Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X60
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X60 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø32mm bore, 60mm 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 SDAD32X60
The AirTAC SDAD32X60 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, yielding exactly 345.6 N of force at 0.5 MPa on both extend and retract strokes. This symmetry is crucial for mechanisms requiring balanced push and pull dynamics.
This specific 32 mm bore variant uses a 12 mm piston rod and a PT1/8 air port. It provides a safe working load of roughly 207 N, which translates to a vertical lift capacity of about 17.6 kg when applying a 2:1 safety margin. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, keeping the overall footprint exceptionally short.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X60 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X60 |
|---|---|
| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 60 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 SDAD32X60 Is Used
Gripper Synchronization
Drives opposing gripper jaws where the equal 345.6 N extend and retract forces prevent biasing the part during clamping and release operations.
Transfer Shuttle
Moves a transfer carriage on a 60 mm stroke; the dual-end rod allows mounting a mechanical stop dog on the rear while the front end pushes the payload.
Vertical Lift Platform
Raises a 17.6 kg workpiece using the 2:1 safety margin, relying on the through-rod to prevent platform twist without needing external linear guides.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X60 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, consider the neighboring bores: stepping down to the SDAD25 provides 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to the SDAD40 offers 527.8 N. The SDAD32X60 hits a solid middle ground for 60 mm travel. Its through-rod geometry inherently resists twisting, allowing you to mount a work tool on one end and a dog or stop on the opposite side simultaneously.
This configuration ships without a piston magnet, so it cannot support reed or electronic switches; add the -S option if position sensing is required. The female M6x1.0 rod-end threads are standard on both ends. Remember that a standard cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve centers, so install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if your application demands strict load holding.
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 SDAD32X60 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.
Yes, the through-rod resists rotation and exits both ends, allowing you to drive a tool on one side while mounting a dog on the other. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so position sensing requires the -S variant to use reed or electronic switches.
