Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X5
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X5 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø80mm bore, 5mm 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.

About the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X5
The AirTAC SDAD80X5 is a double-acting compact cylinder featuring a 5 mm stroke and an 80 mm bore. A piston rod extends from both ends of the riveted body, creating equal annular areas. This geometry yields identical push and pull forces, delivering 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction.
With a minimal 5 mm travel, this unit excels in short clamping or ejection duties. The through-rod structure inherently resists torsion, allowing a tool to mount on one side while a dog occupies the opposite end. End shock is managed solely by a fixed NBR bumper, as no adjustable air cushion is present.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X5 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X5 |
|---|---|
| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø80 mm |
| Stroke | 5 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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø80mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X5 Is Used
Precision Strip Clamping
Provides symmetric 2267.8 N hold force to secure sheet metal strips during cutting, utilizing the 5 mm stroke for rapid engagement.
Dual-End Transfer Pusher
Drives a transfer arm on one rod end while a mechanical dog triggers an external limit switch on the opposite end, leveraging the anti-rotation through-rod.
Short-Stroke Lifter
Lifts heavy pallets vertically using the equal pull force, safely handling an approximate 115.6 kg load with a 2:1 margin.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X5 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 80 mm bore, consider the SDAD63 which provides 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa, or the larger SDAD100 offering 3524.9 N. This SDAD80X5 variant lacks the S option, meaning it has no piston magnet and cannot support reed or electronic switches. It features female M14x1.5 rod-end threads on both sides and a PT3/8 port.
The through-rod design prevents twisting during high-force operations. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve centers; the fixed bumper only decelerates near the stroke end. For secure load holding without live pressure, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need equal force both directions?
- ✓ Anti-rotation / dual-end mounting?
- ✓ Space for a rod that exits both ends
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT)
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Leave clearance for the rod exiting both ends.
- check Avoid side load on either rod end.
- check Front/rear covers are riveted — do not dismantle.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X5 FAQ
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 maximum theoretical output of 463 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the through-rod extends from both sides, allowing you to drive a tool on one end and mount a dog on the other. This geometry also prevents the piston from twisting under load.
