The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X100B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø32mm bore, 100mm 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 SDAD32X100B is a double-acting compact cylinder featuring a 32 mm bore and 100 mm stroke, with piston rods exiting both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical on extend and retract, yielding equal push and pull force of 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric output is ideal for balanced loads, while the through-rod geometry inherently resists twisting during operation.
This specific SKU includes male M10x1.25 thread on both rod ends and lacks a piston magnet. The short riveted body minimizes axial mounting depth where standard cylinders cannot fit. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, and the 12 mm rod diameter handles a safe working load of roughly 207 N, allowing a vertical lift of about 17.6 kg with a 2:1 margin.

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.

Thread: PT standard. Related SDA-family variants: SDA (single rod), SSA/STA (single acting), SDAJ (adjustable stroke), SDAT (duplex), SDAW (duplex-end).
Drives a pick-and-place arm where the equal 345.6 N push and pull force prevents load imbalance during bi-directional part transfers.
Uses the anti-rotation through-rod to mount a machining fixture on one end and a measurement dog on the opposite end for inline inspection.
Raises an 18 kg workpiece using the male M10x1.25 threads, maintaining a 2:1 safety margin on the 0.5 MPa pressure rating.
When sizing this 32 mm bore unit, consider the neighboring bores: stepping down to SDAD25 provides 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to SDAD40 yields 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa. This model provides 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa (483.8 N at 0.7 MPa), striking a balance for medium-duty tasks. The dual-end through-rod allows mounting a tool on one side and a dog on the opposite end simultaneously.
Confirm the 100 mm stroke is within your axial envelope, noting the PT1/8 port and male M10x1.25 rod threads on both ends. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, position sensing is not possible without switching to an -S variant. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered; utilize an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding.
Quick checklist
The double-rod design provides equal force in both directions: 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 operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet. You must select an -S variant to use AirTAC reed or electronic switches. The through-rod design still allows dual-end mounting without sensing.
