Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X165S
The AirTAC SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X165S 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.

About the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X165S
The AirTAC SAUD100X165S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 25mm rod protrudes from both ends of the 100mm bore, meaning both faces use the identical rod-side area. This yields equal push and pull force of 3681N at 0.5MPa. The extruded aluminium barrel is shorter than a standard ISO 15552 unit of the same bore. This -S variant includes a piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.
With a 1/2inch port and 29mm adjustable cushions at each end, it handles 30-800mm/s speeds. The twin rods prevent rotation and provide anti-twist guidance. A Viton H seal option extends operation to 150C.

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 SAUD100X165S Is Used
Twin-Spindle Drilling
Drives two synchronized machining spindles from one piston, using the equal both-ways force to extend and retract tooling simultaneously.
Dual Transfer Pusher
Pushes parts from either side of a belt using both rod ends, maintaining precise non-rotating alignment during the transfer.
Cam-Triggered Sorting
Uses the back rod as a mechanical cam to trigger external CMSG or DMSG sensors, confirming stroke position for a sorting gate.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X165S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 100mm bore when you need 3681N of force in both directions. Sizing down, the 80mm bore provides 2268N each way. Sizing up is not possible as 100mm is the maximum. The double-rod layout is ideal for driving two tools or carrying a switch cam on the back rod. Mounting uses SC-series compatible FA flange or LB foot brackets. Because this stroke is 165mm, external side-load guides are recommended to protect the seals. Remember a plain cylinder drifts without air; add a pilot-operated check valve 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 SAUD100X165S FAQ
Because the 25mm rod exits both ends, force is equal in both directions: 3681N at 0.5MPa, 5153N at 0.7MPa, and 6626N at 0.9MPa. The 1/2inch port supplies air to both chambers equally.
No, the 29mm cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end; they do not lock the load. For secure holding, you must fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
