The AirTAC SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X145 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 145mm 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.
The AirTAC SAUD100X145 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 25mm rod exits both ends of the hard-anodized aluminum barrel, meaning push and pull forces are identical at 3681 N each way at 0.5 MPa. This extruded profile body is significantly shorter than a standard ISO 15552 unit of the same 100mm bore. It features a 1/2 inch port, M20x1.5 rod threads, and 29mm adjustable air cushions at each end.
Because the piston travels only 145mm, side-loading is minimal, but external guides are always recommended for precise tracking. The twin-rod geometry provides excellent anti-rotation resistance and lets you mount twin tooling or a switch cam on the back rod. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG sensors.

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.

Drives two synchronized machining spindles from one piston, utilizing the equal force and rigid anti-twist properties of the dual rods.
Mounts opposing guide arms on both rod ends to sort or lane heavy packages simultaneously from a central profile body.
Applies a steady 3681 N clamping force on the downstroke and matches it exactly on the retraction for balanced press ejection.
Choose this 100mm bore if your application demands high equal-force bidirectional thrust. Sizing up or down: the neighboring 80mm bore yields 2268 N each way at 0.5 MPa, while no larger standard bore exists in this series. A double-rod design is the right call when you need strict anti-rotation guidance, synchronized twin tooling, or a back-end sensor cam. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. Because this specific SKU has no internal magnet (-S), you cannot mount magnetic sensors; if you need position detection, select a -S variant. For any stroke at or over 300mm, always use external guide rails to prevent rod binding.
Quick checklist
The force is equal in both directions because of the double-rod design. It outputs 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, and 6626 N at 0.9 MPa. The 1/2 inch port and 25mm rods ensure consistent thrust on both extend and retract strokes.
No, a plain double-rod cylinder will drift without live air. The 29mm cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends; they do not lock the load. To hold a vertical load safely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
