Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X10
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X10 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø100mm bore, 10mm stroke). The through-rod resists twisting and lets you drive a tool on one end while a switch or dog reads position on the other — with identical force in both directions.

About the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X10
The AirTAC SDAD100X10 is a compact double-acting cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and 10mm stroke. A piston rod extends from both ends, creating identical annular areas. This geometry ensures push and pull forces match exactly at 3524.9 N each way under 0.5 MPa. The through-rod design inherently resists twisting, providing stable guidance for heavy symmetric loads.
Built with a space-saving riveted body, this unit saves axial mounting depth where larger profile cylinders cannot fit. It uses a 32mm rod and PT3/8 port. End-of-stroke energy is managed by a fixed NBR bumper that decelerates the piston near stroke limits. Note that this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so magnetic position sensing is not supported without upgrading to an -S variant.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X10 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X10 |
|---|---|
| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø100 mm |
| Stroke | 10 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, rod both ends |
| Port size | PT3/8 |
| Rod end thread | M18×1.5 female / M26×1.5 male (B) |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 500 mm/s |
| Cushion | Fixed NBR bumper (both ends) |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 120 mm |
Because a rod occupies both cylinder chambers, the effective area — and therefore the force — is identical in both directions. Specifications follow the official AirTAC SDAD datasheet.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Force (both directions) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3525 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 4935 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 719 kgf |
Force uses the annular (rod-side) area on both strokes, so extend and retract match. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction. Size with a safety margin.

Where the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X10 Is Used
Heavy-Duty Lift Stations
Provides 3524.9 N of equal push and pull force for raising heavy platens, ensuring the load remains balanced throughout the 10mm travel.
Precision Guiding Jigs
The 32mm through-rod resists torsional stress, keeping heavy clamping fixtures perfectly aligned during high-force pressing operations.
Symmetric Transfer Arms
Mount an actuation arm on one rod end and a counterweight on the other to maintain equilibrium while shifting heavy components.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X10 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this model, compare its 3524.9 N output at 0.5 MPa both ways against adjacent bores. Stepping down to the SDAD80 yields 2267.8 N, which may be insufficient for heavy tooling, whereas the 100mm bore provides a robust safe working load of roughly 2115 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa figure). This capacity translates to a vertical lift capability of approximately 179.7 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
The dual-end rod allows driving a tool on one side while mounting a mechanical dog on the opposite end. Remember that the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the stroke end; it does not lock the piston. If air pressure drops or the valve centers, the load will drift, requiring an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure holding. This configuration features female M18x1.5 rod threads and no magnet.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need equal force both directions?
- ✓ Anti-rotation / dual-end mounting?
- ✓ Space for a rod that exits both ends
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT)
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Leave clearance for the rod exiting both ends.
- check Avoid side load on either rod end.
- check Front/rear covers are riveted — do not dismantle.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X10 FAQ
Because the double-rod design yields equal annular areas, force is identical in both directions: 3524.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 4934.8 N at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum is 719 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet. You must select the -S option variant to enable magnetic sensing with AirTAC reed or electronic switches. The standard body includes sensor grooves, but they require the internal magnet to function.
