The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD40X110SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø40mm bore, 110mm 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 SDAD40X110SB 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 equally, the annular area remains constant, delivering identical push and pull forces 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 and male M14x1.5 rod threads on both ends. The 16 mm diameter rods resist twisting during extension, while the short body profile saves valuable axial mounting depth. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion.

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 | 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.

Drives opposing gripper jaws where the 527.8 N equal bidirectional force ensures perfectly balanced clamping pressure on delicate extrusions.
Lifts a 26.9 kg vertical platform using the anti-rotation through-rod to prevent carriage twisting during the 110 mm travel.
Mounts a male M14x1.5 tooling head on one end and a magnetic dog on the other to trigger a reed switch mid-stroke.
When sizing this unit, compare its 527.8 N output at 0.5 MPa against adjacent bores. 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 mounting a tool on one end while tracking position with a reed or electronic switch on the opposite side. Remember that the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke end; a plain cylinder drifts if air pressure drops, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding. This model features a 110 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, the -S magnet, and male M14x1.5 threads.
Quick checklist
The double-rod design provides equal force in both directions: 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.
No, the piston will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the stroke near the end; for load holding without live pressure, you must install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
