Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X15SB
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X15SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø100mm bore, 15mm 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 SDAD100X15SB
The AirTAC SDAD100X15SB is a double-acting, double-rod compact cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and 15mm stroke. Because the piston rod exits both ends, the annular area is identical in each chamber, delivering an equal push and pull force of 3524.9 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for heavy loads requiring consistent kinetic energy in both directions.
Equipped with a built-in magnet for reed or electronic switches, this unit allows position tracking on the compact riveted body. The male M26x1.5 threaded rods on both ends simplify direct mounting, while the PT3/8 port handles high airflow. A fixed NBR bumper decelerates the stroke ends within the 30-500 mm/s speed range.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X15SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X15SB |
|---|---|
| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø100 mm |
| Stroke | 15 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 SDAD100X15SB Is Used
Heavy Press Tooling
Drives a forming die on one end while the opposite rod carries a dog to trigger a reed switch, utilizing the 3524.9 N equal force for precise press operations.
Symmetric Lift Jig
Lifts a 179.7 kg vertical payload using the 2:1 safety margin, relying on the through-rod geometry to resist twisting during heavy elevation changes.
Riveting Station
Mounts a male M26x1.5 rod tooling head to deliver consistent impact force in both extend and retract strokes within a space-constrained riveted body footprint.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X15SB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 100mm bore model, consider the SDAD80 which provides 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa. The SDAD100X15SB is the largest in the family, yielding a safe working load of roughly 2115 N (about 60% of its 3524.9 N capacity) and a vertical lift capability of approximately 179.7 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve centers; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding.
This configuration includes the S magnet for sensing and B male M26x1.5 rod threads on both ends. The fixed NBR bumper handles end shock but is not an adjustable air cushion or brake. For high energy impacts, add an external shock absorber.
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 SDAD100X15SB FAQ
The force is equal 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.
Yes, the through-rod design resists rotation and allows you to drive a tool on one end while mounting a switch or dog on the other. This specific SB configuration features male M26x1.5 threads on both ends and a built-in magnet for reed or electronic switches.
