Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X100S
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X100S 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 SDAD63X100S
The AirTAC SDAD63X100S 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 remains identical in either direction, yielding exactly 1401.5 N of force at 0.5 MPa on both extend and retract strokes. This symmetric output is ideal for balanced actuation tasks.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S), this unit supports AirTAC reed or electronic switches for position sensing. The 63 mm bore uses a PT1/4 port and a 20 mm piston rod. Its short body profile saves axial mounting depth, while fixed NBR bumpers decelerate the stroke ends. The 100 mm stroke falls within the 130 mm standard limit, keeping the assembly highly compact.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X100S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X100S |
|---|---|
| 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 SDAD63X100S Is Used
Symmetric Lifting Jig
Provides 1401.5 N of equal push and pull force at 0.5 MPa, ensuring stable vertical lifting and lowering of 71.4 kg payloads without twisting.
Dual-End Transfer Unit
Uses the through-rod geometry to drive a gripper on the front while a magnetic switch tracks position on the rear, optimizing machine layout.
Anti-Rotation Clamping
The double-rod construction prevents piston rotation during high-cycle clamping, maintaining precise alignment for machining operations.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X100S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, consider the neighboring bores: stepping down to the SDAD50 provides 824.7 N at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to the SDAD80 yields 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa. For the SDAD63X100S, a safe working load is approximately 841 N (about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa figure), allowing a vertical lift of roughly 71.4 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The through-rod design resists twisting and permits mounting a tool on one end and a dog on the opposite side.
This configuration includes female M10x1.5 rod-end threads and the -S magnet option. Remember that a standard cylinder does not hold position if air pressure drops or the valve centers; the piston will drift. For load holding without live pressure, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The fixed NBR bumper only decelerates near the stroke end.
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 SDAD63X100S FAQ
Because the rod exits both ends, push and pull forces are identical. It generates 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa, 1962.2 N at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 286 kgf at 1.0 MPa in both directions.
The through-rod provides equal force both ways and resists twisting. It also allows you to mount a work tool on one end and a sensing dog or switch on the opposite end. The built-in magnet works with AirTAC reed or electronic switches.
