About the AirTAC SDAD16
The AirTAC SDAD16 is a double-rod, double-acting thin compact cylinder with a 16 mm bore and a 6 mm piston rod. The rod runs through both end covers, so push and pull are equal: 86 N at 0.5 MPa and 121 N at 0.7 MPa. Force depends on bore and pressure only, so every stroke on this page gives the same output.
All SDAD16 versions share M5 air ports, an M3×0.5 female rod thread (B versions have a M5×0.8 male rod end) and rubber bumpers at both ends. The cylinder runs on filtered air between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa (proof 1.5 MPa), from -20 to +70 °C, at 30 to 500 mm/s. This page lists 49 stock order codes with strokes from 5 to 80 mm; catalog standard strokes run up to 130 mm.

| Catalog standard stroke | up to 130 mm (longer on request) |
| Acting type | Double acting, double rod |
| Port size | M5 |
| Piston rod / rod thread | Ø6 mm / M3×0.5 female; M5×0.8 male (B) |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40 µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |

Theoretical output force (Ø16 mm)
| Pressure | Push | Pull |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 86 N | 86 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 121 N | 121 N |
Both directions act on the bore area minus the Ø6 mm rod area, because the rod passes through both end covers. Usable force is lower because of friction and back-pressure.

Where the SDAD16 Is Used
Pick-and-place and transfer
About 86 N at 0.5 MPa suits pushers, stoppers and transfer slides.
Packaging machines
Carton pushers, gates and diverters on packaging lines.
Sensed positioning
Magnet versions report stroke ends to the PLC through cylinder sensors.
Choosing the Right SDAD16 Configuration
Start with the stroke. Pick the exact travel your machine needs; a longer stroke adds length, weight and air consumption without adding force. If your length is not listed, request a quote and we will confirm whether it can be built.
Every code on this page is the basic version without a mounting code: the cylinder is fixed through its own mounting holes.
Finally pick the version: S adds a magnet for position sensors; B gives a male threaded rod end instead of the standard female thread.
