The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD100X90SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø100mm bore, 90mm 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 SDAD100X90SB is a double-acting, double-rod compact cylinder engineered for heavy-duty symmetrical motion. Because the 32 mm through-rod occupies both chambers, the annular area remains identical in each direction, yielding exactly 3524.9 N of push and pull force at 0.5 MPa. This equal-force geometry prevents twisting during transit and allows you to mount a work tool on one end while tracking position with a switch on the opposite side.
Designed to save axial mounting depth, the riveted body houses a 90 mm stroke alongside a built-in magnet for AirTAC reed or electronic switches. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. This specific configuration includes male M26x1.5 piston rod threads on both ends and a PT3/8 air port to handle substantial pneumatic flow.

|---|---|
| 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.

| S | Built-in magnet for magnetic-switch sensing (omit = none). |

Drives a forming die on one rod end while the opposite end triggers a reed or electronic switch, utilizing the 3524.9 N equal force for consistent bidirectional pressing.
Raises and lowers a 179.7 kg vertical payload using the anti-rotation through-rod to prevent platform twisting during transit.
Fits into shallow machine frames to actuate a heavy clamping jaw, taking advantage of the short axial depth and male M26x1.5 mounting threads.
When sizing this 100 mm bore unit, consider the SDAD80 which provides 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa if your application requires less force. The SDAD100X90SB is the largest standard bore in the series, delivering 4934.8 N at 0.7 MPa and a theoretical maximum of 719 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Based on the 0.5 MPa figure, the 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 provides excellent anti-rotation resistance and dual-end mounting flexibility. Remember that a standard cylinder does not hold position on air loss or valve centering; the piston will drift, and the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates near the stroke end. For load holding without live pressure, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. This model confirms a 100 mm bore, 90 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, built-in S magnet, and male B rod threads.
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 32 mm through-rod resists twisting under load and allows you to mount a tool on one end and a position dog on the other. It also includes a built-in magnet for AirTAC reed or electronic switches.
