The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X65 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø80mm bore, 65mm 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.
The AirTAC SDAD80X65 is a compact double-acting cylinder featuring a through-rod that exits both ends of the riveted body. Because the piston rod occupies each chamber equally, the annular area remains constant, delivering an identical push and pull force of 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric output is highly advantageous for manipulating heavy loads without directional force mismatch.
Equipped with a 25 mm rod and a PT3/8 air port, this unit provides substantial thrust in a minimal axial footprint. The integrated fixed NBR bumper decelerates the piston near stroke extremes, while the through-rod geometry inherently resists twisting, allowing you to drive a tool on one end and mount a dog on the opposite side.

| Series | SDAD compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø80 mm |
| Stroke | 65 mm |

| 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.
| 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.
| SDAD | Compact double-acting cylinder, rod out both ends. |
|---|---|
| 80 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×65 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Built-in magnet for magnetic-switch sensing (omit = none). |
| B | Male-thread piston rods (omit = female thread). |
Thread: PT standard. Related SDA-family variants: SDA (single rod), SSA/STA (single acting), SDAJ (adjustable stroke), SDAT (duplex), SDAW (duplex-end).
Lifts heavy platens vertically where the equal 2267.8 N bidirectional force prevents sagging on the return stroke.
Drives a pusher on one rod tip while the opposite tip triggers a mechanical dog, leveraging the anti-rotation through-rod.
Applies steady clamping pressure from a short riveted body that fits into densely packed assembly machinery.
When sizing this 80 mm bore unit, consider the SDAD63 which yields 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the SDAD100 providing 3524.9 N at 0.5 MPa. This SDAD80X65 configuration specifies a 65 mm stroke, female M14x1.5 rod-end threads, and no piston magnet, meaning magnetic switches cannot be fitted.
Remember that a standard cylinder does not hold position upon air loss or valve centering; the piston drifts. For secure vertical load holding, integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. The fixed NBR bumper absorbs end shocks but is not an adjustable cushion or braking mechanism.
Quick checklist
The force is equal 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 max of 463 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The maximum operating pressure is 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the through-rod extends from both ends, resisting twist and allowing you to mount a tool on one side and a dog or fixture on the other. Note this specific SKU lacks the S magnet option, so it cannot support magnetic switches.
