Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X15
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X15 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø32mm bore, 15mm 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 SDAD32X15
The AirTAC SDAD32X15 is a double-acting, double-rod compact cylinder featuring a 32 mm bore and a 15 mm stroke. Because the piston rod exits both ends of the riveted body, the annular area remains identical in each chamber. This geometry ensures push force equals pull force, delivering exactly 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa in both directions. The through-rod design inherently resists twisting, providing stable guidance for precision tooling.
This specific configuration uses a 12 mm rod diameter and PT1/8 air port. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. The exceptionally short 15 mm stroke minimizes axial mounting depth, making it highly effective for tight-pitch machinery where longer actuators would collide with adjacent components.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X15 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X15 |
|---|---|
| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 15 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 SDAD32X15 Is Used
Short-Stroke Clamping
Fits into tight-pitch machining centers to clamp delicate workpieces symmetrically using its equal 345.6 N push and pull force.
Synchronized Transfer
Drives a dual-end transfer mechanism where a tool mounts on one side and a mechanical dog operates on the opposite end.
Anti-Rotation Gauging
Holds a precision measurement probe steady against machined parts, leveraging the through-rod to resist twisting during inspection.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X15 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, compare its output against neighboring bores. Stepping down to the SDAD25 yields 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDAD40 provides 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa. The SDAD32X15 strikes a middle ground, offering a safe working load of roughly 207 N (about 60 percent of its 345.6 N capacity) which translates to a vertical lift capability of approximately 17.6 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
This model lacks the S suffix, meaning it has no piston magnet and cannot support reed or electronic switches. It features female M6x1.0 rod-end threads on both ends. Remember that a standard cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve centers; the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke end and does not function as a lock. For load holding, integrate an external rod lock or 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 SDAD32X15 FAQ
The double-rod design provides equal force in both directions. 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.
Yes, the through-rod allows you to drive a tool on one end while using the opposite end for external tracking. However, this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot directly mount AirTAC reed or electronic switches without upgrading to the S variant.
