Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X80
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X80 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø32mm bore, 80mm 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 SDAD32X80
The AirTAC SDAD32X80 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 on extend and retract, yielding an equal push and pull force of 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetry is essential for mechanisms requiring consistent kinetic output regardless of travel direction.
With an 80 mm stroke and 12 mm rod diameter, this unit saves axial mounting depth compared to conventional round-body options. The fixed NBR bumper at each end decelerates the piston near stroke termination, but it is not an adjustable air cushion. Note that this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot directly host magnetic switches without upgrading to the -S variant.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X80 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X80 |
|---|---|
| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 80 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 SDAD32X80 Is Used
Symmetrical Transfer Jaws
Drives a dual-jaw gripper where the equal 345.6 N extend and retract forces ensure parts are clamped and released with identical pressure, preventing deformation.
Anti-Rotation Guide Arm
Uses the through-rod to push a linear guide while a dog mounted on the opposite end trips an external mechanical switch without twisting under load.
Balanced Vertical Lift
Lifts a 17.6 kg payload vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, leveraging the matching annular areas to maintain steady speed in both upward and downward strokes.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X80 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore unit, evaluate the neighbouring capacities: the smaller SDAD25 provides 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa, while the larger SDAD40 offers 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa. Based on the 345.6 N output at 0.5 MPa, the safe working load is roughly 207 N (using a 60 percent margin), which translates to a vertical lift capability of about 17.6 kg with a 2:1 safety factor. This makes the SDAD32X80 well-suited for moderate horizontal transfer tasks.
The through-rod geometry resists torsional twisting, allowing you to mount a work tool on one end and a dog or mechanical stop on the opposite end. Confirm your setup requires female M6x1.0 rod-end threads and a PT1/8 air port. Remember that a standard cylinder does not hold position upon air loss or valve centring—the piston will drift; for load holding, integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
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 SDAD32X80 FAQ
The double-rod design provides equal force in both directions: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum is 70 kgf at 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
Yes, the through-rod resists twisting and allows dual-end mounting. However, this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot host magnetic switches directly; you would need the -S variant for reed or electronic sensing.
