Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X50B
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X50B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø100mm bore, 50mm 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 SDAD100X50B
The AirTAC SDAD100X50B is a double-acting compact cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and 50mm stroke. Because the 32mm through-rod exits both ends of the riveted body, the annular piston area is identical in each chamber. This geometry yields perfectly symmetric thrust, generating 3524.9 N of force at 0.5 MPa in both extend and retract directions.
Equipped with male M26x1.5 rod threads on both ends, this unit allows you to drive a heavy fixture on one side while mounting a dog or secondary mechanism on the opposite end. The short body design minimizes axial mounting depth, while the fixed NBR bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock across the 30-500 mm/s speed range.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X50B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X50B |
|---|---|
| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø100 mm |
| Stroke | 50 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 SDAD100X50B Is Used
Heavy-Duty Pressing
Symmetric 4934.8 N force at 0.7 MPa ensures consistent stamping pressure on both extend and retract strokes for metal forming.
Vertical Lift Stations
The rigid through-rod prevents platform twisting during 179.7 kg vertical lifts, maintaining precise vertical alignment without lateral drift.
Dual-End Transfer
Mount a gripper on one male M26x1.5 end and a mechanical dog on the opposite end to actuate external limit valves during part transfer.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X50B the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this model, compare its 3524.9 N @0.5 MPa capacity against the smaller SDAD80, which provides 2267.8 N @0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down saves space, but the 100mm bore offers superior stability for heavy loads. A safe working load is approximately 2115 N, allowing a vertical lift of roughly 179.7 kg with a 2:1 margin.
This SKU features male M26x1.5 threads, a PT3/8 port, and no piston magnet, meaning magnetic switches cannot be used. Note that a standard cylinder drifts when air is removed or a valve centers; the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke end. For secure load holding without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
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 SDAD100X50B FAQ
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.
Yes, the through-rod features male M26x1.5 threads on both ends, allowing you to attach a tooling fixture on one side and a dog or secondary mechanism on the other while benefiting from built-in anti-rotation.
