The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD25X130 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø25mm bore, 130mm 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 SDAD25X130 is a compact double-acting cylinder featuring a 25mm bore and a 130mm stroke. Because the twin 10mm rods exit both ends of the riveted body, the annular piston area is identical in each direction. This geometry yields equal push and pull forces of 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa, making it ideal for symmetric loads.
This specific configuration provides a safe working load of roughly 124 N, allowing a vertical lift of about 10.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The short body footprint saves axial mounting depth, while fixed NBR bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shocks. Note this SKU lacks a piston magnet and cannot support position sensing.

|---|---|
| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 130 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, rod both ends |
| Port size | M5×0.8 |
| Rod end thread | M5×0.8 female / M8×1.25 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 | 206 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 289 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 42 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.

| ×130 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Built-in magnet for magnetic-switch sensing (omit = none). |

Thread: PT standard. Related SDA-family variants: SDA (single rod), SSA/STA (single acting), SDAJ (adjustable stroke), SDAT (duplex), SDAW (duplex-end).
Drives opposing grippers where the 206.2 N equal force and anti-twist through-rod keep clamping pressure perfectly balanced across the 130mm travel.
Mounts a pusher on one rod end and a tracking dog on the other, utilizing the compact body to fit within tight conveyor side-frame clearances.
Raises and lowers a 10.5 kg fixture with a 2:1 safety margin, relying on the twin rods to prevent platform rotation during vertical transit.
When sizing this unit, consider the SDAD20 which yields 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the SDAD32 providing 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa. This 25mm bore delivers 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa. The through-rod design prevents twisting and permits driving a tool on one end while mounting a dog on the opposite side.
This model uses an M5x0.8 port and female M5x0.8 rod-end threads. It has no magnet for switches. Remember that a standard cylinder drifts when air is lost or valves center; the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke end and does not lock the load. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding.
Quick checklist
The double-rod design provides equal force in both directions: 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa, 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 42 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the through-rod resists twisting and allows tooling on one end with a dog on the opposite end. However, this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot host reed or electronic switches without changing the model.
