The AirTAC SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X165 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 165mm 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 SAUD100X165 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 25mm rod exits both ends of the hard-anodized extruded aluminum barrel, meaning both faces use the rod-side piston area. This yields exactly 3681 N of thrust and retraction force at 0.5 MPa. The 1/2 inch port feeds the 100mm bore, operating at 30-800 mm/s with 29mm adjustable air cushions at each end.
Because the twin rods mechanically prevent twist, this unit suits non-rotating loads. The rear rod can also drive a second tool or carry a switch cam. The extruded profile is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. This plain SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host 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.

Related SAU-family variants: SAUD (double rod), SAUJ (adjustable stroke), SAUF (with built-in solenoid valve), and SAU-S with built-in magnet. Seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N. Sensor switches: CMSG / DMSG / EMSG.
Drives two synchronized machining heads from one piston, utilizing the protruding rod at both ends for balanced material removal.
Shifts heavy workpieces laterally across a belt line without rotational drift, relying on the dual rods for strict guidance.
Carries a gripper on the front face and a secondary ejector on the back rod to streamline high-cycle packaging tasks.
Select this 100mm bore if your application requires 3681 N of equal force both ways. Sizing down, the 80mm bore provides 2268 N; sizing up is not possible as 100mm is the largest in the series. Choose this double-rod configuration when you need anti-rotation guidance, twin tooling, or a back-end cam. It shares FA and LB mounting styles with the AirTAC SC series. At 165mm stroke, side loads are minimal, but always use external guides for longer travels. For high heat up to 150 C, specify the Viton H seal. Remember this non-magnetic SKU cannot accept position sensors.
Quick checklist
The force is equal both ways because both chambers contain a rod. 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 feeds the 100mm bore.
No, the air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke end; they do not act as a brake. On air loss the load will drift. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for holding.
