Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X5SB
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X5SB 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 SDAD80X5SB
The AirTAC SDAD80X5SB is a compact double-acting cylinder featuring a 5 mm stroke and an 80 mm bore. Because the piston rod exits both ends, the annular area remains identical in both chambers, yielding exactly 2267.8 N of force at 0.5 MPa on both extend and retract. This symmetric output is ideal for high-cycle clamping or short-pitch indexing where load balance is critical.
The short riveted body drastically reduces axial mounting depth compared to standard round-body units, fitting into tight machine frames. A built-in piston magnet enables position sensing via AirTAC reed or electronic switches. The male M22x1.5 rod threads on both ends allow direct mounting of tooling or clevises without adapters, while the fixed NBR bumper absorbs end-of-stroke shock.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X5SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X5SB |
|---|---|
| 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 SDAD80X5SB Is Used
Short-Stroke Gripping
Leverages the 5 mm stroke and equal 2267.8 N force to securely clamp heavy billets during CNC machining without rotational deflection.
Symmetric Sealing Press
Uses the dual-end male M22x1.5 rods to pinch form gaskets, ensuring perfectly balanced pressure distribution across the part.
Anti-Twist Alignment
Employs the through-rod design to push a heavy carriage precisely 5 mm, preventing yaw while a secondary sensor reads the opposite end.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X5SB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, consider the neighboring bores: stepping down to the SDAD63 provides 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas moving up to the SDAD100 yields 3524.9 N. For the SDAD80X5SB, the 2267.8 N output translates to a safe working load of roughly 1361 N (about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa figure) and a vertical lift capacity near 115.6 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. This specific configuration includes the -S magnet for switch sensing and the -B male M22x1.5 rod threads on both ends, supplied with PT3/8 ports.
The through-rod geometry inherently resists twisting, allowing you to drive a tool on one end while mounting a dog or switch on the opposite side. Remember that a plain cylinder does not hold position if air pressure drops or the valve centers; the piston will drift. For load holding without live pressure, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve, as the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the stroke end and acts as neither a lock nor a brake.
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 SDAD80X5SB FAQ
The force is identical in both directions due to the double-rod design: 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 operating pressure range is 0.15 to 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the through-rod exits both ends, allowing you to attach tooling to the male M22x1.5 thread on one side while mounting a dog for a reed or electronic switch on the opposite side. The built-in magnet enables this dual-end functionality.
