The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X60B 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.
The AirTAC SDAD32X60B is a double-acting compact cylinder featuring a through-rod that exits both ends of the riveted body. Because the piston rod occupies each chamber equally, the annular area remains constant, delivering an identical push and pull force of 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric output is ideal for driving loads that require consistent resistance in both directions.
This specific configuration includes male M10x1.25 rod threads on both ends, allowing direct mounting of tooling without extra adapters. The 32 mm bore uses a PT1/8 air port and operates at speeds between 30 and 500 mm/s. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by fixed NBR bumpers rather than adjustable cushions, keeping the overall length short for tight machinery envelopes.

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.
| 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.

Drives a cutting head on one rod end while a tracking dog mounts on the opposite end, utilizing the 345.6 N equal force to maintain steady pressure on both extend and retract strokes.
Clamps a workpiece from both sides using the anti-rotation through-rod, ensuring the tooling stays perfectly aligned during the 60 mm travel without twisting under load.
Fits into shallow machine envelopes with its short riveted body, pushing and pulling a delicate electronics tray with matched force to prevent sudden snags on direction reversal.
When sizing this unit, consider the adjacent bores: stepping down to the SDAD25 yields 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDAD40 provides 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa. For this 32 mm bore, a safe working load is approximately 207 N, which translates to a vertical lift capacity of roughly 17.6 kg when applying a 2:1 safety margin. The through-rod geometry prevents twisting during extension and retraction, and allows you to mount a work tool on one end while leaving the opposite end free for a mechanical dog.
This SKU features male M10x1.25 piston rod threads and lacks a piston magnet, meaning it cannot support reed or electronic switches without switching to the -S variant. Remember that the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the load near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake. If your application requires the load to remain stationary upon air loss or valve centering, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
The push and pull forces are identical because the rod exits both ends. 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.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet, so it cannot trigger reed or electronic switches. You would need the SDAD32X60BS variant to utilize the body sensor grooves for position detection.
