Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X60S
The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X60S 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 SDAD80X60S
The AirTAC SDAD80X60S is a compact double-acting cylinder featuring a 25 mm through-rod exiting both ends of its riveted body. Because the rod occupies both chambers, the annular area is identical in each direction, yielding exactly 2267.8 N of force at 0.5 MPa on both extend and retract strokes. This symmetry is ideal for driving loads that require balanced push and pull mechanics.
The integrated piston magnet supports AirTAC reed or electronic switches for position sensing, while the fixed NBR bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock. Operating at speeds from 30-500 mm/s, this 80 mm bore unit provides a safe working load of roughly 1361 N, which translates to a vertical lift capacity of about 115.6 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X60S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X60S |
|---|---|
| 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 SDAD80X60S Is Used
Symmetric Lift Platforms
Drives elevated platforms requiring identical push and pull forces, using the 2267.8 N bidirectional output to raise and lower heavy jigs smoothly without twist.
Twin-End Machining Jigs
Mounts a clamping fixture on one rod end and a travel dog on the opposite end, leveraging the anti-rotation through-rod to keep parts aligned during milling.
Dual-Action Transfer Gates
Diverts packages from either side of a belt using the double-rod design, maintaining equal 3175 N force at 0.7 MPa for precise routing in tight riveted-body footprints.
Is the Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X60S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this model, compare its 2267.8 N output at 0.5 MPa against adjacent bores: stepping down to the SDAD63 yields 1401.5 N, while moving up to the SDAD100 provides 3524.9 N. This 80 mm variant includes the -S magnet for switch readiness and features a female M14x1.5 rod-end thread on both ends, supplied by a PT3/8 port.
The through-rod geometry prevents twisting and permits mounting a tool on one end with a position dog on the opposite side. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve centres; the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke end. For secure load holding without live pressure, install an external rod lock or a 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 SDAD80X60S FAQ
Because the double rod creates equal annular areas, force is identical in both directions: 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa, 3175 N at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 463 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the through-rod protrudes from both ends to resist twisting, allowing you to drive a tool on one side while mounting a dog for an AirTAC reed or electronic switch on the opposite end.
