The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X25S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø32mm bore, 25mm 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 SDAD32X25S is a 32mm bore, double-acting compact cylinder featuring a 25mm stroke and a through-rod that exits both ends of the riveted body. Because the rod occupies both chambers, the annular area is identical in each direction, meaning push force equals pull force at 345.6 N under 0.5 MPa. This symmetric output is ideal for balanced actuation tasks.
Equipped with a built-in piston magnet (-S), this unit supports AirTAC reed or electronic switches for end-of-stroke sensing via the body grooves. The short footprint saves axial mounting depth compared to standard profile cylinders. End-of-travel deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper, yielding a stable speed range of 30-500 mm/s across an operating pressure span of 0.15 to 1.0 MPa.

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 synchronous gripper jaws where equal push and pull forces of 345.6 N prevent twisting during part clamping.
Mounts a pusher plate on one rod end and a magnetic dog on the other to trigger an electronic switch mid-cycle.
Lifts delicate electronics vertically with a 17.6 kg safe margin, using the anti-rotation rod to maintain precise coplanar alignment.
When sizing this 32mm bore, evaluate your neighbors: the SDAD25 provides 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa, while the SDAD40 offers 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa. The SDAD32X25S provides a safe working load of roughly 207 N (about 60% of its 345.6 N capacity) and can vertically lift approximately 17.6 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The through-rod design resists twisting and permits mounting a tool on one end and a position dog on the opposite side.
This configuration features a 12mm rod diameter, female M6x1.0 rod-end threads, and a PT1/8 port. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve centers; the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates near stroke end and does not function as a lock. For load holding without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
The double-rod design yields equal force in both directions: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum is 70 kgf at 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
Yes, the through-rod exits both sides to resist rotation and allow dual-end tooling. The -S magnet works with AirTAC reed or electronic switches in the body grooves to confirm stroke endpoints.
