Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X5S
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X5S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø100mm bore, 5mm 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 SDAD100X5S
The AirTAC SDAD100X5S is a compact double-acting cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and a 5mm stroke, engineered with twin piston rods exiting both ends of its riveted body. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area remains identical in both directions, yielding equal push and pull forces of 3524.9 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric thrust is essential for heavy pressing or lifting tasks where unbalanced loads would otherwise cause erratic motion.
Despite its massive output, the short body design drastically reduces axial mounting depth compared to conventional round-body units. The 32mm through-rod resists twisting under high torque, while the integrated magnet enables precise position detection via reed or electronic switches. End-of-stroke energy is managed solely by a fixed NBR bumper, which decelerates the piston rather than locking it in place.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X5S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X5S |
|---|---|
| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø100 mm |
| Stroke | 5 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 SDAD100X5S Is Used
Heavy-Duty Pressing
Applies 3524.9 N of equal force on extend and retract to seat bearings or stamp components without rotational deflection.
Pallet Transfer Stopper
Uses the dual-end through-rod to mount a stopper blade on one side and a dog trigger for an electronic switch on the opposite end.
Symmetric Clamping Jig
Clamps heavy metal workpieces from both directions simultaneously, relying on the balanced annular thrust to prevent workpiece skewing.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X5S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, compare its 3524.9 N output at 0.5 MPa against adjacent bores. Stepping down to the SDAD80 provides 2267.8 N, which may be insufficient for heavy industrial pressing, whereas this 100mm variant offers a safe working load of roughly 2115 N (about 60% of its 0.5 MPa capacity) and a vertical lift capability of approximately 179.7 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Choose the SDAD100X5S when your application demands maximum symmetric thrust within a minimal footprint.
This configuration includes the S option for a built-in magnet and female M18x1.5 rod-end threads on both ends, supplied with a PT3/8 air port. Remember that a standard pneumatic cylinder does not hold position upon air loss; the piston will drift if pressure drops, so install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if load holding is required.
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 SDAD100X5S FAQ
The push and pull forces are identical due to the double-rod design. 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, the piston will drift if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the stroke near the end points; it does not act as a brake. For vertical load holding, you must use an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
