Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD40X10SB
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD40X10SB 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 SDAD40X10SB
The AirTAC SDAD40X10SB 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, giving exactly 527.8 N of push and pull force at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for balancing loads without tweaking regulator pressures.
Built with a 40 mm bore and a short 10 mm stroke, this variant includes a built-in magnet for position sensing and male M14x1.5 rod threads on both ends. The fixed NBR bumper decelerates the piston near stroke end, while the compact footprint saves axial mounting depth where a longer cylinder will not fit.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD40X10SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD40X10SB |
|---|---|
| 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 SDAD40X10SB Is Used
Gripper Jaw Sync
Drives opposing gripper fingers with equal 527.8 N force, using the male M14x1.5 threads to mount custom jaws securely on both ends.
Short-Stroke Stamping
Provides anti-rotation resistance during a 10 mm marking stroke, ensuring the tool face stays perfectly perpendicular to the part.
Dual-End Transfer
Pushes a part on the front rod while the rear rod triggers a reed switch, keeping the 26.9 kg vertical lift cycle tightly sequenced.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD40X10SB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, consider the neighbouring bores: stepping down to SDAD32 provides 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to SDAD50 yields 824.7 N. The through-rod geometry resists twisting and lets you mount a tool on one end and a dog on the opposite side.
This configuration specifies the -S magnet for AirTAC reed or electronic switches, plus the -B male M14x1.5 rod threads at both ends. Porting is PT1/8. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centred; the fixed bumper only decelerates impact and does not lock the load. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for holding.
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 SDAD40X10SB FAQ
Because the double rod creates equal annular areas, force is identical 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 prevents twisting and allows mounting a tool on one end and a sensor dog on the other. The -B option provides male M14x1.5 threads on both ends for secure mechanical attachment.
