Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X100SB
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X100SB 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 SDAD63X100SB
The AirTAC SDAD63X100SB is a double-acting compact 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 an equal push and pull force of 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric thrust is essential for driving loads without inducing uneven wear.
This specific configuration includes a built-in magnet for position sensing and male M18x1.5 threads on both 20 mm rod ends. The short body design minimizes axial footprint compared to traditional round-body units. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper, which absorbs shock but is not an adjustable air cushion.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X100SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X100SB |
|---|---|
| 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 SDAD63X100SB Is Used
Elevator Stage Lifting
Raises and lowers a 71.4 kg vertical platform using the 1401.5 N bidirectional thrust, relying on the through-rod to prevent platform twist during transit.
Dual-End Transfer Shuttle
Pushes a workpiece from one belt to another using a male M18x1.5 rod tool, while a dog on the opposite end trips a reed or electronic switch to confirm completion.
Symmetric Carton Sealing
Applies equal 1962.2 N clamping pressure at 0.7 MPa on both extend and retract strokes to fold and seal corrugated cartons without skewing the flaps.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X100SB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, consider the neighboring bores: the SDAD50 provides 824.7 N at 0.5 MPa, while the SDAD80 offers 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa. The 63 mm bore strikes a balance, yielding a safe working load of roughly 841 N (about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa figure) and a vertical lift capacity near 71.4 kg with a 2:1 margin. The through-rod geometry prevents twisting and permits mounting a tool on one end with a dog on the opposite side.
This model has a 100 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and male M18x1.5 rod threads. Note that a standard cylinder drifts when air is removed or the valve centers; the NBR bumper only decelerates near the stroke end and does not lock the load. For vertical 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 SDAD63X100SB FAQ
The push and pull forces are equal because the rod exits both ends. 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. The maximum operating pressure is 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the double-rod design resists rotation and allows you to drive a tool on one male M18x1.5 end while mounting a dog on the opposite end. The built-in magnet works with AirTAC reed or electronic switches to track position.
