Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X50SB
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X50SB 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 SDAD32X50SB
The AirTAC SDAD32X50SB is a double-acting, double-rod compact cylinder featuring a 32 mm bore and 50 mm stroke. Because the piston rod exits both ends, the annular area remains identical in each chamber, yielding exactly 345.6 N of force at 0.5 MPa on both extend and retract strokes. This symmetric output is perfect for balanced actuation.
The through-rod geometry inherently resists mechanical twisting, while the short riveted body minimizes axial footprint. Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S) for reed or electronic switches and male M10x1.25 threads (-B) on both rod ends, it allows you to mount a tool on one side and a position dog on the other simultaneously.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X50SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X50SB |
|---|---|
| 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 SDAD32X50SB Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Unit
Utilizes the equal 345.6 N push and pull force to smoothly shuttle a 17.6 kg vertical payload back and forth without stroke-direction bias.
Dual-End Tooling Station
Exploits the male M10x1.25 rods exiting both ends to drive a forming die on one side while a reed switch tracks position on the opposite end.
Anti-Rotation Guide Jig
Leverages the through-rod design to resist twisting during a 50 mm clamping cycle, maintaining strict alignment in a tight riveted-body footprint.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X50SB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, consider the neighboring bores: the SDAD25 provides 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa, while the larger SDAD40 delivers 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa. The 32 mm bore hits a versatile middle ground, offering a safe working load of roughly 207 N (about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa rating) and a vertical lift capacity of approximately 17.6 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
This configuration includes the -S magnet for sensing and -B male M10x1.25 rod threads on both ends. Note that a standard cylinder drifts when air is removed or a valve centers; the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the stroke end. For secure load holding without live pressure, 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 SDAD32X50SB FAQ
The force is identical in both directions due to the double-rod design. It generates 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. The maximum operating pressure is 1.0 MPa.
The through-rod prevents rotation and allows mounting a tool on one end and a sensor dog on the other. The -B option provides male M10x1.25 threads on both rod ends for secure external attachment, while the -S magnet enables tracking with reed or electronic switches.
