Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X60
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X60 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø63mm bore, 60mm 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 SDAD63X60
The AirTAC SDAD63X60 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 exactly 1401.5 N of force at 0.5 MPa on both extend and retract. This symmetry is vital for applications requiring consistent push and pull dynamics.
The 20 mm diameter rod resists twisting during operation and allows tooling or a dog to mount on the opposite end. With a 60 mm stroke and a PT1/4 port, this unit fits into tight axial spaces. It reaches speeds of 30-500 mm/s and relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston near stroke completion.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X60 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X60 |
|---|---|
| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø63 mm |
| Stroke | 60 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 SDAD63X60 Is Used
Web Guiding Mechanism
Uses the dual-end through-rod to mount a guide roller on one side and a tension flag on the other, relying on the 1401.5 N equal force to prevent twisting during material tracking.
Symmetric Lift Station
Drives a 71.4 kg vertical lift platform where identical extend and retract forces are required to prevent jerky movements when changing direction at 0.5 MPa.
Double-End Transfer Jig
Mounts a pusher on one rod end and a counterweight on the opposite end, taking advantage of the compact riveted body to fit within a 60 mm stroke envelope.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X60 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 63 mm bore model, consider the SDAD50 which provides 824.7 N at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the SDAD80 yielding 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa. The SDAD63X60 provides a safe working load of roughly 841 N, which is about 60 percent of its 0.5 MPa rating, and can vertically lift approximately 71.4 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
This SKU lacks the S magnet option, meaning it cannot accept reed or electronic switches. The rod ends feature female M10x1.5 threads. Note that the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the stroke end; it does not hold the load. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding.
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 SDAD63X60 FAQ
The force is equal in both directions due to the double-rod design. It provides 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 resists rotation and allows you to drive a tool on one end while mounting a dog or secondary tool on the opposite end. Note that this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot be used with magnetic switches.
