Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X100SB
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X100SB 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 SDAD100X100SB
The AirTAC SDAD100X100SB is a 100mm bore, 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 on extend and retract, delivering an equal push and pull force of 3524.9 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetry is vital for heavy mechanisms requiring consistent kinetic energy in both travel directions.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S) for AirTAC reed or electronic switches and male M26x1.5 threads (-B) on both 32mm rods, this model handles substantial loads. The short body footprint saves axial mounting depth compared to conventional cylinders. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper, not an adjustable air cushion.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X100SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X100SB |
|---|---|
| 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 SDAD100X100SB Is Used
Heavy-Duty Pressing
Applies 3524.9 N of identical force on both downstroke and upstroke for forming sheet metal without asymmetric tooling wear.
Elevator Lift Mechanism
Lifts a 179.7 kg vertical payload using the dual-end male M26x1.5 rods to drive a carriage while mounting a tracking dog opposite.
Riveting Station
Uses the anti-rotation through-rod to maintain precise alignment during heavy riveting, absorbing end-shock via the fixed NBR bumper.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X100SB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 100mm bore, stepping down to the SDAD80 yields 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas this SDAD100 provides 3524.9 N. Operating at 0.5 MPa gives a safe working load around 2115 N (about 60% of capacity) and a vertical lift capability of roughly 179.7 kg with a 2:1 margin. If your application exceeds these dynamic limits, you would need to explore external shock absorbers rather than a larger bore.
The through-rod geometry resists twisting and permits mounting a tool on one end and a position dog on the opposite side. Confirm the 100mm stroke, PT3/8 port, male M26x1.5 rod ends, and the magnetic switch requirement. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding.
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 SDAD100X100SB FAQ
The double-rod design provides equal force in both directions: 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.
Yes, the male M26x1.5 rods exit both ends, allowing you to drive a tool on one side and mount a dog on the other. The built-in magnet (-S) supports AirTAC reed or electronic switches for position sensing.
