Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD40X60SB
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD40X60SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø40mm bore, 60mm 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 SDAD40X60SB
The AirTAC SDAD40X60SB is a compact double-acting cylinder featuring a through-rod that exits both ends of the riveted body. Because the piston rod occupies both chambers, the annular area is identical in each direction, meaning push force equals pull force at 527.8 N under 0.5 MPa. This symmetry is ideal for driving loads that require consistent momentum in both strokes.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S) and male-thread rods (-B), this 40 mm bore unit uses M14x1.5 threads on both ends for direct tool mounting. The short body design minimizes axial footprint, while the fixed NBR bumper decelerates the piston near stroke end. Operating speed spans 30-500 mm/s within a 0.15-1.0 MPa pressure range.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD40X60SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD40X60SB |
|---|---|
| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø40 mm |
| Stroke | 60 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 SDAD40X60SB Is Used
Gripper Synchronization
Drives opposing gripper jaws where the male M14x1.5 threads mount custom fingers, utilizing the 527.8 N equal bidirectional force for stable clamping.
Transfer Shuttle
Moves a transfer carriage back and forth on a conveyor, leveraging the anti-rotation through-rod to prevent workpiece twisting during transit.
Elevator Lift
Raises and lowers a 26.9 kg platform vertically, taking advantage of the matching extend and retract forces to maintain smooth descent speeds.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD40X60SB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this model, consider the neighboring bores: stepping down to SDAD32 yields 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to SDAD50 provides 824.7 N. The through-rod geometry resists twisting and permits mounting a tool on one end with a dog or switch on the opposite side.
This configuration includes the -S magnet for AirTAC reed or electronic switches and the -B male M14x1.5 rod threads at both ends. Air enters via PT1/8 ports. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold position if air is lost or the valve centers; the piston will drift. For 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 SDAD40X60SB FAQ
The force is equal in both directions due to the double-rod design. It generates 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.
Yes, the -S code indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with AirTAC reed or electronic switches via the body grooves. The -B code specifies male M14x1.5 rod threads at both ends, allowing you to drive a tool on one side and a detection dog on the other.
