Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X50SB
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X50SB 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 SDAD100X50SB
The AirTAC SDAD100X50SB is a compact double-acting cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and 50mm stroke. Because the 32mm piston rod exits both ends, the annular area remains identical in extend and retract, yielding 3524.9 N of push and pull force at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric output is ideal for heavy loads requiring consistent kinetic energy in both travel directions.
Equipped with male M26x1.5 threads on both rod ends and a PT3/8 port, this unit includes a built-in magnet for position sensing. The short riveted body drastically reduces axial mounting depth compared to conventional cylinders, while the fixed NBR bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shocks within the 30-500 mm/s speed range.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X50SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X50SB |
|---|---|
| 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 SDAD100X50SB Is Used
Heavy-Duty Stamping Press
Drives a stamping die with identical 3524.9 N force on the downstroke and upstroke, preventing material binding during the return cycle.
Symmetric Clamping Fixture
Secures heavy workpieces by clamping from both ends simultaneously, utilizing the through-rod design to maintain perfect parallel alignment.
Vertical Lift Platform
Raises a 179.7 kg payload with a 2:1 safety margin, relying on the male M26x1.5 rods to anchor the lifting carriage securely.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X50SB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 100mm bore, compare its 3524.9 N @0.5 MPa output downward against the SDAD80, which provides 2267.8 N @0.5 MPa. Stepping up to this larger unit provides a safe working load of roughly 2115 N, calculated as 60% of the 0.5 MPa figure, or a vertical lift capacity of 179.7 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The through-rod geometry resists twisting and permits mounting a tool on one end and a dog on the opposite side.
This configuration features male M26x1.5 rod threads, a PT3/8 air port, and an internal magnet for reed or electronic switches. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve centers, as the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end; utilize an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for strict load holding.
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 SDAD100X50SB 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 allows you to drive a tool on one end while mounting a dog for a reed or electronic switch on the opposite end, and the built-in magnet enables position detection.
