The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X35S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø32mm bore, 35mm 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 SDAD32X35S is a compact double-acting cylinder featuring a through-rod that exits both ends of the riveted body. Because the piston rod occupies each chamber equally, the annular area remains constant, ensuring push force equals pull force at 345.6 N in either direction at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric output is ideal for balanced loading and stable tooling actuation.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S), this unit supports AirTAC reed or electronic switches for position sensing. The short body geometry saves axial mounting depth compared to standard profile cylinders. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper, which absorbs shock but is not an adjustable air cushion. 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 symmetric gripper arms with equal 345.6 N push and pull forces, ensuring balanced clamping pressure on precision machined parts.
Mounts a pickup tool on one rod end and a position dog on the opposite end, utilizing the anti-rotation through-rod to prevent twist during fast 35mm transfers.
Shifts delicate electronic panels in a testing fixture where the compact riveted body saves axial space and the fixed NBR bumper prevents harsh end impacts.
When sizing this 32mm bore, compare its 345.6 N output at 0.5 MPa against adjacent models: the SDAD25 yields 206.2 N, while the SDAD40 provides 527.8 N. A safe working load is approximately 207 N (about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa figure), allowing a vertical lift of roughly 17.6 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The through-rod design resists twisting and permits mounting a tool on one end while a dog triggers a switch on the opposite side.
This configuration features a 35mm stroke, a PT1/8 port, and female M6x1.0 rod-end threads on both ends. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end and does not lock the load. For load holding without live pressure, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
The push and pull forces are equal because the rod exits both ends. It generates 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 70 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The maximum operating pressure is 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the built-in magnet (-S) works with AirTAC reed or electronic switches. However, the cylinder does not hold position if air is lost; the piston drifts. For load holding, use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates at stroke end.
