Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X15S
The AirTAC SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X15S 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 SAUD100X15S
The AirTAC SAUD100X15S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 25 mm rod exits both ends of the hard-anodized aluminum extruded barrel, meaning both faces use the rod-side piston area. This yields identical push and pull thrust of 3681 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded profile is notably shorter than an ISO 15552 unit of the same 100 mm bore.
Because the rod protrudes at the rear, you can mount a switch cam directly on it for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors (the -S suffix confirms the internal magnet is fitted). The 1/2 inch port feeds the chambers, while adjustable 29 mm air cushions decelerate the payload near each end.

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 SAUD100X15S Is Used
Twin-Tool Stamping
Drives two synchronized forming tools from one piston, ensuring parallel contact and equal 3681 N clamping thrust on both the extend and retract strokes.
Dual-End Diverters
Pushes a diverter arm from either side of a belt line, using the rear rod to trip a physical limit switch cam at the exact midpoint of the 15 mm travel.
Lift-and-Place Heads
Carries a vertical gripper plate that must lift and lower with zero twist, relying on the dual rods to prevent binding during rapid 30-800 mm/s cycles.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X15S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 100 mm bore when your application demands identical thrust in both directions. If you need less force, step down to the 80 mm bore (2268 N each way at 0.5 MPa); if you need more, this is the largest standard SAUD size. The twin-rod architecture is the right call for anti-rotation guidance, driving twin tooling, or rear-rod sensing. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. For environments up to 150 C, specify the Viton H seal. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the cushions only decelerate, so add an external rod lock for load holding.
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 SAUD100X15S FAQ
The thrust is equal in both directions because a 25 mm rod exits both ends. It produces 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, and 6626 N at 0.9 MPa on both extend and retract.
The twin rods provide inherent anti-rotation resistance and allow you to mount a sensor cam on the back rod. The -S magnet in this unit also enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position feedback.
