Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X10
The AirTAC SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X10 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 10mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its hard-anodized aluminum-profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore, and it shares SC-series mounting accessories.

About the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X10
The AirTAC SAUD100X10 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 25 mm rod exits both ends of the hard-anodized extruded aluminum barrel, meaning both faces use the rod-side piston area. This yields exactly 3681 N of thrust and pull at 0.5 MPa. The unit is noticeably shorter than an ISO 15552 unit of the same bore.
Because the second rod protrudes from the back, you can mount a sensor cam or drive twin tools while gaining excellent anti-rotation guidance. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept magnetic switches. The 1/2 inch port and 29 mm adjustable cushions handle rapid 30-800 mm/s cycles.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3682 N | 3682 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5154 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 751 kgf | |
Double-rod model: the rod passes through the rear cover, so both piston faces lose rod area and push is shown at the annular-area value. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

Where the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X10 Is Used
Twin-Tool Stamping
Drives two synchronized forming tools from a single piston, utilizing the equal force on both rod ends for balanced part pressing.
Dual Diverter Flaps
Actuates opposing guide flaps simultaneously on a sorting line, ensuring packages are centered without rotational twist.
Heavy Pallet Stopper
Uses the massive 3681 N bidirectional force to halt heavy pallets, with the rear rod available to trip a mechanical limit switch.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X10 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 100 mm bore when you need substantial equal force both ways. If your project requires less, the 80 mm bore provides 2268 N, while stepping up is impossible as 100 mm is the largest available. The 10 mm stroke is ideal for short clamping or ejection strokes. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot brackets, matching the AirTAC SC series. Since this is a non-magnetic SKU, you cannot use CMSG or DMSG switches; order a -S variant if sensing is required. Even at 10 mm, external guides help absorb side loads.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/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 — same as SC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X10 FAQ
The force is equal in both directions because a 25 mm rod extends from both ends. It generates 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, and 6626 N at 0.9 MPa. It never produces a larger single-rod push value.
No. The 29 mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends; they do not lock the load. If air is lost, the piston drifts. You must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding.
