Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X60
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X60 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø80mm bore, 60mm 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 SDAD80X60
The AirTAC SDAD80X60 is a double-acting compact cylinder featuring a through-rod that exits both ends of its riveted body. Because the rod occupies both chambers, the annular area is identical on extend and retract, delivering an equal push and pull force of 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetry is highly advantageous for manipulating loads without shifting the center of gravity.
A 25 mm piston rod at each end provides strong resistance to twisting, allowing you to mount a work tool on one side while fitting a dog or stopper on the opposite side. The PT3/8 air port feeds the 60 mm stroke, and end-of-travel deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X60 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X60 |
|---|---|
| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø80 mm |
| Stroke | 60 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 SDAD80X60 Is Used
Parallel Gripper Jaws
Drives opposing gripper jaws with equal 2267.8 N force in both directions, ensuring clamped parts remain centered without rotational drift.
Vertical Lift Stations
Lifts 115.6 kg payloads vertically using a 2:1 safety margin, leveraging the dual-end rod to mount a counter-guide on the opposite side.
Dual-End Transfer
Pushes a product from one conveyor lane while simultaneously triggering a mechanical dog on the reverse end, saving axial footprint.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X60 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 80 mm bore, stepping down to the SDAD63 yields 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas moving up to the SDAD100 provides 3524.9 N. The 80 mm bore hits a sweet spot for medium-heavy symmetrical guiding. Based on the 2267.8 N output, a safe working load is roughly 1361 N, which translates to a vertical lift capacity of about 115.6 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
This configuration has female M14x1.5 rod-end threads on both sides and lacks the S magnet option, meaning it cannot host reed or electronic switches. Remember that a standard 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, integrate 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 SDAD80X60 FAQ
The SDAD80X60 delivers an equal force of 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 3175 N at 0.7 MPa in both extend and retract directions, with a theoretical maximum of 463 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This allows a safe working load of approximately 1361 N.
Yes, the through-rod design resists twisting and allows tooling on one end with a dog or stopper on the opposite end. Note that this specific SKU lacks the S magnet, so it cannot host reed or electronic switches directly.
