Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X15
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X15 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø63mm bore, 15mm 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 SDAD63X15
The AirTAC SDAD63X15 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 on extend and retract, yielding exactly 1401.5 N of push and pull force at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric output is a major advantage for loads requiring consistent drive in both directions.
Designed to save axial mounting depth, the short body incorporates a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke. The 20 mm piston rod uses an M10x1.5 female thread at both ends, and the PT1/4 port handles high flow. With a 15 mm stroke, this unit excels in tight spaces where twisting must be resisted without external guides.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X15 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X15 |
|---|---|
| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø63 mm |
| Stroke | 15 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 SDAD63X15 Is Used
Precision Edge Guiding
Uses the equal 1401.5 N force in both directions to push and pull a web edge guide, maintaining perfect material tracking without rotational deflection.
Short-Stroke Lift Station
Lifts 71.4 kg of stacked components vertically through 15 mm, leveraging the dual-end rod to mount a secondary mechanical stop on the opposite side.
Symmetric Clamping Jig
Drives a clamping mechanism where the 63 mm bore provides 1962.2 N at 0.7 MPa, ensuring identical clamping and release pressure on delicate workpieces.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X15 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this model, consider the neighboring bores: stepping down to the SDAD50 provides 824.7 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDAD80 offers 2267.8 N. The SDAD63X15 provides a safe working load of roughly 841 N (about 60% of its 0.5 MPa rating) and a vertical lift capacity of 71.4 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The through-rod geometry prevents rotation, allowing you to mount a tool on one end and a dog on the opposite side.
This specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot host reed or electronic switches; select the -S variant if sensing is required. Remember that the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates near stroke end and does not act as a lock. If your application requires load holding during air loss or valve centering, you must integrate 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 SDAD63X15 FAQ
The SDAD63X15 generates equal force in both directions due to its double-rod design: 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 have a built-in piston magnet, so it cannot accommodate reed or electronic switches. You would need to select the SDAD63X15S variant to enable magnetic position sensing.
