The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X30SB 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.
The AirTAC SDAD32X30SB is a double-acting compact cylinder featuring a 32 mm bore and a 30 mm stroke. Because the piston rod extends from both ends, the annular area remains identical in both chambers. This geometry ensures push and pull forces match exactly, providing 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa in either direction. The through-rod design inherently resists twisting, which is crucial for maintaining alignment in precision tooling.
This specific configuration includes a built-in magnet for position sensing and male M10x1.25 threads on both rod ends. The short riveted body minimizes axial mounting depth, fitting easily into tight machinery layouts. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper, which absorbs shock without requiring manual adjustment. Operating speed ranges from 30 to 500 mm/s.

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 a pickup arm on one end while the opposite rod end mounts a dog for position sensing, utilizing the 345.6 N equal force to prevent sagging during bidirectional transfers.
The through-rod geometry resists twisting moments, keeping a precision grip aligned during clamping operations where side loads would normally skew a single-rod actuator.
Mounts an insertion tool on one male M10x1.25 threaded end and a counterweight on the other, maintaining consistent 30 mm strokes for electronic component assembly.
When sizing this unit, consider the neighboring bores for your force requirements. 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. The 32 mm bore offers a calculated safe working load of roughly 207 N, or about 60 percent of its 0.5 MPa rating, allowing a vertical lift of approximately 17.6 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
This model features a PT1/8 air port and a 12 mm rod diameter on both ends. The male M10x1.25 rod threads simplify mounting external fixtures directly to the piston. Remember that the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the stroke near the end points; it will not hold a load if air pressure drops. For load holding without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
The double-rod design provides equal force in both directions: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum output is 70 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes. The S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with AirTAC reed or electronic switches. The B suffix means both rod ends feature male M10x1.25 threads for direct tool mounting.
