Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X60
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X60 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø100mm bore, 60mm 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 SDAD100X60
The AirTAC SDAD100X60 is a double-acting compact cylinder featuring a through-rod that exits both ends of the riveted body. Because the rod occupies both chambers, the annular area is identical in each direction, giving you exactly 3524.9 N of push and pull force at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric thrust is essential for heavy-duty pressing or lifting tasks where uneven resistance could cause twisting.
Designed to save axial mounting depth compared to standard profile bodies, this 100mm bore unit uses a PT3/8 air port and a 32mm piston rod at each end. End-of-stroke energy is managed solely by a fixed NBR bumper, which decelerates the impact but is not an adjustable air cushion. Without a piston magnet, this specific SKU cannot host reed or electronic switches.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X60 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X60 |
|---|---|
| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø100 mm |
| Stroke | 60 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 SDAD100X60 Is Used
Symmetric Pressing Jigs
Apply 3524.9 N of equal force on both extend and retract strokes to form sheet metal without shifting the workpiece.
Heavy Vertical Lifts
Raise payloads up to 179.7 kg safely with a 2:1 margin, relying on the dual-end rod to prevent platform twisting.
Anti-Rotation Guiding
Drive a heavy clamping fixture on one end while using the opposite rod end for mechanical tracking without rotational drift.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X60 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this model, consider the SDAD80, which provides 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa, versus this SDAD100X60 at 3524.9 N. If you need even more thrust, the 100mm bore is the largest available in this compact family. A safe working load is roughly 2115 N, offering a 2:1 factor of safety, which translates to a vertical lift capacity of about 179.7 kg.
The through-rod geometry inherently resists rotation, allowing you to mount a tool on one end and a dog on the opposite side. Remember that a standard cylinder drifts when air is removed or the valve centers; the fixed NBR bumper only softens the end impact and will not hold the load. For secure positioning, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. This configuration features female M18x1.5 rod-end threads and lacks the -S magnet option.
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 SDAD100X60 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 maximum theoretical output of 719 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet. You must select the -S variant to use AirTAC reed or electronic switches in the body grooves for dual-end position sensing.
