Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X10
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X10 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø63mm 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 SDAD63X10
The AirTAC SDAD63X10 is a compact double-acting cylinder featuring a 63mm bore and a 10mm stroke. Its through-rod design exits both ends of the riveted body, ensuring the annular area remains identical on extend and retract. Consequently, push and pull forces are perfectly balanced at 1401.5 N each way at 0.5 MPa.
This symmetric force output makes the unit exceptionally stable for lifting or gripping heavy jigs without twisting. The short 10mm movement keeps the overall footprint minimal, while the fixed NBR bumpers absorb end-of-stroke impacts. Operating between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa, it handles a safe working load of roughly 841 N, providing a 2:1 safety margin for vertical lifts up to 71.4 kg.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X10 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X10 |
|---|---|
| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø63 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 (Ø63mm)
| Pressure | Force (both directions) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1402 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1962 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 286 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 SDAD63X10 Is Used
Symmetric Lift Stations
Lifts 71.4 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin using equal 1401.5 N force in both directions to prevent load dropping on descent.
Anti-Rotation Guiding
Drives a precision pinning jig on one end while the opposing rod resists twist, keeping the 10mm stroke perfectly aligned.
Short-Stroke Clamping
Secures heavy castings in a tight riveted body footprint, using the fixed NBR bumper to absorb the sudden 10mm clamping impact.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X10 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, compare its 1401.5 N output at 0.5 MPa against adjacent bores. Dropping to the SDAD50 reduces capacity to 824.7 N, whereas stepping up to the SDAD80 provides 2267.8 N. This 63mm variant strikes a balance for medium-duty anti-rotation tasks requiring a 10mm stroke.
The dual-end rod resists torsional deflection, allowing you to mount a work tool on one side and a dog on the opposite end. This specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so position sensing is not supported without the -S option. Note that the fixed NBR bumper decelerates the stroke end but does not lock the piston; for load holding on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. The PT1/4 port and female M10x1.5 rod threads are set by the 63mm bore.
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 SDAD63X10 FAQ
The push and pull forces are equal because the rod occupies both chambers. It generates 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 1962.2 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 286 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The maximum operating pressure is 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the through-rod geometry allows driving a tool on one end while using the opposite side for external tracking. However, this specific model lacks a piston magnet, so internal magnetic switches cannot be used unless you select the -S variant.
