Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X60B
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X60B 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 SDAD80X60B
The AirTAC SDAD80X60B is a double-acting compact cylinder featuring a piston rod extending from both ends of its riveted body. Because the rod occupies each chamber equally, the annular area remains identical in both directions, yielding an equal push and pull force of 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for balanced load manipulation. The through-rod geometry inherently resists mechanical twisting, allowing you to mount a work tool on one end while using the opposite side for a dog or secondary mechanism.
This specific SKU includes male M22x1.5 threaded rods on both ends and a 60 mm stroke. It relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, operating effectively within a 30-500 mm/s speed range. Note that this unit lacks a piston magnet, so position sensing is not supported without switching to the -S variant.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X60B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X60B |
|---|---|
| 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 SDAD80X60B Is Used
Symmetric Lifting Jig
Drives a vertical lift platform where equal 2267.8 N force on both extend and retract strokes prevents binding in the guide rails.
Dual-End Transfer Unit
Mounts a gripper on the front male M22x1.5 rod end while the rear rod pushes a dummy dog to trip a mechanical limit switch.
Anti-Twist Clamp
Secures heavy stamping blanks without rotational drift, leveraging the through-rod geometry to maintain precise clamping alignment.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X60B the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this model, consider the neighboring bores: the SDAD63 provides 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa, while the SDAD100 offers 3524.9 N. The 80 mm bore hits a middle ground, providing a safe working load of roughly 1361 N (about 60% of its 0.5 MPa rating) and a vertical lift capacity of approximately 115.6 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The dual male M22x1.5 rod ends require appropriate clearance on both sides of the assembly.
Remember that a standard cylinder does not hold position if air pressure drops or the valve centers; the piston will drift. For load-holding applications, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. This configuration uses a PT3/8 port and fixed NBR bumpers rather than adjustable air cushions.
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 SDAD80X60B FAQ
The push and pull forces are equal because of 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.
No, this specific SKU does not have a built-in piston magnet, so it cannot accept reed or electronic switches. You would need the SDAD80X60BS variant to enable magnetic position sensing.
