The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X30 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø80mm bore, 30mm 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 SDAD80X30 is a compact double-acting cylinder featuring a 25 mm piston rod exiting both ends of its riveted body. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular areas match, delivering an identical push and pull force of 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetry prevents twisting during traversal and allows you to drive a tool on one end while mounting a dog on the opposite side.
Operating via a PT3/8 port, this unit travels a 30 mm stroke at speeds between 30 and 500 mm/s. End shock is managed strictly by a fixed NBR bumper that decelerates the piston near stroke limits. The short body design drastically reduces axial mounting depth compared to conventional round-body units, fitting into tight machine frames.

| 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.

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 safety margin using its equal 2267.8 N bidirectional force, preventing sag on the return stroke.
Drives a precision straightener jig while the opposing rod end mounts a mechanical dog, leveraging the through-rod to resist twist.
Fits into shallow press frames thanks to the short riveted body, applying 3175 N at 0.7 MPa for seating bearings without requiring deep axial clearance.
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 SDAD80X30 strikes a middle ground with 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa, offering a safe working load of roughly 1361 N for a 2:1 margin, or a vertical lift capacity of about 115.6 kg. The through-rod geometry ensures high torsional resistance for guided lifts.
This specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, meaning it cannot support reed or electronic switches; choose the -S variant if position sensing is required. The female M14x1.5 rod-end threads accommodate standard mounts. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve centers—the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding.
Quick checklist
The double-rod design provides equal force in both directions: 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa, 3175 N at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 463 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the through-rod resists rotation and allows dual-end mounting. However, this specific SKU has no magnet; you must select the -S option to use reed or electronic switches for position feedback.
