Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X100
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X100 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø63mm bore, 100mm 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 SDAD63X100
The AirTAC SDAD63X100 is a compact double-acting cylinder featuring a 63 mm bore and a 100 mm stroke. Because the piston rod protrudes from both ends of the riveted body, the annular area remains identical in both chambers. This geometry ensures push force equals pull force, delivering exactly 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction. The through-rod design inherently resists twisting, providing superior stability for symmetric loads.
This model utilizes a 20 mm rod diameter and PT1/4 air ports. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper at each end, which absorbs shock but is not an adjustable air cushion. The short body profile saves axial mounting depth compared to standard round-body options. Note this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot directly host reed or electronic switches without upgrading to an -S variant.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X100 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X100 |
|---|---|
| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø63 mm |
| Stroke | 100 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 SDAD63X100 Is Used
Elevator Stage Lifting
Raises and lowers a 70 kg vertical platform smoothly. The equal push and pull force of 1401.5 N ensures stable descent without gravity-induced acceleration.
Dual-Side Transfer Mechanism
Pushes a part from one conveyor belt while simultaneously pulling a return dog on the opposite side. The through-rod prevents rotational deflection during the 100 mm traverse.
Symmetric Clamping Jig
Secures a heavy machined component from both ends simultaneously. The fixed NBR bumpers absorb the final 100 mm stroke impact without requiring external cushioning adjustments.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X100 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, consider the neighboring bores: the SDAD50 provides 824.7 N at 0.5 MPa, while the larger SDAD80 yields 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa. The 63 mm bore sits perfectly in between, offering a safe working load of roughly 841 N (about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa rating) and a vertical lift capacity near 71.4 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The dual-end rod allows mounting a tool on one side and a dog on the opposite side simultaneously.
Remember that a standard cylinder does not hold position if air pressure drops or the valve centers; the piston will drift. For load-holding requirements without live pressure, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. This configuration confirms a 63 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, female M10x1.5 rod threads, and no magnet.
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 SDAD63X100 FAQ
The double-rod design provides equal force in both directions: 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 1962.2 N at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum is 286 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet. You must select the -S option variant to use AirTAC reed or electronic switches for position sensing.
