Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X15
The AirTAC SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X15 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 15mm 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 SAUD100X15
The AirTAC SAUD100X15 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder with a 100mm bore and 15mm stroke. Because a rod exits both ends, the effective area is identical on each face, yielding an equal push and pull force of 3681N at 0.5MPa. The extruded aluminium profile barrel keeps the unit shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
This SKU has no internal magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG sensors. For high-temperature environments up to 150C, specify the Viton H seal option. The 1/2inch port matches the 100mm bore specification.

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 SAUD100X15 Is Used
Twin-Tool Stamping
Drives two synchronized forming tools from opposite rod ends to punch thin gauge metal panels simultaneously.
Anti-Rotation Gripper
Powers a clamping jaw that must extend and retract without twisting, ensuring precise part orientation.
Dual Transfer Pusher
Shifts packages from one lane to another using both rod ends to actuate parallel diverter arms.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X15 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 100mm bore model when your mechanism requires strict anti-rotation guidance or needs to drive two tools simultaneously from one piston. Stepping down to the 80mm bore drops the equal force to 2268N at 0.5MPa, while there is no larger standard SAUD option. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. Since this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, you cannot mount magnetic switches; you must use external mechanical limit detection. With a short 15mm stroke, side-load stress is minimal compared to longer travel units.
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 SAUD100X15 FAQ
The force is equal in both directions because the double-rod design uses the rod-side area on both faces. It generates 3681N at 0.5MPa, 5153N at 0.7MPa, and 6626N at 0.9MPa. The unit features a 1/2inch port and a 25mm rod.
No, a plain double-rod cylinder drifts without live air; the adjustable 29mm cushions only decelerate near the stroke ends. To suspend a load safely, fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
