The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X10 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø32mm bore, 10mm 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 SDAD32X10 is a double-acting compact cylinder featuring a 32 mm bore and a 10 mm stroke. Because the 12 mm piston rod exits both ends of the riveted body, the annular area remains identical in both chambers. This geometry ensures push and pull forces match exactly at 345.6 N each way under 0.5 MPa, yielding a safe working load of roughly 207 N at a 60 percent margin.
The through-rod design inherently resists twisting, allowing you to mount a work tool on one end and a dog or stop on the opposite side. End-of-stroke energy is managed solely by a fixed NBR bumper that decelerates the piston, rather than an adjustable air cushion. This unit lacks a piston magnet, so position sensing requires the -S variant to host reed or solid-state switches.

| Acting type | Double acting, rod both ends |
| Port size | PT1/8 |
| Rod end thread | M6×1.0 female / M10×1.25 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 | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 70 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.

| ×10 | 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).
Drives opposing gripper jaws with equal 345.6 N push and pull forces, ensuring parts are clamped securely without rotational twist.
Uses the through-rod exiting both ends to push a diverter gate on one side while mounting a physical stop dog on the opposite end.
Fits into tight 10 mm stroke machinery gaps to press and align light components, relying on the fixed NBR bumper to absorb end impacts.
When sizing this 32 mm bore model, consider the neighboring options. Stepping down to the SDAD25 provides 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to the SDAD40 delivers 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa. This SDAD32X10 configuration provides 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa and a theoretical maximum of 70 kgf at 1.0 MPa in both directions.
The dual-end rod provides excellent anti-rotation stability for symmetric loads, but a plain cylinder will drift and cannot hold a vertical load if air pressure drops or the valve centers. For secure load holding without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. This SKU features a PT1/8 port, female M6x1.0 rod-end threads, and no magnet.
Quick checklist
The force is equal in both directions due to the double-rod design. It generates 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 70 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The maximum operating pressure is 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the 12 mm through-rod exits both sides of the body, allowing you to drive a tool on one end and mount a dog on the other. Note that this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so position sensing requires the -S variant for reed or electronic switches.
