The AirTAC Airtac SDAD Double Rod Slim Cylinder SDAD80X90S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends (Ø80mm bore, 90mm 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 SDAD80X90S is a compact double-acting cylinder featuring a 25 mm piston rod exiting both ends of its riveted body. Because the rod occupies both chambers, the annular area remains identical in either direction, yielding an equal push and pull force of 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for driving loads that require consistent resistance without twisting.
Designed to save axial mounting depth, the short footprint accommodates tight machinery where standard actuators fail to fit. The unit incorporates a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, operating effectively across a 30-500 mm/s speed range. Equipped with a built-in magnet, it supports AirTAC reed or electronic switches for precise end-position detection.

| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |

| Speed range | 30 – 500 mm/s |
| Cushion | Fixed NBR bumper (both ends) |

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.

Thread: PT standard. Related SDA-family variants: SDA (single rod), SSA/STA (single acting), SDAJ (adjustable stroke), SDAT (duplex), SDAW (duplex-end).
Drives vertical lifting platforms requiring 2267.8 N of equal force in both directions, ensuring stable ascent and descent without load twisting.
Uses the through-rod anti-rotation feature to mount a gripper on one end and a position dog on the other for synchronized part handling.
Fits into compact press machinery where the 90 mm stroke and fixed NBR bumpers absorb the end-of-stroke shock during repetitive metal joining.
When sizing this 80 mm bore actuator, compare its 2267.8 N output at 0.5 MPa against adjacent models. Stepping down to the SDAD63 provides 1401.5 N, whereas the larger SDAD100 offers 3524.9 N. A practical safe working load is approximately 1361 N, allowing a vertical lift of roughly 115.6 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. This specific configuration includes the S option for magnetic sensing and standard female M14x1.5 rod-end threads on both sides.
The through-rod geometry prevents rotation and permits mounting a tool on one end while fitting a dog on the opposite side. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve centers, as the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end rather than locking the load. For secure load holding without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
The force is identical in both directions due to 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.
Yes, the through-rod resists twisting and allows you to drive a tool on one end while mounting a dog on the opposite end. The included S magnet enables tracking with AirTAC reed or electronic switches via the body sensor grooves.
