For optimum performance in limited space, SDA compact pneumatic cylinders from HAK Pneumatic offer an effective and efficient solution. Known for their durability and compactness, SDA cylinders are used extensively in automated systems where accuracy, speed, and compactness are of the essence.
In this article, we’ll explore the different types of HAK SDA compact cylinders, their key features, and the advantages they bring to modern pneumatic applications.
What Is an SDA Compact Cylinder?
SDA compact cylinders are space-efficient, double-acting pneumatic actuators designed for applications with tight installation constraints. The "SDA" series typically refers to standard compact air cylinders with short stroke lengths and high thrust force relative to their size.
Built with an aluminum alloy body and a simple, robust design, these cylinders are ideal for high-speed, repetitive-motion automation uses where efficiency and footprint matter.

Types of HAK SDA Compact Cylinders
HAK Pneumatic offers a range of SDA compact cylinders for specific application needs. The main types are:
1. Standard SDA Compact Cylinders
These are standard, go-to cylinders for general compact pneumatic applications. They provide reliable linear motion with stroke lengths typically ranging from 5mm to 100mm. Standard bore sizes include 12mm, 16mm, 20mm, 25mm, 32mm, 40mm, 50mm, and 63mm.
Best for: General industrial automation, pick-and-place systems, packaging lines.
2. SDA Cylinders with Magnet (SDA-M)
These cylinders feature internal magnets for the mounting of proximity sensors, allowing precise position feedback for advanced automation systems.
Best for: Cylinder position monitoring applications or where integration with PLCs and sensor arrays is required.
3. Double-Shaft SDA Cylinders
HAK's double-shaft compact cylinders feature two piston rods for increased stability and load-carrying capability. They are ideal for applications with lateral forces or where anti-rotation is required.
Best for: Applications requiring higher lateral load capacity or guided motion.
4. SDA Compact Cylinders with Through-Hole Rod
This series has a through-hole piston rod design, often used for special mounting or guiding applications. The products maintain the compact design with more flexibility in assembly.
Best for: Special mounting requirements and bespoke mechanical integration.
5. Customized Stroke and Bore Options
HAK Pneumatic can provide custom SDA cylinder designs to meet specific engineering or application demands. Whether special stroke length, special bore size, or mounting modification, customizing is feasible.
Best for: OEM applications and bespoke automation systems.
