The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X30SB 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 SDAD80X30SB is a compact double-acting cylinder featuring a through-rod that exits both ends of the riveted body. Because the rod occupies each chamber equally, the annular area remains constant, delivering 2267.8 N of force at 0.5 MPa in both extend and retract directions. This symmetric output is ideal for balanced actuation tasks.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S) for AirTAC reed or electronic switches, the unit provides reliable position feedback. The -B option specifies male M22x1.5 rod threads on both ends, allowing direct mounting of tooling. A fixed NBR bumper decelerates the stroke ends within the 30-500 mm/s speed range.

| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø80 mm |
| Stroke | 30 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.

Drives a vertical lift platform where equal 2267.8 N push and pull forces prevent binding during heavy component elevation.
Utilizes the male M22x1.5 threads on both rod ends to push a part forward while a magnetic switch tracks the exact 30 mm stroke position.
Employs the through-rod to resist twisting during precision clamping, maintaining strict alignment without external linear bearings.
When sizing this 80 mm bore model, consider the adjacent options: the smaller SDAD63 yields 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa, while the larger SDAD100 provides 3524.9 N. This SDAD80X30SB strikes a middle ground, offering a safe working load of roughly 1361 N (about 60 percent of its 0.5 MPa rating) and a vertical lift capacity of approximately 115.6 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
The through-rod geometry resists twisting and permits driving a tool on one end while mounting a dog on the opposite side. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve centers; the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates near stroke end and does not lock the load. For load holding without live pressure, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. This configuration includes the PT3/8 port, male M22x1.5 rod threads, and the piston magnet.
Quick checklist
Because the double-rod design provides equal annular area in both directions, push and pull forces are identical: 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa, 3175 N at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 463 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve centers. The fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the stroke end and does not act as a brake. For load holding, you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
