Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X10S
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X10S 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.

About the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X10S
The AirTAC SDAD32X10S is a compact double-acting 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 each chamber. This geometry guarantees that push and pull forces are perfectly equal, delivering exactly 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa in either direction.
The integrated through-rod design inherently resists twisting, providing stable anti-rotation performance for precision tooling. Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S), this unit supports AirTAC reed or electronic switches for position sensing. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by fixed NBR bumpers, which absorb shock without requiring manual adjustment.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X10S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X10S |
|---|---|
| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 10 mm |
| 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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X10S Is Used
Gripper Synchronization
Drives opposing gripper jaws where the 345.6 N equal bidirectional force ensures perfectly balanced clamping pressure on delicate components.
Dual-End Transfer
Mounts a pusher on one rod end and a magnetic dog on the other, using the 10 mm short stroke to transfer small parts rapidly between stations.
Anti-Rotation Spot Welding
Powers a small welding head where the through-rod prevents torsional deflection, maintaining electrode alignment during the 10 mm travel.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X10S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, compare its 345.6 N output at 0.5 MPa against adjacent bores. Stepping down to the SDAD25 yields 206.2 N, while moving up to the SDAD40 provides 527.8 N. For this 32 mm bore, the safe working load is approximately 207 N (about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa figure), allowing a vertical lift of roughly 17.6 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
The dual-end rod allows you to drive a mechanism on one side while mounting a switch dog on the opposite side. Remember that a standard cylinder does not hold position if air pressure drops or the valve centers; the piston will drift. For load holding without live pressure, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. This configuration includes the -S magnet, female M6x1.0 rod threads, and a PT1/8 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 SDAD32X10S FAQ
Because the double rod creates equal annular areas, force is identical 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.
Yes, the 12 mm through-rod extends from both sides, allowing you to drive a tool on one end and mount a sensor target on the other. The -S magnet enables tracking by AirTAC reed or electronic switches.
