Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X160
The AirTAC SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X160 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 160mm 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 SAUD100X160
The AirTAC SAUD100X160 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 25mm rod protrudes from both ends of the hard-anodized aluminum extruded barrel, meaning both faces use the rod-side piston area. This yields equal push and pull force of 3681 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The unit is notably shorter than a standard ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 100mm bore.
This model features a 1/2 inch port and 29mm adjustable air cushions at both ends. Without the -S magnet option, this specific SKU cannot accept magnetic switches. For high-temperature environments up to 150 degrees C, Viton H seals are available.

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 SAUD100X160 Is Used
Twin-Tool Stamping
Drives two synchronized forming tools from a single piston to press components with identical 3681 N force on both the advance and retract strokes.
Dual-End Diverting
Uses the protruding back rod as a mechanical cam to actuate a secondary valve while the front rod pushes a product off the belt line.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X160 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 100mm bore if your application requires 3681 N of equal bidirectional force. Stepping down, the 80mm bore provides 2268 N each way, while no larger standard bore exists in this series. A double-rod design is the right call when you need anti-rotation guidance, want to drive two tools simultaneously, or require a back rod to trip a mechanical switch. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. At a 160mm stroke, side loading is minimal, but external guides should always support the load rather than the piston rod itself.
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 SAUD100X160 FAQ
Because the 25mm rod exits both ends, the force is equal in both directions: 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, and 6626 N at 0.9 MPa. It uses a 1/2 inch port.
No. The 29mm adjustable cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends; they do not lock the load. You must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to prevent drifting on air loss.
