Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X50B
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X50B 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 SDAD32X50B
The AirTAC SDAD32X50B is a double-acting compact cylinder featuring a through-rod that exits both ends of the riveted body. Because the rod occupies both chambers, the annular area is identical in each direction, giving you exactly 345.6 N of push and pull force at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric output is essential for tooling that must perform equal work on the advance and return strokes.
This specific SKU includes male M10x1.25 threads on both 12 mm rod ends, allowing direct mounting of external fixtures. The short body design drastically reduces axial footprint compared to standard round-body options. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by fixed NBR bumpers rather than adjustable cushions, and this base configuration lacks a piston magnet for position sensing.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X50B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X50B |
|---|---|
| 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 SDAD32X50B Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Jaws
Drives a gripper on one end and a synchronized dog on the opposite end, utilizing the equal 345.6 N force to securely shift components without rotational twist.
Dual-Side Pinning Press
Uses the male M10x1.25 threads on both rod ends to mount custom heading tools, pushing pins from two directions with identical 0.5 MPa thrust.
Compact PCB Ejector
Fits into tight machine cells where axial depth is restricted, relying on the fixed NBR bumpers to absorb the shock of rapid board ejection at up to 500 mm/s.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X50B the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, consider the neighboring bores: stepping down to the SDAD25 yields 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDAD40 provides 527.8 N. The 32 mm bore offers a computed safe working load of roughly 207 N (about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa rating), translating to a vertical lift capacity of approximately 17.6 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Choose this model when your payload falls within that window and requires the anti-rotation stability of a through-rod.
This configuration specifies a 50 mm stroke, PT1/8 air port, and male M10x1.25 rod threads on both ends. It carries no piston magnet, so it cannot support reed or electronic switches without upgrading to the -S variant. Remember that a standard cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve centers; the NBR bumper only decelerates the stroke end and does not function as a load-holding brake. For suspended loads, 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 SDAD32X50B FAQ
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 is 70 kgf at 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
The through-rod prevents twisting during operation and allows you to mount a tool on one end while attaching a mechanical stop or secondary fixture on the other. The male M10x1.25 threads on both ends simplify the attachment of external components.
