Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X10S
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X10S 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 SDAD63X10S
The AirTAC SDAD63X10S is a compact double-acting cylinder featuring a 20mm piston rod exiting both ends of its riveted body. Because the rod occupies both chambers, the annular area remains identical in either direction, yielding an equal push and pull force of 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for driving balanced loads without skewing.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S), this unit supports AirTAC reed or electronic switches directly in the body grooves. The short 10mm stroke and compact footprint save axial mounting depth, while end-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X10S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X10S |
|---|---|
| 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 SDAD63X10S Is Used
Symmetric Lift Station
Uses the equal 1401.5 N bi-directional force to raise and lower a 71.4 kg platen smoothly without rotational torque affecting the guide rails.
Dual-End Transfer Mechanism
Mounts a gripper on the front rod and a magnetic dog on the rear to trigger an electronic switch, capitalizing on the 10mm short stroke for rapid cycling.
Anti-Rotation Clamping Jig
Exploits the 20mm through-rod geometry to resist twisting during a high-torque metal stamping operation, maintaining precise clamp alignment.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X10S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 63mm bore, compare its 1401.5 N output at 0.5 MPa against adjacent models: the SDAD50 provides 824.7 N, and the SDAD80 offers 2267.8 N. Based on the 1401.5 N figure, the safe working load is roughly 841 N (about 60 percent capacity), translating to a vertical lift capability of approximately 71.4 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The through-rod design resists twisting and permits mounting a tool on one end with a positioning dog on the opposite side.
This configuration specifies a 10mm stroke, a PT1/4 port, and female M10x1.5 rod-end threads on both sides. Remember that a standard cylinder drifts when air is removed or the valve centers, as the NBR bumper only decelerates near the stroke end and acts as neither a lock nor a brake. For load holding without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or a 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 SDAD63X10S 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 through-rod design allows you to drive a tool on one end while mounting a dog on the other. The included -S magnet works with AirTAC reed or electronic switches fitted into the body grooves to track position.
