About the Airtac SAID100 Double Rod Cylinder SAID100BX5
The AirTAC SAID100X5 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and 5mm stroke. Because a rod exits both end covers, the effective piston area is identical in extend and retract, yielding an equal force of 3681N each way at 0.5MPa. This symmetric output is ideal for highly compact, short-stroke transfer tasks.
Equipped with SUS304 stainless steel rods (code B), this variant offers enhanced corrosion resistance for humid or washdown settings. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for mounting CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches. Note that the rear rod protrudes from the back cover, requiring extra clearance to accommodate secondary cams or position flags.

Where the Airtac SAID100 Double Rod Cylinder SAID100BX5 Is Used
Symmetric Transfer
Drives short-stroke transfer arms with identical 3681N push and pull force, ensuring balanced acceleration of light workpieces.
Anti-Rotation Slide
The twin SUS304 rods guide the load against rotation without needing external linear bearings in compact spaces.
Rear-Cam Actuation
Uses the protruding rear rod to trigger a mechanical cam or DMSE electronic sensor flag while the front end performs work.
Is the Airtac SAID100 Double Rod Cylinder SAID100BX5 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 100mm bore over the SAID63X5 (1402N at 0.5MPa) when your short-stroke transfer mechanism needs higher symmetric force, or step down if 3681N exceeds your frame capacity. A twin-rod design is selected over a single-rod SAI when the application demands dual-side guidance, anti-rotation stability, or rear-rod position sensing. For this 5mm stroke, side-load bending is minimal, but external guides are recommended if the load is heavy. Remember that a plain SAID does not hold its load without live air pressure; if position holding is required when air is exhausted, consider a SAIL or BSAID variant. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SAID100 Double Rod Cylinder SAID100BX5 FAQ
