Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X5S
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X5S 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 SDAD32X5S
The AirTAC SDAD32X5S is a double-acting compact cylinder featuring a 32 mm bore and a 5 mm stroke, with piston rods extending from both ends of its riveted body. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area remains identical in both directions, yielding an equal push and pull force of 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetry is highly advantageous when driving rigid loads that require consistent actuation without shifting center of mass. The short 5 mm stroke provides immediate end-of-travel contact for high-cycle clamping.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S), this unit supports AirTAC reed or electronic switches for position sensing via the body's integral grooves. The through-rod geometry inherently resists twisting, allowing you to mount a gripper on one end while tracking a dog on the opposite side. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. With a 12 mm rod diameter and PT1/8 port, it operates efficiently between 30 and 500 mm/s.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X5S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X5S |
|---|---|
| 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 SDAD32X5S Is Used
Short-Stroke Part Clamping
Uses the 5 mm stroke and equal 345.6 N force to rapidly secure machined components during secondary milling operations without deflecting the workpiece.
Symmetric Stripper Ejection
Leverages the through-rod design to push a stripper plate with one end while the opposite end triggers an electronic sensor, ensuring perfectly timed material release.
Anti-Rotation Gate Diverter
Deploys the twisting resistance of the dual rods to actuate a lightweight sorting flap on a packaging line, maintaining precise angular alignment over continuous cycles.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X5S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this model, compare its bidirectional 345.6 N output at 0.5 MPa against adjacent bores: the SDAD25 provides 206.2 N, while the SDAD40 offers 527.8 N. For this 32 mm bore, a safe working load is approximately 207 N (about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa figure), translating to a vertical lift capacity of roughly 17.6 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The dual-end through-rod prevents rotation during rapid 5 mm strokes, but remember that a plain cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve centers—the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end and does not lock the load. For secure holding without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
This configuration includes the -S magnet for switch readiness and uses female M6x1.0 rod-end threads on both sides. Confirm your layout leaves adequate clearance for the 12 mm rods exiting both ends, and avoid imposing lateral side loads on the piston.
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 SDAD32X5S 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 theoretical maximum of 70 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.15 to 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the through-rod extends from both ends, allowing you to drive a tool on one side while mounting a dog to trigger a reed or electronic switch on the opposite side. The -S magnet enables this position sensing.
