The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X75B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø100mm bore, 75mm 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 SDAD100X75B is a double-acting compact cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and a 75mm stroke. Because the 32mm piston rod exits both ends of the riveted body, the annular area remains identical in each chamber. This geometry ensures push force equals pull force, delivering exactly 3524.9 N at 0.5 MPa in both directions. The through-rod design inherently resists twisting, providing stable linear motion for heavy-duty tooling.
Equipped with male M26x1.5 rod threads on both ends, this unit accepts standard AirTAC compact-cylinder accessories. The short body design minimizes axial mounting depth where larger profile cylinders fail to fit. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. Operating speed spans 30-500 mm/s, and the PT3/8 air port handles the necessary volume for high-energy cycles.

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 180kg upper die with equal 3524.9 N force extending and retracting, preventing twist during the pressing cycle.
Elevates heavy pallets using both rod ends, relying on the 32mm through-rod to maintain parallel alignment without binding.
Pushes a workpiece on the front male M26x1.5 thread while a mechanical stop locates on the rear rod end simultaneously.
When sizing this model, evaluate the neighboring bores for your payload. Stepping down, the SDAD80 provides 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa, which may be insufficient for heavy jigs. Stepping up is impossible as 100mm is the largest available bore, making the SDAD100X75B the maximum force option at 4934.8 N at 0.7 MPa. Based on the 0.5 MPa figure, a safe working load is approximately 2115 N (about 60 percent capacity), allowing a vertical lift of roughly 179.7 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
The through-rod prevents rotation and allows mounting a tool on one end while driving a dog on the opposite end. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve centers; the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates near the stroke end and acts as no lock. For load holding without live pressure, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. This SKU lacks the S magnet option and cannot accept reed or electronic switches.
Quick checklist
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 theoretical maximum of 719 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 75mm stroke falls within the 130mm maximum standard stroke limit for this 100mm bore.
Yes, the through-rod resists rotation and allows tool mounting on one end while using the opposite end for a dog or mechanical stop. However, this specific SKU lacks the S magnet, so it cannot accept reed or electronic switches; you must choose the S variant for position sensing.
