The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD40X75SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø40mm bore, 75mm 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 SDAD40X75SB 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 an equal push and pull force of 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetry is ideal for driving loads that require consistent kinetic energy regardless of travel direction.
This specific configuration includes a built-in magnet for position sensing alongside male M14x1.5 threads on both rod ends. The short body geometry minimizes axial mounting depth, while end-of-stroke deceleration is handled by fixed NBR bumpers rather than adjustable air cushions.

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 a gripper chuck that pushes and pulls a 25 kg workpiece with identical 527.8 N force, ensuring smooth handoffs without momentum spikes.
Uses the through-rod geometry to resist twisting while aligning sheet metal, keeping the tooling plane stable across the 75 mm travel.
Mounts a male-thread stamping die on one end and a position dog on the other, leveraging the dual M14x1.5 rod ends for synchronized processing.
When sizing this unit, compare its 527.8 N output at 0.5 MPa against neighboring bores. Dropping down to SDAD32 yields 345.6 N, whereas stepping up to SDAD50 provides 824.7 N. A practical safe working load is roughly 317 N (about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa figure), allowing a vertical lift of approximately 26.9 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
The through-rod design resists twisting and permits mounting a tool on one end with a dog on the opposite end. Note that a standard cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve centers; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding. This model has a 40 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, male M14x1.5 rod threads, and a magnet for reed or electronic switches.
Quick checklist
The push and pull forces are equal because the rod exits both ends. 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 male M14x1.5 threads on both ends allow you to attach a tool to one side and a dog for a reed or electronic switch on the other. The through-rod also provides inherent anti-rotation resistance during operation.
