The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X65B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø100mm bore, 65mm 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.
The AirTAC SDAD100X65B is a double-acting, double-rod compact cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and 65mm stroke. Because the piston rod exits both ends, the annular area remains identical in each chamber, yielding exactly 3524.9 N of force at 0.5 MPa on both extend and retract strokes. This symmetric output is essential for tooling that must push and pull with equal authority.
Equipped with male M26x1.5 threads on both 32mm rod ends, this unit saves axial mounting depth via its short riveted body. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. Note this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so position sensing is not supported without the -S variant.

|---|---|
| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø100 mm |
| Stroke | 65 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.
| 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.

Drives a steering roller with equal push and pull authority to keep film webs centered without rotational deflection.
Raises and lowers a 179.7 kg payload vertically using a 2:1 safety margin on the 0.5 MPa output.
Mounts a gripper on one male M26x1.5 rod end and a counterweight on the other to balance rapid horizontal shifts.
When sizing this 100mm bore model, consider the SDAD80 which provides 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa. If your application demands the full 3524.9 N symmetric force, this SDAD100X65B is the correct choice. The through-rod geometry inherently resists mechanical twisting, allowing you to mount a work tool on one male M26x1.5 end and a dog or fixture on the opposite side simultaneously.
Keep in mind that a standard cylinder cannot hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve centers; the piston will drift and the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates near the stroke end. For secure vertical load holding, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Confirm your setup requires the PT3/8 port and male rod threads before ordering.
Quick checklist
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the force is identical in both directions: 3524.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 4934.8 N at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum is 719 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The proof pressure is 1.5 MPa.
Yes, the through-rod design features male M26x1.5 threads on both ends, allowing you to drive a tool on one side while mounting a dog or secondary fixture on the other. The dual-rod geometry also prevents twisting during operation.
