The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X65 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø32mm bore, 65mm 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 SDAD32X65 is a double-acting compact cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and a 65mm stroke. Because the piston rod exits both ends of the riveted body, the annular area remains identical in both chambers, ensuring push force equals pull force at 345.6 N under 0.5 MPa. This symmetric output is ideal for balanced actuation tasks.
A 12mm through-rod resists twisting during operation, allowing you to mount a work tool on one end and a dog or switch on the opposite side. The short body design minimizes axial footprint, while the fixed NBR bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock. Note this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so position sensing is not supported without the -S option.

| 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) |

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.

| ×65 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Built-in magnet for magnetic-switch sensing (omit = none). |

Thread: PT standard. Related SDA-family variants: SDA (single rod), SSA/STA (single acting), SDAJ (adjustable stroke), SDAT (duplex), SDAW (duplex-end).
Drives opposing gripper fingers with equal 345.6 N force in both directions, ensuring parts are clamped securely without rotational twist during transfer.
Mounts a diverter blade on one rod end and a tracking dog on the opposite end, utilizing the 65mm stroke to push products smoothly across a belt.
Raises and lowers a 17.6 kg machining fixture with consistent force both up and down, relying on the anti-rotation rod to prevent platform skewing.
When sizing this model, compare its bidirectional 345.6 N output at 0.5 MPa against adjacent bores. Stepping down, the SDAD25 provides 206.2 N, whereas stepping up to the SDAD40 yields 527.8 N. For your application, a safe working load is roughly 207 N, translating to a vertical lift capacity of about 17.6 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
The through-rod geometry prevents rotation and enables dual-end mounting, but remember the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke end and does not lock the piston. If air pressure drops, the cylinder will drift, so integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding. This configuration uses a PT1/8 port, female M6x1.0 rod threads, and operates at 30-500 mm/s.
Quick checklist
The SDAD32X65 generates 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 70 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because it is a double-rod cylinder, these force figures are exactly equal in both the extend and retract directions.
Yes, the 12mm through-rod protrudes from both sides, allowing you to drive a tool on one end while attaching a dog on the other. This geometry also prevents rotation. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so you cannot mount reed or electronic switches without choosing the -S variant.
