The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X45S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø80mm bore, 45mm 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 SDAD80X45S is a double-acting compact cylinder featuring a 25 mm piston rod exiting both ends of its riveted body. Because the rod occupies both chambers, the annular area is identical in either direction, yielding exactly 2267.8 N of push and pull force at 0.5 MPa. This symmetry prevents asymmetric loading on your tooling.
A 45 mm stroke operates within the 130 mm standard limit, while the PT3/8 port supplies ample flow for the 30-500 mm/s speed range. The built-in magnet (-S) pairs directly with AirTAC reed or electronic switches in the body grooves. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper, which absorbs shock but is not an adjustable air cushion.

| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |

| Speed range | 30 – 500 mm/s |
| Cushion | Fixed NBR bumper (both ends) |

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.

| S | Built-in magnet for magnetic-switch sensing (omit = none). |

Lifts 115.6 kg vertical loads safely with a 2:1 margin, using the equal 2267.8 N bidirectional force to prevent sagging on the return stroke.
Drives a cutter on the front rod while the rear rod operates a sync_alt dog for an electronic switch, leveraging the anti-twist through-rod geometry.
Clamps heavy castings securely using 3175 N of force at 0.7 MPa, fitting into tight machine frames thanks to the short riveted body.
When sizing this 80 mm bore, stepping down to the SDAD63 provides 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas moving up to the SDAD100 yields 3524.9 N. At 0.5 MPa, this model offers a safe working load around 1361 N (roughly 60 percent of capacity) and can vertically lift about 115.6 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
The through-rod geometry prevents twisting and allows driving a tool on one end while mounting a dog on the opposite side. Remember that a standard cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve centers; the NBR bumper only decelerates near stroke end and will not hold the load. For secure positioning, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. This configuration includes the S magnet and female M14x1.5 rod threads.
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.
Yes, the through-rod design resists rotation and allows dual-end mounting. You can attach a tool to the female M14x1.5 thread on one side and a dog on the opposite side. The built-in S magnet triggers AirTAC reed or electronic switches housed in the body grooves.
