Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X5S
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X5S 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 SDAD80X5S
The AirTAC SDAD80X5S is a compact double-acting cylinder featuring a through-rod that exits both ends of the riveted body. Because the rod occupies both chambers, the annular area is identical in each direction, delivering an equal push and pull force of 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric thrust is perfect for balancing loads that move back and forth.
The integrated piston magnet (-S) supports AirTAC reed or electronic switches for end-position sensing. With a short 5mm stroke, the fixed NBR bumpers absorb the end-of-travel shock. The rigid through-rod inherently resists twisting, allowing you to mount a work tool on one side and a position dog on the opposite end simultaneously.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X5S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X5S |
|---|---|
| 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 SDAD80X5S Is Used
Short-Stroke Clamping
Provides 2267.8 N of equal clamping force in both directions to secure heavy castings without rotational drift.
Symmetric Lifting Jig
Lifts approximately 115.6 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, using the dual-end rod to mount a guide and a sensor dog simultaneously.
Anti-Twist Pressing
Presses bearings with a 5mm stroke while the through-rod geometry prevents piston rotation during the brief impact.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X5S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this model, compare it with its neighbours: the SDAD63 provides 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa, while the larger SDAD100 yields 3524.9 N. The SDAD80X5S sits comfortably in the middle, 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.
This configuration includes an 80mm bore, a 5mm stroke, a PT3/8 port, and female M14x1.5 rod-end threads. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centred; the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke end and does not lock the load. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding.
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 SDAD80X5S FAQ
The force is equal in both directions due to the double-rod design. 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 exits both ends, allowing you to drive a tool on one side while mounting a position dog on the other. The built-in magnet (-S) works with AirTAC reed or electronic switches for reliable sensing.
