Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X120S
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X120S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø32mm bore, 120mm 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 SDAD32X120S
The AirTAC SDAD32X120S is a compact double-acting cylinder featuring a through-rod that exits both ends of the riveted body. Because the piston rod occupies both chambers, the annular area remains identical in either direction, delivering an equal push and pull force of 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric output is ideal for driving loads that require consistent resistance without twisting.
At 32 mm bore with a 120 mm stroke, this unit integrates a built-in magnet for position sensing and uses a PT1/8 air port. The fixed NBR bumper decelerates the piston near stroke ends, while the short body profile saves valuable axial mounting depth. Operating pressure spans 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, yielding a safe working load of roughly 207 N, which translates to a vertical lift capacity of 17.6 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X120S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X120S |
|---|---|
| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 120 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 SDAD32X120S Is Used
Gripper Jaw Sync
Drives opposing gripper fingers with equal 345.6 N force in both directions, ensuring parts are clamped securely without rotational deflection during transfer.
Dual-End Diverting
Mounts a diverting flap on one rod end and a position dog on the opposite end, allowing a reed or electronic switch to confirm stroke completion on the 120 mm travel.
Balanced Lift Station
Raises and lowers a 17.6 kg payload vertically, leveraging the symmetric annular area to maintain steady speed and force whether ascending or descending.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X120S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this model against adjacent bores, the SDAD25 provides 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the SDAD40 yields 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa. The 32 mm bore strikes a balance, offering 345.6 N each way. The through-rod geometry prevents rotation, allowing you to mount a work tool on one end and a dog or reed/electronic switch on the opposite end simultaneously.
This configuration includes the S option for the piston magnet and standard female M6x1.0 rod-end threads. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve centers; the fixed bumper only decelerates impact and does not lock the load. For secure load holding, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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 SDAD32X120S FAQ
Because the rod exits both ends, push and pull forces are identical. 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 in both directions.
Yes, the through-rod resists twisting and allows tool mounting on one end while using the opposite end for a dog. The built-in S magnet works with AirTAC reed or electronic switches to track position along the 120 mm stroke.
