Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X160S
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X160S 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 SAUD100X160S
The AirTAC SAUD100X160S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 25mm rod exits both ends, meaning the push and pull force is identical at 3681N each way at 0.5MPa. The extruded hard-anodized aluminum barrel makes it shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 100mm bore. It features a 1/2 inch port and M20x1.5 rod threads.
This unit includes a piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The rear rod is perfect for mounting a sensor cam. A 29mm adjustable air cushion decelerates the piston at both ends.

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 SAUD100X160S Is Used
Twin-Tool Stamping
Drives two identical forming tools simultaneously from opposite rod ends, ensuring perfectly synchronized press operations.
Anti-Rotation Diverter
Pushes a lane guide across a belt without twisting, using the dual rods to resist rotational torque during heavy product diversion.
Vertical Lift Gate
Raises and lowers a 188kg material gate with equal force, using the rear rod to trigger top and bottom position switches.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X160S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 100mm bore if you need high equal force both ways. The neighboring 80mm bore yields 2268N, while the 100mm delivers 3681N at 0.5MPa. A double rod is ideal for anti-rotation guidance or driving two tools at once. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. The built-in magnet enables precise end-of-stroke sensing. At a 160mm stroke, side loads are minimal, but always use external guides for longer travels.
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 SAUD100X160S FAQ
The force is equal in both directions because of the double rod. It provides 3681N at 0.5MPa, 5153N at 0.7MPa, and 6626N at 0.9MPa.
No, a plain cylinder drifts when air is removed. The 29mm cushion only decelerates near stroke end. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold loads.
