Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD25X60S
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD25X60S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø25mm bore, 60mm 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.

About the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD25X60S
The AirTAC SDAD25X60S is a double-acting compact 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 actuation tasks.
A 10 mm piston rod protrudes from each cap to resist twisting during operation. The 60 mm stroke operates at speeds between 30-500 mm/s, and the integrated magnet allows position detection using an AirTAC reed or electronic switch mounted directly into the body grooves.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD25X60S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD25X60S |
|---|---|
| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 60 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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø25mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD25X60S Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Jaws
Drives opposing gripper jaws with identical 206.2 N force on extend and retract, ensuring parts are centered without rotational drift during transit.
Dual-End Probe Mounting
Mounts a testing probe on the front rod end and a limit switch dog on the rear, using the 60 mm stroke to inspect components while confirming position electronically.
Balanced Lift Stations
Lifts light platens vertically where the 10 mm through-rod prevents twisting, maintaining alignment under a 10.5 kg payload with a 2:1 safety margin.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD25X60S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 25 mm bore model, compare its bidirectional 206.2 N output at 0.5 MPa against adjacent bores. Dropping down to SDAD20 provides 131.9 N, while stepping up to SDAD32 yields 345.6 N. This makes the SDAD25X60S the optimal middle ground for medium-force symmetric loads, offering a safe working load of roughly 124 N and a vertical lift capacity of about 10.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
The through-rod geometry allows mounting a work tool on one end and a position dog on the opposite end simultaneously. Note that the fixed NBR bumper decelerates the stroke end but does not function as a lock; if you need to hold a load vertically without air pressure, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. This configuration includes the -S magnet and female M5x0.8 rod-end threads, with an M5x0.8 air port.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need equal force both directions?
- ✓ Anti-rotation / dual-end mounting?
- ✓ Space for a rod that exits both ends
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT)
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Leave clearance for the rod exiting both ends.
- check Avoid side load on either rod end.
- check Front/rear covers are riveted — do not dismantle.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD25X60S FAQ
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 output is 42 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the through-rod extends from both ends, allowing you to drive a tool on one side while mounting a dog for a reed or electronic switch on the other. The rod also resists mechanical twisting during motion.
