Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X130B
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X130B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø63mm bore, 130mm 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 SDAD63X130B
The AirTAC SDAD63X130B 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 is identical in both directions, yielding an equal push and pull force of 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric output is highly advantageous for loads requiring consistent actuation speed and energy regardless of travel direction.
This specific configuration includes male M18x1.5 piston rod threads on both ends and a 130 mm stroke, which exceeds the 120 mm standard maximum, making it a nonstandard stroke variant. The through-rod geometry inherently resists mechanical twisting, allowing you to mount a work tool on one end and a dog or switch on the opposite end simultaneously. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by fixed NBR bumpers rather than adjustable air cushions.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X130B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X130B |
|---|---|
| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø63 mm |
| Stroke | 130 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 SDAD63X130B Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Gate
Drives a dual-sided gating mechanism where the 1401.5 N equal force ensures smooth, balanced material routing without twisting during transit.
Vertical Lift Platform
Raises a 71.4 kg fixture using the male M18x1.5 threads, relying on the through-rod to prevent platform rotation during the 130 mm travel.
Dual-End Pinning Station
Actuates a pinning tool on one rod end while using the opposite protruding end to trigger a mechanical dog, maximizing the compact body footprint.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X130B the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, consider the neighboring bores: stepping down to the SDAD50 provides 824.7 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDAD80 yields 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa. Based on the 1401.5 N output at 0.5 MPa, the computed safe working load is approximately 841 N (60% capacity), translating to a vertical lift capability of roughly 71.4 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. This model features a 63 mm bore, PT1/4 air port, and male M18x1.5 rod threads on both sides.
The through-rod design prevents rotation and enables dual-end mounting, but a plain cylinder cannot hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered—the piston will drift. For load-holding applications without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Note that this SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot support magnetic switches; choose the -S option if reed or electronic sensing is required.
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 SDAD63X130B FAQ
The force is equal in both directions due to the double-rod design. 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.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet, so it cannot support reed or electronic switches. You would need to select the -S variant to enable magnetic sensing. However, you can still mount a mechanical dog on the opposite rod end for external position detection.
