Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD40X10S
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD40X10S 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 SDAD40X10S
The AirTAC SDAD40X10S is a compact double-acting cylinder featuring a through-rod that exits both ends of the riveted body. Because the piston rod occupies each chamber, the annular area remains identical on extension and retraction, yielding an equal push and pull force of 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric thrust is highly advantageous for loads requiring consistent kinetic energy in both travel directions.
Designed for tight spaces, the short body minimizes axial mounting depth where larger profile cylinders cannot fit. The 16 mm diameter rod provides rigid anti-rotation guidance, allowing you to mount a work tool on one end and a position dog on the opposite side. This specific unit includes the S option, meaning a built-in piston magnet is fitted for direct use with AirTAC reed or electronic solid-state switches.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD40X10S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD40X10S |
|---|---|
| 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 SDAD40X10S Is Used
Gripper Jaw Sync
Drives opposing gripper fingers with identical 527.8 N force in both directions, ensuring perfectly centered clamping on precision machined parts.
Dual-End Transfer
Mounts a pick-and-place head on one rod end and a magnetic dog on the other, using the 10 mm short stroke to cycle parts rapidly between stations.
Balanced Lift Stop
Lifts a 26.9 kg vertical payload using the anti-rotation through-rod to prevent twisting, stopping cleanly via the fixed NBR bumper at stroke end.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD40X10S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this model, evaluate the neighbouring bores to ensure correct force matching. Stepping down to the SDAD32 provides 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDAD50 yields 824.7 N at 0.5 MPa.
The through-rod geometry resists twisting and enables dual-end mounting, but a plain cylinder does not hold position if air pressure drops or the valve is centred—the piston will drift. For load holding without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. This configuration specifies a 40 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female M8x1.25 rod-end threads, and the S magnet option.
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 SDAD40X10S FAQ
Because the rod exits both ends, the push and pull forces are identical. It generates 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 738.9 N at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum is 108 kgf at 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
Yes, the S suffix means a built-in magnet is included for AirTAC reed or electronic switches. The through-rod resists rotation and lets you mount a tool on one end while tracking position with a switch on the opposite end.
