The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X70SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø100mm bore, 70mm 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 SDAD100X70SB is a double-acting, double-rod compact cylinder engineered for high-load symmetry. Because the 32 mm through-rod occupies both chambers, the annular area is identical on extend and retract, yielding an equal push and pull force of 3524.9 N at 0.5 MPa. This geometric balance prevents twisting and ensures stable motion for heavy tooling.
Despite its 100 mm bore, the riveted body saves axial mounting depth compared to standard profile designs. This specific configuration includes a built-in magnet for reed or electronic switches and features male M26x1.5 rod threads on both ends. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper, which absorbs shock but is not an adjustable air cushion or a locking brake.

|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |

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.

Utilizes the 3524.9 N equal extend and retract force to seat heavy industrial components without rotational drift during the pressing cycle.
Lifts payloads up to 179.7 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, relying on the dual-end 32 mm rod to maintain parallel stability and resist twisting.
Mounts a primary gripper on one male M26x1.5 rod end and a position dog on the opposite end, allowing a reed or electronic switch to track motion without interference.
Selecting this 100 mm bore model provides massive symmetric force. Sizing both ways: stepping down to SDAD80 offers 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas this SDAD100X70SB delivers 3524.9 N. A computed safe working load is roughly 2115 N, allowing a vertical lift of approximately 179.7 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The through-rod design allows you to mount a tool on one end and a dog on the opposite end simultaneously.
This unit features a PT3/8 port and male M26x1.5 rod threads at both ends. Remember that a plain cylinder does not hold its load when air is lost or the valve is centered; the piston drifts. For load holding without live pressure, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The fixed NBR bumper only decelerates near the stroke end.
Quick checklist
The force is equal in both directions 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.
The through-rod resists twisting under heavy loads and provides identical extend and retract forces. It also allows you to drive tooling on one end while mounting a position dog on the opposite end for a reed or electronic switch.
