Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD40X45SB
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD40X45SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø40mm bore, 45mm 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 SDAD40X45SB
The AirTAC SDAD40X45SB is a compact double-acting 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 you exactly 527.8 N of push and pull force at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric output is perfect for balanced tooling operations.
This specific configuration includes a built-in magnet for position sensing and male M14x1.5 threads on the 16 mm rods at both ends. The short body design saves axial mounting depth compared to conventional cylinders. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper, which absorbs shock but is not an adjustable air cushion.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD40X45SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD40X45SB |
|---|---|
| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø40 mm |
| Stroke | 45 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 SDAD40X45SB Is Used
Edge Guide Mechanism
Uses the equal 527.8 N push and pull force to center web materials accurately without skewing, leveraging the anti-twist through-rod for stable tracking.
Dual-End Transfer Arm
Mounts a grip on the male M14x1.5 rod end and a position dog on the opposite side, synchronizing part hand-off in confined assembly spaces.
Balanced Lift Station
Raises and lowers a 26.9 kg payload vertically, relying on the symmetric force curve to prevent sagging on the downward return stroke.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD40X45SB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, consider the neighbouring bores: stepping down to the SDAD32 yields 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDAD50 provides 824.7 N. The through-rod geometry prevents twisting and allows you to mount a tool on one end and a dog on the opposite end.
This model uses a PT1/8 port and operates at 30-500 mm/s. Because it carries the S option, you can track position with AirTAC reed or electronic switches. The B option specifies male M14x1.5 rod threads on both sides. Note that a standard cylinder drifts when air is lost or a valve centers; the fixed bumper only decelerates near the stroke end. For secure load holding without live pressure, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
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 SDAD40X45SB 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.
The through-rod resists twisting under load and allows you to mount tooling or a switch dog on the opposite end. The B option provides male M14x1.5 threads on both 16 mm rods, giving you secure mechanical fastening on either side of the compact body.
