enable magnetic sensing. Additionally, it relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable cushion.
