The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X80S 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.
The AirTAC SDAD32X80S is a compact double-acting cylinder featuring a 32 mm bore and an 80 mm stroke. Because the piston rod exits both ends of the riveted body, the annular area remains identical in both directions, ensuring push force equals pull force at 345.6 N under 0.5 MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for balanced actuation, while the through-rod geometry inherently resists twisting during operation.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S), this unit supports AirTAC reed or electronic switches for position sensing via the body grooves. The 12 mm rod operates at 30-500 mm/s, driven through a PT1/8 port. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper, which absorbs shock but is not an adjustable air cushion. A safe working load is approximately 207 N, yielding a vertical lift capacity of roughly 17.6 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.

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.

Utilizes the equal 345.6 N push and pull force to grip and release delicate wafers without directional force bias, ensuring stable handling across the 80 mm travel.
Exploits the through-rod torsional resistance to hold a straightening blade steady on one end while a position sensor tracks the opposite end.
Mounts a contact pad on the first rod end and a cam dog on the second, allowing the 80 mm stroke to index a conveyor part while triggering an electronic switch.
When sizing this 32 mm bore unit, compare its 345.6 N output at 0.5 MPa against adjacent models. Stepping down to the SDAD25 provides 206.2 N, whereas moving up to the SDAD40 yields 527.8 N, making the SDAD32X80S the middle ground for moderate thrust requirements. The dual-end rod allows driving a tool on one side while mounting a switch dog on the opposite end, preventing rotation without extra guides.
This configuration includes the -S magnet for sensing and female M6x1.0 rod-end threads on both sides. Remember that a standard compact cylinder cannot hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve centers; the piston will drift. For suspended loads, integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates near the stroke end.
Quick checklist
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.
No, the piston will drift if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the stroke end; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding.
