The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X100S 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 SDAD80X100S is a double-acting compact cylinder featuring a 25 mm piston rod exiting both ends of its riveted body. Because the rod occupies each chamber, the annular area matches on extend and retract, giving identical push and pull forces of 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric output is ideal for driving heavy loads without directional force mismatch.
The through-rod geometry inherently resists twisting, allowing you to mount a tool on one end and a dog or switch on the opposite side. Equipped with a built-in magnet, this unit supports AirTAC reed or electronic sensors. The short body minimizes axial footprint, while fixed NBR bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock across the 30-500 mm/s speed range.
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X100S |
|---|---|
| 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.
| SDAD | Compact double-acting cylinder, rod out both ends. |
|---|---|
| 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).
The anti-rotation through-rod keeps heavy grinding jigs perfectly aligned, utilizing the equal 2267.8 N force to maintain rigid clamping pressure on both extend and retract strokes.
Ideal for elevating 115.6 kg payloads vertically, where the dual-end rod allows a dog to trigger an electronic switch on the back side while the front drives the lift mechanism.
Ejects molded parts with consistent force both directions, while the compact riveted body fits into tight machinery frames without requiring excessive axial mounting depth.
When sizing this 80 mm bore, stepping down to the SDAD63 yields 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas moving up to the SDAD100 provides 3524.9 N. This model provides a safe working load of roughly 1361 N, translating to a vertical lift capacity of about 115.6 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The dual-end rod prevents rotation, enabling precise dual-end tooling or sensor mounting.
This configuration includes the S option for position sensing and female M14x1.5 rod threads on both ends, supplied with PT3/8 ports. Remember that a standard cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve centers, as the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end; add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for strict load holding.
Quick checklist
Because the double-rod design creates equal annular areas, the push and pull forces are identical: 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa, 3175 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical output of 463 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet compatible with AirTAC reed or electronic switches. Note that it does not hold load on air loss; the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates near stroke end, so use an external rod lock for load holding.
