Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X45
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X45 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø32mm bore, 45mm 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 SDAD32X45
The AirTAC SDAD32X45 is a 32 mm bore, double-acting compact cylinder with a piston rod extending from both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical on extension and retraction, yielding an equal push and pull force of 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric output is highly advantageous when driving loads that must not yaw or twist during direction changes.
The through-rod geometry allows you to mount a work tool on one end while using the opposite end for a dog or secondary mechanism. Its short riveted body conserves axial mounting depth in tight machinery. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper, not an adjustable air cushion. This specific SKU lacks a piston magnet and cannot host reed or electronic switches; choose the -S variant if position sensing is required.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X45 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X45 |
|---|---|
| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 45 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 SDAD32X45 Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Jaws
Drives a gripping jaw on one end while the opposite rod end actuates a release dog, utilizing the 345.6 N equal force to prevent yaw during part handoff.
Anti-Twist Edge Guide
Straightens moving webs in a packaging line; the dual-rod construction resists torsional twisting that would misalign a single-rod cylinder.
Balanced Vertical Lift
Lifts a 17.6 kg guided platform using the equal extension and retraction forces, ensuring smooth descent without gravitational overshoot.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X45 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore model, evaluate your neighbours: the SDAD25 provides 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa, while the larger SDAD40 offers 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa. For the SDAD32X45, a safe working load is roughly 207 N (about 60 percent of the 345.6 N figure), translating to a vertical lift capacity of approximately 17.6 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Confirm your application falls within this envelope.
This unit features a 45 mm stroke, a PT1/8 port, and female M6x1.0 rod-end threads on both ends. The through-rod delivers excellent anti-rotation resistance for guided payloads. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centred; the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end and will not hold the load. For secure load holding without live pressure, install an external rod lock or a 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 SDAD32X45 FAQ
The double-rod design provides equal force in both directions. It outputs 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 tool mounting on one end and a dog on the opposite end. However, this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot host reed or electronic switches; you would need the -S variant for sensing.
