The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X60SB 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 SDAD32X60SB is a double-acting, double-rod compact cylinder featuring a 32 mm bore and 60 mm stroke. Because the piston rod exits both ends, the annular area remains identical in both chambers, delivering an equal push and pull force of 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for balancing loads without tweaking pressure regulators.
This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet for AirTAC reed or electronic switches, plus male M10x1.25 rod threads on both ends to simplify external mounting. The short riveted body minimizes axial footprint, while fixed NBR bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock. Operating speed spans 30-500 mm/s within a 0.15-1.0 MPa pressure range.

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 gripper on one end and a dog on the other to shuttle parts with 345.6 N of balanced force, preventing twist during rapid reversals.
Uses the male M10x1.25 rods on both sides to mount forming tools, maintaining parallel tracking across a 60 mm stroke.
Raises and lowers a 17.6 kg platen vertically, relying on the equal extend and retract thrust to keep motion smooth without drift bias.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, compare its 345.6 N output at 0.5 MPa against adjacent models: the SDAD25 yields 206.2 N, whereas the SDAD40 provides 527.8 N. Based on the 345.6 N figure, a safe working load is roughly 207 N (about 60 percent capacity), translating to a vertical lift of approximately 17.6 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
The through-rod design prevents twisting and permits driving a tool on one end while mounting a position dog on the opposite side. Remember that a standard cylinder drifts when air is removed or the valve centers; utilize an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for strict load holding. This SDAD32X60SB variant features PT1/8 ports, a 12 mm rod, the -S magnet, and male -B rod threads.
Quick checklist
The SDAD32X60SB delivers an equal force of 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa in both directions, with a theoretical maximum of 70 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the push and pull forces are identical.
The through-rod resists rotation and allows you to mount tooling on one end while tracking position with a switch on the other. The built-in magnet supports AirTAC reed or electronic switches, while the male M10x1.25 threads on both rods simplify attachment.
