Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X10SB
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X10SB 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 SDAD100X10SB
The AirTAC SDAD100X10SB is a double-acting, double-rod compact cylinder engineered for symmetric load handling. A piston rod exits both ends of the riveted body, creating identical annular areas. This geometry ensures push force equals pull force, delivering exactly 3524.9 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa. The through-rod design inherently resists twisting, providing stable linear motion even under high torque loads.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S) for AirTAC reed or electronic switches, this unit supports dual-end mounting strategies. The male-thread (-B) rods feature M26x1.5 threading at both ends for secure tool attachment. Operating at speeds of 30-500 mm/s, the fixed NBR bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shocks. Its short 10 mm stroke and compact footprint save axial depth where larger profile cylinders cannot fit.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X10SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X10SB |
|---|---|
| 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 SDAD100X10SB Is Used
Heavy-Duty Gripper Actuation
Drives large mechanical grippers requiring equal clamping and release forces of 3524.9 N, utilizing the dual male M26x1.5 rod ends for symmetric tool mounting.
Balanced Vertical Lift Stations
Lifts loads up to 179.7 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, where the anti-rotation through-rod prevents load twisting during the short 10 mm travel.
Dual-End Transfer Mechanisms
Pushes a part on one side while triggering a reed or electronic switch on the opposite end, maximizing factory floor layout efficiency without extra sensors.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X10SB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 100 mm bore model, consider the SDAD80 if your space is constrained, which provides 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa. The SDAD100X10SB is the largest standard bore in this series, offering a theoretical maximum of 719 kgf at 1.0 MPa. At 0.5 MPa, the safe working load is approximately 2115 N (about 60% of capacity), allowing a vertical lift of roughly 179.7 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Ensure your PT3/8 air supply matches the bore-fixed porting.
The through-rod prevents rotation and allows driving a tool on one end while mounting a dog on the opposite end. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold position if air pressure drops or the valve centers; the piston will drift. For load holding without live pressure, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. This configuration includes the -S magnet and -B male M26x1.5 rod threads on both ends.
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 SDAD100X10SB FAQ
The push and pull forces are equal because of the double-rod design. It outputs 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, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
No, the piston will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the stroke near the end; it is not a lock. For load holding, you must use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
