Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X5B
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X5B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø32mm bore, 5mm 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 SDAD32X5B
The AirTAC SDAD32X5B is a double-acting, double-rod compact cylinder featuring a 32 mm bore and a 5 mm stroke. Because the piston rod exits both ends of the riveted body, the annular area remains identical in each chamber. This geometry ensures push force equals pull force, delivering exactly 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa in both directions. The through-rod design inherently resists rotation, providing stable guidance for precision tooling.
This specific SKU includes male M10x1.25 thread piston rods on both ends, allowing direct mounting of attachments externally. The short 5 mm stroke minimizes overall axial footprint, making it ideal for very tight clamping or ejection tasks. End-of-stroke energy is managed solely by a fixed NBR bumper, which decelerates the impact but is not an adjustable air cushion. Note that this configuration lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot support position sensing without switching to the -S variant.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X5B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X5B |
|---|---|
| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 5 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 SDAD32X5B Is Used
Precision Clamping Jig
Ideal for short-stroke clamping where the male M10x1.25 rod threads directly into a jaw, utilizing the 345.6 N equal force to secure parts without rotational drift.
Symmetric Lifting Pin
Drives a tooling pin from either end simultaneously, leveraging the anti-rotation through-rod to lift and lower 17.6 kg loads smoothly in automated assembly.
Compact Ejector Station
Fits into shallow machine frames using its 5 mm stroke and riveted body to push parts out, relying on the fixed NBR bumper to absorb the end shock.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X5B the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, consider the neighboring bores: the SDAD25 provides 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa, while the SDAD40 offers 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa. The SDAD32X5B sits comfortably in the middle at 345.6 N, yielding a safe working load of roughly 207 N (about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa figure) and a vertical lift capacity of approximately 17.6 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The male M10x1.25 rod ends on both sides require mating female threads on your tooling. Air supply connects via a PT1/8 port, and the cylinder operates at speeds between 30 and 500 mm/s.
The through-rod prevents twisting during high-speed actuation, but remember that a standard cylinder cannot hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered—the piston will drift. For load-holding requirements, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Also, ensure you leave clearance for the 12 mm rod exiting the rear end, and note that this non-magnetic version cannot accept reed or electronic switches.
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 SDAD32X5B FAQ
The double-rod design ensures equal force in both directions: 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.
This specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot accept reed or electronic switches. It features male M10x1.25 thread rods on both ends, allowing you to mount tooling on either side while the through-rod resists twisting.
