Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD40X100SB
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD40X100SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø40mm bore, 100mm 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 SDAD40X100SB
The AirTAC SDAD40X100SB 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 in each direction, yielding an equal push and pull force of 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for balancing loads without tweaking pressure regulators.
This specific configuration includes a built-in magnet for position sensing alongside male M14x1.5 rod threads on both ends. The 16 mm rod diameter resists mechanical twisting, while the short body footprint saves valuable axial mounting depth. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper, which absorbs shock without requiring manual adjustment.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD40X100SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD40X100SB |
|---|---|
| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø40 mm |
| Stroke | 100 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 SDAD40X100SB Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Gripper
Drives an end-effector on one side while a dog trips a switch on the other, using the 527.8 N equal force to move parts smoothly without rotational twist.
Zero-Shift Pin Press
Presses pins with identical extend and retract dynamics, ensuring the 16 mm through-rod maintains strict alignment across the 100 mm travel.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD40X100SB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40 mm bore, compare its 527.8 N output at 0.5 MPa against adjacent models. Dropping down to the SDAD32 provides 345.6 N, whereas stepping up to the SDAD50 yields 824.7 N.
The through-rod geometry prevents rotation and permits driving a tool on one end while mounting a dog on the opposite side. Remember that a standard cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve centers, as the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end and never acts as a lock; utilize an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding. This unit features a 100 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, an S magnet for reed or electronic switches, and B code male M14x1.5 rods.
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 SDAD40X100SB FAQ
The double-rod design produces 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 through-rod resists twisting and allows you to mount tooling on one end and a position dog on the other. This unit includes the S magnet for reed or electronic switches and B code male M14x1.5 threads at both ends.
