The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD32X80SB 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 SDAD32X80SB is a double-acting, double-rod compact cylinder featuring an 80 mm stroke and a 32 mm bore. Because the piston rod exits both ends, the annular area is identical in each chamber, yielding an equal push and pull force of 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric output is ideal for driving loads that require consistent momentum in both directions.
The through-rod geometry inherently resists twisting, providing stable anti-rotation characteristics. Its short riveted body minimizes axial mounting depth, fitting where larger profile cylinders cannot. Equipped with a built-in magnet, it supports reed or electronic switches, while the male M10x1.25 rod threads on both ends offer direct tool mounting.

| 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.
| 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.

| ×80 | 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 pick-and-place arms where the 345.6 N equal force ensures smooth acceleration and deceleration of parts during both extension and retraction strokes.
The dual-exit through-rod resists twisting moments, keeping precision gauging fixtures perfectly aligned without needing external linear bearings.
Mounts a forming head on the male M10x1.25 thread at one end while a magnetic dog triggers a reed or electronic switch on the opposite end for synchronized processing.
When sizing this 32 mm bore unit, compare its 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. This positions the SDAD32X80SB perfectly for medium-duty tasks, offering a safe working load of roughly 207 N and a vertical lift capacity of approximately 17.6 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
The through-rod design allows you to mount a work tool on one end and a position dog on the opposite end simultaneously. Note that the fixed NBR bumper decelerates the stroke end but is not an adjustable air cushion. Furthermore, this cylinder will not hold a load if air pressure drops; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding. This specific configuration includes the -S magnet for sensing and -B male M10x1.25 rod threads at both ends, operating via a PT1/8 port.
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.
Yes, the through-rod extends from both sides, allowing you to drive a tool on one end while using the other for a switch dog. This specific -B variant features male M10x1.25 threads on both rod ends for direct mounting.
