Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X100S
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X100S 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 SDAD100X100S
The AirTAC SDAD100X100S is a double-acting compact cylinder featuring a through-rod that exits both ends of the riveted body. Because the rod occupies both chambers, the annular area is identical in each direction, yielding exactly 3524.9 N of push and pull force at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric thrust is a major advantage for loads requiring consistent kinetic behavior in both travel directions.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S), this unit supports AirTAC reed or electronic switches for position detection. The 32 mm rod resists mechanical twisting during operation. End-of-stroke energy is managed solely by a fixed NBR bumper, which decelerates the piston near the limits but is not an adjustable air cushion. Operating speed ranges from 30 to 500 mm/s.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X100S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X100S |
|---|---|
| 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 SDAD100X100S Is Used
Heavy-Duty Lift Stations
Handles vertical lifting of 179.7 kg payloads with a 2:1 margin, relying on the 3524.9 N equal thrust to prevent asymmetric acceleration on the descent.
Dual-End Transfer Carriages
Uses the anti-rotation through-rod to push a heavy fixture on one end while a solid-state switch tracks position on the opposite end without torsional deflection.
Riveting Presses
Employs the 4934.8 N force at 0.7 MPa for symmetric forming operations, where the fixed NBR bumper absorbs the end shock without requiring external adjustment.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X100S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, compare its 3524.9 N @0.5 MPa capacity with neighboring bores. Stepping down, the SDAD80 provides 2267.8 N at the same pressure, making the 100mm variant necessary for heavier payloads requiring roughly 4934.8 N at 0.7 MPa. A practical safe working load is about 2115 N, offering a 2:1 safety margin that enables a vertical lift capacity of approximately 179.7 kg.
The dual-end geometry allows driving a tool on one side while mounting a switch dog on the opposite end. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve centers; the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end and acts as neither a lock nor a brake. For load holding without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. This configuration specifies a 100mm bore, 100mm stroke, PT3/8 port, female M18x1.5 rod threads, and the -S 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 SDAD100X100S FAQ
The push and pull forces are identical because the rod exits both ends. It generates 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.
Yes, the through-rod design resists twisting and allows you to drive a tool on one end while mounting a dog for a reed or electronic switch on the other. You must leave clearance for the rod exiting both sides.
