Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X60SB
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X60SB 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 SDAD63X60SB
The AirTAC SDAD63X60SB is a double-acting, double-rod compact cylinder featuring a 63 mm bore and 60 mm stroke. Because the piston rod exits both ends, the annular area remains identical in both chambers, yielding an equal push and pull force of 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric output is ideal for driving loads that require consistent kinetic energy in both directions.
Equipped with male M18x1.5 threaded rods on both ends, this unit allows direct mechanical mounting on opposing sides. The riveted body minimizes axial footprint compared to standard round-body options, while the integrated piston magnet supports reed or electronic switches for position detection. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X60SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X60SB |
|---|---|
| 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 SDAD63X60SB Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Unit
Drives a dual-sided pick-and-place carriage where the equal 1401.5 N extend and retract forces prevent load biasing during high-speed part transfer.
Anti-Rotation Guide Block
Uses the through-rod geometry to resist twisting on a 60 mm stroke precision gauging station, maintaining alignment without external linear rails.
Dual-End Lift Fixture
Mounts a lifting lug on the male M18x1.5 rod end while a position dog rides the opposite end to trigger a reed switch at mid-stroke.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X60SB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 63 mm bore actuator, compare its 1401.5 N output at 0.5 MPa with neighboring models. Stepping down, the SDAD50 provides 824.7 N, whereas stepping up to the SDAD80 yields 2267.8 N. Based on the 1401.5 N figure, a safe working load is approximately 841 N (about 60 percent capacity), translating to a vertical lift capability of roughly 71.4 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
The through-rod design inherently resists twisting and permits mounting a tool on one end with a dog or switch on the opposite end. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve centers, as the fixed bumper only decelerates near the stroke end; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding. This configuration includes the S magnet for sensing and B code male M18x1.5 rod threads, operating via a PT1/4 port.
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 SDAD63X60SB FAQ
The double-rod design provides equal force in both directions: 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 1962.2 N at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum is 286 kgf at 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
No, the piston will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the stroke near the end points and does not act as a brake. For load holding, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
