Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD50X10SB
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD50X10SB 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 SDAD50X10SB
The AirTAC SDAD50X10SB is a double-acting compact 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 824.7 N of push and pull force at 0.5 MPa. This symmetry is ideal for driving loads that require consistent momentum in both strokes.
The short body design drastically reduces axial mounting depth compared to standard round-body units. Equipped with a built-in magnet, this unit supports reed or electronic switches for position feedback. The male M18x1.5 rod threads on both ends allow for secure, direct tool mounting while the fixed NBR bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD50X10SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD50X10SB |
|---|---|
| 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 SDAD50X10SB Is Used
Symmetrical Transfer Clamps
Uses the equal 824.7 N bidirectional force to securely grip and shift heavy pallets without the force dropping at the end of the stroke.
Twin-End Machining Jigs
Mounts a machining head on one male M18x1.5 rod end and a limit switch dog on the opposite end, leveraging the anti-rotation through-rod for precise milling.
Balanced Vertical Lifters
Handles 42 kg loads vertically with a 2:1 margin, relying on the matching extend and retract forces to prevent sagging on the return stroke.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD50X10SB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 50 mm bore, compare its 824.7 N @0.5 MPa output with neighboring models. Dropping down to the SDAD40 yields 527.8 N, while stepping up to the SDAD63 provides 1401.5 N. This positions the SDAD50X10SB perfectly for medium-duty tasks, offering a safe working load of roughly 495 N or a vertical lift capacity of about 42 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
The through-rod geometry prevents twisting and lets you mount a tool on one end and a position dog on the other. Remember that a plain cylinder does not hold its load when air is lost or the valve is centered; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding. This specific configuration includes the S magnet for sensing and the B option for male M18x1.5 rod threads, operating on a PT1/4 port at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
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 SDAD50X10SB FAQ
The push and pull forces are equal because of the double-rod design. It generates 824.7 N at 0.5 MPa and 1154.5 N at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum is 168 kgf at 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
The through-rod resists twisting and allows you to mount tools or dogs on both ends. The S option adds a piston magnet for reed or electronic switches, while the B option provides male M18x1.5 threads on both rod ends for direct mounting.
