Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD40X10
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD40X10 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø40mm bore, 10mm 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 SDAD40X10
The AirTAC SDAD40X10 is a compact double-acting cylinder with a piston rod extending from both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical on extend and retract, yielding exactly 527.8 N of push and pull force at 0.5 MPa. This symmetry is ideal for driving loads that must not twist during short 10mm movements.
The riveted body saves axial mounting depth where longer cylinders fail to fit. A fixed NBR bumper at each end absorbs the end-of-stroke shock, as there is no adjustable air cushion. The 16mm through-rod features an M8x1.25 female thread on both ends, allowing you to mount a tool on one side and a dog or fixture on the opposite.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD40X10 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD40X10 |
|---|---|
| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø40 mm |
| Stroke | 10 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, rod both ends |
| Port size | PT1/8 |
| Rod end thread | M8×1.25 female / M14×1.5 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 (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Force (both directions) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 739 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 108 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 SDAD40X10 Is Used
Precision Gauging
Uses the equal 527.8 N push and pull to clamp parts symmetrically during measurement without deflecting the fixture.
Dual-End Transfer
Mounts a pusher on one rod end and a tracking dog on the opposite end to shuttle components in a 10mm gap.
Compact Pin Insertion
Fits into shallow machine profiles to press pins, relying on the 16mm through-rod to resist twisting under offset loads.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD40X10 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40mm bore, compare its 527.8 N output at 0.5 MPa both ways against its neighbors. Dropping to the SDAD32 provides 345.6 N, while stepping up to the SDAD50 yields 824.7 N.
The twin-rod geometry inherently resists rotation, letting you drive a mechanism on one end while reading position with a dog on the other. Note that this SKU lacks the S magnet option, so it cannot accept reed or electronic switches. Furthermore, the cylinder will not hold a load if air pressure drops; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure positioning. Air connects via PT1/8 ports.
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 SDAD40X10 FAQ
The double-rod design provides equal force in both directions: 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa, 738.9 N at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 108 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The maximum operating pressure is 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the 16mm through-rod exits both sides with an M8x1.25 female thread, allowing you to drive a tool on one end and mount a dog on the other. This geometry also prevents the piston from rotating during the 10mm stroke.
