The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD50X110B 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 SDAD50X110B 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 you 824.7 N of push and pull force at 0.5 MPa. This symmetry prevents twisting and allows you to mount a work tool on one end while using the opposite side for a secondary action.
This specific SKU uses male M18x1.5 threads on both 20 mm rods and a PT1/4 port. The 110 mm stroke stays within the 130 mm standard limit. End-stop energy is managed solely by a fixed NBR bumper, so for high-speed cycles you should slow the approach or add external shock absorbers.

| 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) |

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.

| S | Built-in magnet for magnetic-switch sensing (omit = none). |

Drives a dual-jaw gripper where the equal 824.7 N extend and retract forces keep clamping pressure perfectly balanced across the 110 mm travel.
Mounts a male M18x1.5 tool on one rod end and a dog on the opposite end to trip a mechanical limit while shifting parts on a 50 mm bore line.
Raises a 42 kg vertical payload using the 20 mm through-rod, relying on the fixed NBR bumper to soften the stops at both the top and bottom of the stroke.
When sizing this unit, stepping down to the SDAD40 yields 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDAD63 provides 1401.5 N. This 50 mm bore offers a safe working load of roughly 495 N (about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa figure) and can vertically lift around 42 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
The through-rod geometry provides excellent anti-rotation stability for dual-end mounting. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates near the stroke end and acts as neither a lock nor a brake. For load holding without live pressure, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. This configuration lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept reed or electronic switches.
Quick checklist
The push and pull forces are identical because of the double-rod design. It generates 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 exits both sides with male M18x1.5 threads, allowing you to drive a tool on one end and a dog on the other. The dual-rod geometry also resists twisting. This SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot be used with magnetic switches.
