Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD50X100S
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD50X100S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø50mm bore, 100mm 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 SDAD50X100S
The AirTAC SDAD50X100S 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 824.7 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric output is ideal for balancing loads without tweaking pressure regulators.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S), this unit triggers AirTAC reed or electronic switches via the body sensor grooves. The 50 mm bore utilizes a 20 mm rod and a PT1/4 port, while end-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. The short body depth saves axial mounting space where larger profile cylinders cannot fit.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD50X100S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD50X100S |
|---|---|
| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø50 mm |
| Stroke | 100 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, rod both ends |
| Port size | PT1/4 |
| Rod end thread | M10×1.5 female / M18×1.5 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 (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Force (both directions) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1155 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 168 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 SDAD50X100S Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Gates
Drives opposing gripper gates with equal 824.7 N push and pull forces at 0.5 MPa, ensuring perfectly synchronized part handoffs without mechanical binding.
Balanced Lift Stations
Elevates 42 kg platens vertically using the dual-end rod, maintaining anti-rotation stability while allowing a position switch to mount on the opposing end.
Dual-End Sealing Press
Compresses carton flaps on one rod tip while the opposite end actuates a secondary flap tucker, capitalizing on the compact riveted body to fit tight conveyor gaps.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD50X100S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit against its neighbors, the SDAD40 provides 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas the SDAD63 jumps to 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa. The SDAD50X100S sits comfortably in the middle, offering a safe working load of roughly 495 N (about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa rating) and a vertical lift capacity near 42 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Choose this 50 mm bore when your application demands balanced force without the bulk of the 63 mm variant.
The through-rod geometry resists twisting and permits mounting a tool on one end while a dog trips a switch on the opposite side. Remember that a standard cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve centers; the fixed NBR bumper only slows the stroke end and will not hold the load. For load holding without live pressure, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. This configuration includes the S magnet and female M10x1.5 rod-end threads on both sides.
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 SDAD50X100S FAQ
Because the rod exits both ends, push and pull forces are identical: 824.7 N at 0.5 MPa, 1154.5 N at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 168 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The maximum operating pressure is 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the through-rod design resists rotation and allows you to drive a tool on one end while mounting a dog or switch on the opposite end. This specific model includes the -S magnet, so it works directly with AirTAC reed or electronic switches in the body grooves.
