The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X10B 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 SDAD32X10B is a double-acting compact cylinder featuring a 32 mm bore and a 10 mm stroke, with piston rods exiting both ends of its riveted body. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical on extend and retract, yielding exactly 345.6 N of force at 0.5 MPa in both directions. This symmetric output is ideal for balanced tooling, and the through-rod geometry inherently resists mechanical twisting during operation.
This specific SKU includes male M10x1.25 thread rods on both ends for direct mounting. The short 10 mm stroke keeps the overall footprint exceptionally shallow, saving axial depth where larger profile cylinders cannot fit. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. Note that this base configuration lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot support reed or electronic switches without upgrading to the -S variant.

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.

Drives opposing gripper arms with equal 345.6 N push and pull force, ensuring perfectly parallel clamping on precision machined parts without twist.
Lifts 17.6 kg payloads vertically through a 10 mm travel range using its male M10x1.25 rods, benefiting from the anti-rotation through-rod design.
Mounts a pusher on one rod end and a mechanical dog on the opposite end, allowing physical actuation of external limit valves in tight riveted-body spaces.
When sizing this model, compare its 345.6 N output at 0.5 MPa against adjacent bores: the SDAD25 provides 206.2 N, while the SDAD40 offers 527.8 N. For a 2:1 safety margin, the safe working load is approximately 207 N, translating to a vertical lift capacity of about 17.6 kg. The dual male M10x1.25 rod ends allow you to drive a tool on one side while mounting a dog or fixture on the opposite end without rotational deflection.
This cylinder uses a PT1/8 port and operates between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa. Keep in mind that a standard double-acting cylinder does not hold position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the piston will drift. For load-holding security, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Additionally, the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates near the stroke end and acts as neither a brake nor a lock.
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 to 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
No, this specific SDAD32X10B configuration does not include a piston magnet, so it cannot support reed or electronic switches. You would need the -S option (SDAD32X10BS) to enable sensing. However, the through-rod design allows you to mount a physical dog on the opposite end to trigger external sensors.
