The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X75 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø63mm bore, 75mm 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.
The AirTAC SDAD63X75 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 each direction, yielding an equal push and pull force of 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric thrust is a major advantage for loads requiring consistent kinetic output regardless of travel direction.
The through-rod geometry inherently resists twisting, letting you mount a work tool on one end and a dog or switch on the opposite side. A fixed NBR bumper at each end decelerates the piston near stroke limits, operating effectively at speeds of 30-500 mm/s. This specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so position sensing is not supported without upgrading to the -S variant.

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.
| 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.
| SDAD | Compact double-acting cylinder, rod out both ends. |
|---|---|
| 63 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×75 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Built-in magnet for magnetic-switch sensing (omit = none). |
| B | Male-thread piston rods (omit = female thread). |

Drives a blade on one end while the opposite rod end mounts a dog, utilizing the 1401.5 N equal force for clean symmetric cuts without rotational twist.
Lifts roughly 71.4 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, relying on the compact riveted body to save axial depth where vertical space is tight.
Pushes a transfer cart from one end while the opposite protruding rod simultaneously triggers a mechanical latch at 75mm stroke.
When sizing this unit, consider the neighboring bores: the SDAD50 provides 824.7 N at 0.5 MPa, while the SDAD80 offers 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa. The 63mm bore sits perfectly in between, providing a safe working load of roughly 841 N (about 60% of its 1401.5 N capacity) and a vertical lift capability of approximately 71.4 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. This model features a 20mm rod diameter, a PT1/4 port, and female M10x1.5 rod-end threads on both ends.
Remember that a plain SDAD cylinder does not hold position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the piston will drift. For load-holding applications without live pressure, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The fixed NBR bumper handles end-of-stroke shock but is not an adjustable air cushion.
Quick checklist
The push and pull forces are equal because of 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 have a built-in piston magnet. To use AirTAC reed or electronic switches in the body sensor grooves, you must select the -S magnet variant of this model.
