The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X100 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø80mm bore, 100mm 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 SDAD80X100 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 2267.8 N of push and pull force at 0.5 MPa. This symmetry prevents twisting and allows you to drive a tool on one end while mounting a dog or secondary mechanism on the opposite side.
It carries a 25 mm piston rod, female M14x1.5 rod-end threads, and a PT3/8 port. The short body design saves axial mounting depth where larger profile cylinders cannot fit. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. Note this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so position sensing is not possible without the -S variant.
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X100 |
|---|---|
| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø80 mm |
| Stroke | 100 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, rod both ends |
| Port size | PT3/8 |
| Rod end thread | M14×1.5 female / M22×1.5 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.
| Pressure | Force (both directions) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2268 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3175 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 463 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.

|---|---|
| 80 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×100 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Built-in magnet for magnetic-switch sensing (omit = none). |
| B | Male-thread piston rods (omit = female thread). |
Thread: PT standard. Related SDA-family variants: SDA (single rod), SSA/STA (single acting), SDAJ (adjustable stroke), SDAT (duplex), SDAW (duplex-end).
Lifts 115.6 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin using the equal 2267.8 N bidirectional force to prevent gravity-biased drift during reversal.
Drives a precision straightening jaw while the opposing 25 mm rod resists twisting torque, maintaining strict parallelism without external guides.
Pushes a part on the primary end while a synchronizing dog rides on the opposite rod, utilizing the compact body to minimize frame depth.
When sizing this 80 mm bore, stepping down to the SDAD63 yields 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDAD100 provides 3524.9 N. This model delivers a safe working load of roughly 1361 N (about 60 percent of its 0.5 MPa rating) and can vertically lift approximately 115.6 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
The through-rod geometry provides excellent anti-rotation stability for heavy loads. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve centers; the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates near the stroke end and never acts as a lock. For load holding without live pressure, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. This configuration includes a 100 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, female rod threads, and no magnet.
Quick checklist
The push and pull forces are equal because the rod exits both ends. It generates 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa, 3175 N at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 463 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The maximum operating pressure is 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not have a piston magnet. To use AirTAC reed or electronic switches, you must select the -S option code variant. The through-rod still allows dual-end tooling and dog mounting regardless of sensing.
