Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X45
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X45 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø63mm bore, 45mm 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 SDAD63X45
The AirTAC SDAD63X45 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, yielding an equal push and pull force of 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for balanced actuation tasks.
A 20 mm piston rod resists mechanical twisting during operation. The short body design minimizes axial mounting depth compared to standard round-body units. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper, and the PT1/4 port manages air supply for the 45 mm travel.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X45 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X45 |
|---|---|
| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø63 mm |
| Stroke | 45 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 SDAD63X45 Is Used
Balanced Lift Stations
Lifts platens with 1401.5 N of equal thrust in both directions, preventing sagging on the return stroke.
Dual-End Transfer
Drives a pusher on the front rod while the rear rod mounts a physical dog for external mechanical tracking.
Anti-Rotation Guides
Uses the 20 mm through-rod to resist twisting forces during the 45 mm travel of precision clamping jaws.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X45 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, consider the neighbouring bores: the SDAD50 provides 824.7 N at 0.5 MPa, while the larger SDAD80 offers 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa. This 63 mm bore strikes a middle ground, providing 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 allows mounting a tool on one end and a dog on the opposite end simultaneously. Note that this SKU lacks a piston magnet, so position sensing is not possible without the -S variant. Furthermore, the unit does not hold position on air loss; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding. This configuration features female M10x1.5 rod-end threads.
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 SDAD63X45 FAQ
The double-rod design provides equal force in both directions: 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.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet. You must select the -S option to enable reed or electronic switch sensing in the body grooves.
