Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD50X10H
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD50X10H is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø50mm bore, 10mm 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 SDAD50X10H
The AirTAC SDAD50X10H is a compact double-acting cylinder featuring a through-rod that exits both ends of its riveted body. Because the rod occupies both chambers, the annular area remains identical in either direction, ensuring push force equals pull force at exactly 824.7 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetry is crucial for mechanisms requiring consistent drive dynamics in both travel directions.
This specific SKU utilizes a fluororubber (FKM) seal for enhanced thermal and oil resistance. The 50 mm bore uses a PT1/4 port and a 20 mm diameter rod at each end. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. Note that this base configuration lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot directly host magnetic switches without the -S option.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD50X10H Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD50X10H |
|---|---|
| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø50 mm |
| Stroke | 10 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 SDAD50X10H Is Used
Symmetric Pinching Jaws
Drives an opposing jaw set where the 824.7 N equal bidirectional force ensures identical grip and release dynamics on 50 mm components.
Lift-and-Place Escapement
Uses the dual-end through-rod to actuate a vertical lift on one side while triggering a mechanical dog on the other, preventing rotation during travel.
High-Temp Transfer Stopper
Deploys the FKM seal variant to reliably halt hot or oily workpieces on a belt without premature elastomer degradation.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD50X10H the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, consider the adjacent bores: the SDAD40 yields 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa, while the SDAD63 provides 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa. The 50 mm bore offers a computed safe working load of roughly 495 N (about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa figure) and can vertically lift approximately 42 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The through-rod design inherently resists twisting and permits mounting a tool on one end while utilizing the opposite end for a dog or secondary mechanism.
Remember that a standard cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the piston will drift. The fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke near its end points and does not act as a lock. For load-holding requirements, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Confirm your required 10 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, female M10x1.5 rod threads, and the FKM seal compatibility before ordering.
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 SDAD50X10H FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the push and pull forces are equal: 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.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet, so it cannot support reed or electronic switches. You would need the -S option to enable sensing, though you can still utilize the exposed rod on the opposite end for external mechanical dogs.
