The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD25X35H is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø25mm bore, 35mm 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 SDAD25X35H 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, giving exactly 206.2 N of push and pull force at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric output is ideal for balanced tooling.
This specific SKU includes an H-designation fluororubber (FKM) seal for enhanced thermal and oil resistance. The 10 mm rods feature female M5x0.8 end threads, and the body integrates a fixed NBR bumper at each end to absorb end-of-stroke shock. Note this version lacks a piston magnet, so position sensing is not supported.

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

| 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.
| SDAD | Compact double-acting cylinder, rod out both ends. |
|---|---|
| 25 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×35 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Built-in magnet for magnetic-switch sensing (omit = none). |
| B | Male-thread piston rods (omit = female thread). |
Thread: PT standard. Related SDA-family variants: SDA (single rod), SSA/STA (single acting), SDAJ (adjustable stroke), SDAT (duplex), SDAW (duplex-end).
Uses the equal 206.2 N bidirectional force to grip and release delicate wafers without applying uneven torsional stress.
Mounts a work clamp on one rod end and a mechanical stop dog on the opposite end to maintain strict parallelism.
Leverages the FKM seals to withstand warm packaging environments while folding carton flaps with consistent push and pull.
When sizing this 25 mm bore, compare its 206.2 N output at 0.5 MPa against neighbouring bores: the SDAD20 provides 131.9 N, while the SDAD32 yields 345.6 N. 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 air port and female M5x0.8 rod threads. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve centres; the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates near the stroke end. For secure load holding without live pressure, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
The double-rod design provides equal force in both directions: 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum is 42 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not have a built-in piston magnet, so it cannot support reed or electronic switches. You would need the -S variant to enable sensing on the body sensor grooves.
