Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X100B
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X100B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø100mm bore, 100mm 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 SDAD100X100B
The AirTAC SDAD100X100B is a double-acting, double-rod compact cylinder engineered for heavy-duty performance within a minimal axial footprint. Because the 32 mm through-rod occupies both internal chambers, the annular piston area remains identical in either direction. This geometry delivers an equal push and pull force of 3524.9 N at 0.5 MPa, providing precise symmetric actuation for demanding machinery.
This specific SKU features male M26x1.5 rod threads on both ends, allowing direct mounting of tooling on one side while a dog or fixture attaches to the opposite end. The rigid through-rod inherently resists mechanical twisting under offset loads. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, and this unit lacks a piston magnet, meaning position sensing is not supported without the -S variant.

| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X100B |
|---|---|
| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø100 mm |
| Stroke | 100 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 SDAD100X100B Is Used
Heavy-Duty Lift Station
Handles vertical lifting of 179.7 kg payloads with a 2:1 safety margin, using the equal 3524.9 N bidirectional force to raise and lower heavy platens smoothly.
Twin-Spindle Machining
Mounts a machining spindle on one male M26x1.5 rod end and a linear guide dog on the other, leveraging the anti-rotation through-rod to maintain strict tool alignment.
Large Panel Indexing
Indexes heavy structural panels along a 100 mm stroke, where the compact riveted body saves critical axial machinery space without sacrificing the 4934.8 N force available at 0.7 MPa.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X100B the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this model against adjacent bores, the SDAD80 provides 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas this 100 mm bore yields 3524.9 N—a substantial step up for heavier payloads. At 60 percent of its 0.5 MPa capacity, the safe working load is approximately 2115 N, which translates to a vertical lift capability of roughly 179.7 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. If an application requires even greater force, a custom or larger non-standard solution would be necessary, as 100 mm is the largest bore in this compact series.
The dual-end male M26x1.5 threads and PT3/8 air port are bore-fixed. Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve centers; the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the stroke end and does not function as a lock. For suspended or vertical loads that must be held securely without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
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 SDAD100X100B FAQ
The force is identical in both directions due to the double-rod design. It outputs 3524.9 N at 0.5 MPa, 4934.8 N at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 719 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The maximum operating pressure is 1.0 MPa.
No, a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the directional valve centers. The fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not act as a brake. You must use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding.
