The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X35SB 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 SDAD100X35SB is a double-acting, double-rod compact cylinder engineered for rigorous pneumatic applications. Because the 32mm through-rod occupies both internal chambers, the effective annular piston area remains identical in either direction. This geometry ensures push and pull forces match exactly, yielding 3524.9 N of thrust and retraction at 0.5 MPa, scaling to 4934.8 N at 0.7 MPa.
Featuring a space-saving riveted body, this unit saves axial mounting depth where larger profile cylinders cannot fit. The integrated piston magnet enables position sensing via reed or electronic switches. A fixed NBR bumper decelerates the 35mm stroke at both ends, while the male M26x1.5 threads on both rod ends provide robust tool mounting options.

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.

| S | Built-in magnet for magnetic-switch sensing (omit = none). |

Thread: PT standard. Related SDA-family variants: SDA (single rod), SSA/STA (single acting), SDAJ (adjustable stroke), SDAT (duplex), SDAW (duplex-end).
Applies 4934.8 N at 0.7 MPa for stamping or crimping operations where identical extend and retract forces prevent asymmetric tool wear.
Uses the anti-rotation through-rod to push a part on one end while a position dog triggers a sensor on the opposite end simultaneously.
Lifts vertical loads up to 179.7 kg with a 2:1 safety margin, relying on the male M26x1.5 threads for secure heavy fixture mounting.
When sizing this 100mm bore unit, consider the SDAD80 which provides 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa for lighter loads, or step up to this model for heavy-duty symmetric force. The through-rod design inherently resists twisting, allowing you to drive a mechanism on one end while mounting a dog or switch on the opposite side. Computed sizing indicates a safe working load around 2115 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa rating), translating to a vertical lift capacity of roughly 179.7 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
This configuration includes the -S magnet for AirTAC reed or solid-state switches and the -B option for male M26x1.5 rod threads on both ends. The pneumatic port is PT3/8. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold position upon air loss or valve centering; the piston drifts and the fixed bumper only decelerates near the stroke end. For load holding without live pressure, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
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.
The through-rod resists twisting and allows dual-end mounting, such as driving a tool on one side and a sensor dog on the other. The -B option provides male M26x1.5 threads on both rod ends for robust fixture attachment.
