The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X35 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø100mm bore, 35mm 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.
The AirTAC SDAD100X35 is a double-acting compact cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and a 35mm stroke. Its through-rod design exits both ends of the riveted body, ensuring the annular area remains identical on extend and retract strokes. Consequently, push and pull forces are perfectly balanced at 3524.9 N at 0.5 MPa, providing stable performance for heavy symmetric loads.
This model features a 32mm piston rod and PT3/8 air ports. The short body geometry saves axial mounting depth compared to standard round-body options. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper, which absorbs shock but is not an adjustable air cushion. Because this specific SKU lacks the S magnet suffix, it cannot directly mount AirTAC reed or electronic switches.

| 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.
| 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.

| ×35 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Built-in magnet for magnetic-switch sensing (omit = none). |

Drives a forming die from one rod end while a dog trips a mechanical limit on the opposite end, utilizing the 4934.8 N force at 0.7 MPa for symmetric pressing.
Lifts a 179.7 kg payload with a 2:1 safety margin, relying on the through-rod to prevent platform twist during elevation and descent.
Applies equal 3524.9 N clamping force on both extend and retract strokes to secure heavy metal assemblies within a tight axial footprint.
When sizing this actuator, consider the SDAD80 if your layout permits, which yields 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa. The SDAD100X35 is the largest bore in the family, delivering a robust 4934.8 N at 0.7 MPa. For safe vertical lifting, expect a working load around 2115 N, equating to roughly 179.7 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The through-rod geometry resists twisting and allows tooling on one end with a dog on the opposite side.
Confirm the 100mm bore, 35mm stroke, and female M18x1.5 rod-end threads suit your tooling. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve centers; the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates near stroke end and does not lock the load. For load holding without live pressure, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
The push and pull forces are identical because the rod occupies both chambers. 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.
No, this specific SKU lacks the S magnet suffix, so it cannot trigger AirTAC reed or electronic switches. You must choose the SDAD100X35S variant for magnetic sensing, or mount external mechanical limits to detect the rod ends.
