Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X30B
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X30B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø32mm bore, 30mm 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 SDAD32X30B
The AirTAC SDAD32X30B is a double-acting, double-rod compact cylinder featuring a 32 mm bore and 30 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 ensures push and pull forces match exactly, delivering 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction.
Equipped with male M10x1.25 rod threads on both ends, this unit allows you to drive a tool on one side while mounting a dog or fixture on the opposite side. The short body design minimizes axial mounting depth. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. Operating speed spans 30-500 mm/s, with a safe working load around 207 N for a 2:1 design margin.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X30B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X30B |
|---|---|
| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 30 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 SDAD32X30B Is Used
Gripper Jaw Synchronization
Drives opposing gripper fingers via the dual male M10x1.25 rod ends, utilizing the equal 345.6 N push and pull force to maintain balanced clamping pressure on delicate components.
Transfer Shuttle Mechanism
Mounts a workpiece carrier on one end and a tracking dog on the opposite end, leveraging the anti-rotation through-rod to prevent twisting during 30 mm horizontal part transfers.
Symmetric Lift Stations
Lifts platens vertically with a consistent 17.6 kg capacity at a 2:1 safety margin, taking advantage of the matched annular areas that ensure identical force whether raising or lowering the load.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X30B the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore model, compare it against neighboring options. Stepping down, the SDAD25 provides 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDAD40 yields 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa. This SDAD32X30B variant includes male M10x1.25 threads on both rods and uses a PT1/8 port. It lacks the -S magnet option, meaning magnetic switches cannot be used.
The through-rod design inherently resists twisting, which benefits multi-axis guiding tasks. Remember that a standard cylinder drifts when air pressure drops or the valve centers, as the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the stroke end without locking the load. For vertical or suspended loads requiring position holding without live pressure, install 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 SDAD32X30B FAQ
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 maximum operating pressure is 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the through-rod extends from both sides, allowing you to drive a tool on one male M10x1.25 end while using the opposite end for a dog or secondary mechanism. This configuration also prevents the piston from twisting under offset loads.
