Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X50
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X50 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø32mm bore, 50mm 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 SDAD32X50
The AirTAC SDAD32X50 is a double-acting compact cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and a 50mm stroke. Because the 12mm piston rod exits both ends of the riveted body, the annular area remains identical on extend and retract. This geometry yields equal push and pull force, delivering 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction.
The through-rod design inherently resists twisting, allowing you to mount a work tool on one end while tracking position with a dog on the opposite side. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. Operating speeds span 30-500 mm/s within a temperature range of -20 to +70 C.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X50 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X50 |
|---|---|
| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 50 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 SDAD32X50 Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Jaws
Drives a gripper on one end while the opposite rod end mounts a physical dog, utilizing the 345.6 N equal force for balanced pick-and-place without rotational twist.
Vertical Lift Stops
Raises and lowers a 17.6 kg fixture with a 2:1 margin, relying on the through-rod geometry to prevent binding during vertical ascent and descent.
Dual-Side Carton Flappers
Actuates folding mechanisms from both ends of the compact riveted body simultaneously, saving axial depth inside tight packaging machinery.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X50 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit against adjacent bores, the SDAD25 provides 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa, while the larger SDAD40 offers 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa. The 32mm bore strikes a middle ground, providing a safe working load of roughly 207 N, which translates to a vertical lift capacity of about 17.6 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
This configuration features a PT1/8 port, female M6x1.0 rod-end threads on both sides, and no piston magnet, meaning magnetic switches cannot be used. Note that a standard cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve centers; the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end and will not hold the load. For secure load holding, integrate 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 SDAD32X50 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 maximum theoretical output of 70 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the through-rod resists twisting and allows dual-end mounting. However, this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept magnetic reed or electronic switches without upgrading to the magnet-equipped variant.
