Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X100B
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X100B 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 SDAD63X100B
The AirTAC SDAD63X100B is a double-acting compact cylinder featuring a piston rod exiting both ends of its riveted body. Because the rod occupies both chambers, the annular area is identical in each direction, yielding equal push and pull forces of 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric thrust is highly advantageous for loads requiring consistent kinetic energy regardless of travel direction.
Designed to save axial mounting depth, the short body integrates a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke. This specific SKU includes male M18x1.5 threads on both 20 mm rod ends. It lacks a piston magnet, so position sensing requires the separate -S variant equipped for reed or electronic switches.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X100B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X100B |
|---|---|
| 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 SDAD63X100B Is Used
Symmetric Lift Station
Raises and lowers a 65 kg platen using the 1401.5 N equal force, relying on the male M18x1.5 rods for secure dual-end tool mounting.
Dual-Action Transfer
Pushes a cart forward and retracts a second mechanism backward simultaneously, leveraging the anti-rotation through-rod to maintain precise alignment.
Compact Form Press
Cycles a sealing head within a tight machine frame, utilizing the short riveted body to minimize axial footprint while delivering 1962.2 N at 0.7 MPa.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X100B the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, compare its 1401.5 N @0.5 MPa capacity against neighboring bores: the SDAD50 provides 824.7 N, while the SDAD80 offers 2267.8 N. Based on the 1401.5 N figure, a safe working load is approximately 841 N (60% capacity), translating to a vertical lift of roughly 71.4 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The through-rod geometry prevents twisting and permits driving a tool on one end while mounting a dog on the opposite side.
This configuration features a 63 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, and PT1/4 port. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve centers; the NBR bumper only decelerates near stroke end and does not lock the load. For secure load holding without live pressure, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
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 SDAD63X100B FAQ
The push and pull forces are equal because the rod exits both ends. 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 design resists twisting and allows you to drive a tool on one end while mounting a dog or bracket on the opposite end. Note that this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so position sensing requires the -S variant that supports reed or electronic switches.
