Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X60B
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X60B 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 SDAD100X60B
The AirTAC SDAD100X60B is a double-acting, double-rod compact cylinder engineered for high-load symmetry. Because the 32 mm rod exits both ends of the riveted body, the annular piston area is identical in both chambers. This geometry ensures push force equals pull force, delivering exactly 3524.9 N at 0.5 MPa in either direction. The short body design drastically reduces axial mounting depth compared to conventional cylinders, fitting into tight machine frames without sacrificing power.
This specific SKU features male M26x1.5 threads on both rod ends, allowing direct mounting of heavy tooling. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper at each end, which absorbs shock but is not an adjustable air cushion. Note that this configuration omits the piston magnet, so position sensing is not supported without the -S variant. Operating speed ranges from 30 to 500 mm/s across a 0.15 to 1.0 MPa pressure range.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X60B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X60B |
|---|---|
| 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 SDAD100X60B Is Used
Heavy-Duty Stamping
Drives a stamping die on one rod end while the opposite end pushes a synchronized ejector, utilizing the 3524.9 N equal force to maintain balanced part ejection.
Balanced Vertical Lift
Lifts heavy platens vertically with a 179.7 kg capacity at a 2:1 margin, relying on the through-rod to prevent torsional twisting during ascent and descent.
Dual-End Transfer
Indexes a heavy workpiece on one side while actuating a clamping dog on the other, taking advantage of the short riveted body to fit within compact transfer chutes.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X60B 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 yields 2267.8 N, which may be insufficient for heavy industrial loads, whereas the 100 mm bore provides a safe working load of roughly 2115 N (about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa figure) and can vertically lift approximately 179.7 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The through-rod design resists twisting during high-force operations and permits driving a tool on one end while mounting a secondary mechanism on the opposite side.
This model uses a PT3/8 air port and male M26x1.5 rod threads on both ends. Remember that a standard compact cylinder cannot hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve centers; the piston will drift, as the NBR bumper only decelerates near the stroke end. For suspended or vertical loads, 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 SDAD100X60B FAQ
The push and pull forces are identical because the rod occupies both chambers. 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.
Yes, the through-rod design allows you to mount tooling via the male M26x1.5 threads on both ends simultaneously. This dual-end setup also provides anti-rotation resistance, though you must ensure adequate clearance for the rod exiting the rear cover.
