The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD25X130SB 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 SDAD25X130SB is a compact double-acting cylinder featuring a through-rod that exits both ends of the riveted body. Because the rod occupies both chambers, the annular area is identical in each direction, yielding equal push and pull forces of 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric thrust is a major advantage for loads requiring consistent drive and retraction energy.
The integrated piston magnet (-S) allows tracking via reed or electronic switches, while the male M8x1.25 threads (-B) on both rod ends simplify direct tool mounting. A fixed NBR bumper at each end decelerates the stroke end, and the short body geometry saves axial mounting depth where larger profile cylinders will not fit.

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.

Drives a gripping jaw on one end while the opposite rod end mounts a position dog, using the equal 206.2 N force to securely shift components between machining centers.
The through-rod geometry resists rotation during high-speed web guiding, maintaining precise alignment without lateral drift on packaging films.
Lifts a 10.5 kg fixture with a 2:1 safety margin, relying on the matched extend and retract thrust to prevent sudden drops when reversing direction.
When sizing this unit, consider the adjacent bores: the SDAD20 provides 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa, while the SDAD32 offers 345.6 N. This 25mm bore provides a safe working load of roughly 124 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa figure) and can vertically lift around 10.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The through-rod design resists twisting, letting you drive a tool on one end and a dog on the other.
Remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates near stroke end and does not act as a lock. For load holding without live pressure, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. This configuration includes the M5x0.8 air port, built-in magnet, and male M8x1.25 rod threads on both sides.
Quick checklist
The push and pull forces are equal because the rod exits both ends. It generates 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa in both directions. The theoretical maximum is 42 kgf at 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
Yes, the double-rod design allows you to attach a work tool to the male M8x1.25 thread on one end while using the opposite end for a dog or switch. The built-in magnet (-S) supports AirTAC reed or electronic switches for position detection.
