The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X75SB 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 SDAD63X75SB is a compact double-acting cylinder featuring a through-rod that exits both ends of the riveted body. Because the piston rod occupies both chambers, the annular area is identical in each direction, giving you exactly 1401.5 N of push and pull force at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for balancing loads that require consistent resistance regardless of travel direction.
This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet for AirTAC reed or electronic switches, along with male M18x1.5 threads on both 20 mm rod ends. The short body design drastically reduces required mounting depth compared to standard round-body options. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper, which absorbs shock but is not an adjustable air cushion.

| 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) |

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.

| ×75 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Built-in magnet for magnetic-switch sensing (omit = none). |

Thread: PT standard. Related SDA-family variants: SDA (single rod), SSA/STA (single acting), SDAJ (adjustable stroke), SDAT (duplex), SDAW (duplex-end).
Uses the equal 1401.5 N bidirectional force to clamp components securely from both sides without shifting the load center.
Mounts a lifting jaw on one male M18x1.5 rod end and a position dog on the other to trigger a reed switch mid-stroke.
Exploits the twin 20 mm through-rod to resist twisting torque during precision feeding tasks within a tight 75 mm stroke.
When sizing this unit, compare its 1401.5 N @0.5 MPa capacity against adjacent bores: the SDAD50 provides 824.7 N, while the SDAD80 offers 2267.8 N. For this 63 mm bore, a safe working load is approximately 841 N (about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa figure), translating to a vertical lift capacity of roughly 71.4 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The through-rod geometry prevents twisting and allows you to mount a tool on one end while tracking position with a switch on the opposite side.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve centers, as the NBR bumper only decelerates near the stroke end and acts as no lock. For load-holding requirements without live pressure, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. This model features a 75 mm stroke, a PT1/4 port, the -S magnet, and male M18x1.5 rod threads.
Quick checklist
The push and pull forces are equal because the rod exits both ends. 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.
Yes, the through-rod design allows driving a tool on one end while mounting a dog or switch on the opposite end. This unit has male M18x1.5 threads on both rod ends and includes the -S magnet for use with AirTAC reed or electronic switches.
