The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD50X110 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø50mm bore, 110mm 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 SDAD50X110 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 remains identical in either direction, yielding an equal push and pull force of 824.7 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric output is highly advantageous when driving loads that require consistent momentum control in both travel directions.
This specific 50 mm bore variant utilizes a 20 mm rod and a PT1/4 port, operating seamlessly between 30 and 500 mm/s. The short body design drastically reduces axial mounting depth compared to traditional round-body units. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled solely by fixed NBR bumpers, which absorb shock without the complexity of adjustable air cushions. Note that this base SKU lacks a piston magnet, so position sensing is not supported without upgrading to an -S variant.

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 | 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.

Provides 824.7 N of equal force in both directions to raise and lower 42 kg vertical platforms smoothly without twisting.
Mounts a pusher plate on one rod end and a cam dog on the other to actuate external limit valves during the 110 mm traverse.
The fixed 20 mm through-rod resists torsional deflection, ensuring precision when clamping irregularly shaped metal parts.
When sizing this unit, evaluate your force requirements against its neighboring bores. Stepping down to the SDAD40 provides 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDAD63 yields 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa. The 50 mm bore offers a computed safe working load of roughly 495 N, which translates to a vertical lift capacity of about 42 kg when applying a 2:1 safety margin. This makes it a robust middle ground for moderate payload manipulation.
The through-rod geometry inherently resists twisting, allowing you to mount a tool on one end and a dog or fixture on the opposite side simultaneously. Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder cannot hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve centers; the piston will drift. For load-holding security, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Confirm your build requires female M10x1.5 rod-end threads on both sides and a 110 mm stroke before ordering.
Quick checklist
The double-rod design provides equal force in both directions: 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. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet. To use AirTAC reed or electronic switches, you must select the SDAD50X110S variant. The through-rod still allows dual-end mounting for mechanical dogs or external sensors.
