The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD63X80S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø63mm bore, 80mm 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 SDAD63X80S 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, delivering an equal push and pull force of 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetry is highly advantageous for loads requiring consistent kinetic behavior without sudden acceleration changes.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S), this unit supports AirTAC reed or electronic switches for position sensing. The 63 mm bore utilizes a 20 mm rod and a PT1/4 port, operating at speeds between 30-500 mm/s. End-of-stroke energy is managed solely by a fixed NBR bumper, which decelerates the piston rather than acting as a lock or adjustable air cushion.

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.

Drives dual-action gating where the 1401.5 N equal force ensures smooth, balanced material routing without twist, utilizing the 80 mm stroke for rapid open-close cycles.
Lifts loads up to 71.4 kg with a 2:1 margin, using the through-rod to maintain anti-rotation stability while mounting a secondary guide on the opposing end.
Actuates a forming tool on one rod end while a solid-state switch tracks the opposite end, leveraging the fixed NBR bumper to absorb the 30-500 mm/s stroke impact.
When sizing this model, compare it with neighboring bores: the SDAD50 provides 824.7 N at 0.5 MPa, while the larger SDAD80 yields 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa. Based on the 1401.5 N output at 0.5 MPa, the safe working load is approximately 841 N (60% capacity), translating to a vertical lift capability of roughly 71.4 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
The through-rod design resists twisting and allows mounting a tool on one end and a sensor dog on the opposite side. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts if air pressure is lost or the valve centers; utilize an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for strict load holding. This configuration includes the -S magnet and standard female M10x1.5 rod-end threads on both ends.
Quick checklist
The push and pull forces are equal at 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 maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa and proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
Yes, the through-rod resists rotation and allows you to drive a tool on one end while mounting a dog for a reed or electronic switch on the other. The -S magnet enables this position sensing.
