The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X45S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø100mm bore, 45mm 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 SDAD100X45S is a compact double-acting cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and a 45mm stroke. Its through-rod design exits both ends of the riveted body, ensuring the annular area remains identical in either direction. This geometry yields exactly 3524.9 N of force at 0.5 MPa on both extend and retract strokes, making it ideal for symmetric load handling.
Equipped with a built-in piston magnet (-S), this unit supports AirTAC reed or electronic switches for position feedback. The 32mm rod resists twisting during operation, while the short body profile minimizes axial footprint. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion.

| 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) |

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.

Drives a forming die on one rod end while a dog trips a switch on the opposite end, utilizing the 3524.9 N equal force for consistent bidirectional pressing.
Lifts approximately 179.7 kg with a 2:1 safety margin, relying on the 32mm through-rod to prevent platform twist during heavy elevation changes.
Fits into tight machine frames thanks to the compact riveted body, delivering symmetric push and pull forces to secure and release heavy assemblies.
When sizing this 100mm bore model, consider the SDAD80 which provides 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa for lighter setups. The SDAD100X45S itself outputs 3524.9 N at 0.5 MPa, offering a safe working load around 2115 N or a vertical lift capacity of roughly 179.7 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. It features a PT3/8 port, female M18x1.5 rod-end threads, and the -S magnet option.
The dual-end rod allows mounting a tool on one side and a dog on the opposite end. Note that a standard cylinder drifts when air is lost or valves center; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for strict load holding. Operating speed ranges from 30-500 mm/s.
Quick checklist
The force is equal in both directions due to the double-rod design. It generates 3524.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 4934.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 719 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The maximum operating pressure is 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S option includes a built-in magnet for AirTAC reed or electronic switches. However, the cylinder will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered; an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for strict load holding.
