Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X170
The AirTAC SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X170 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 170mm 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 SAUD100X170
The AirTAC SAUD100X170 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A rod protrudes from both ends, meaning both faces use the rod-side piston area. Output is 3681 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The 1/2 inch port feeds this 100 mm bore, which runs at 30-800 mm/s.
This extruded aluminium body is shorter than a standard ISO 15552 unit of the same bore. It carries adjustable 29 mm cushions at both ends. Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot take a sensor.

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 SAUD100X170 Is Used
Twin-Spindle Drilling
Drives two synchronized machining spindles from one piston, ensuring parallel hole patterns without twist.
Dual Transfer Pushers
Pushes a workpiece from one belt to another using both rod ends simultaneously for balanced ejection.
Symmetric Pressing Jig
Applies equal clamping pressure downwards and upwards simultaneously to hold a central workpiece.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X170 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 100 mm bore delivering 3681 N equal force when you need strict anti-rotation guidance or twin tooling. Sizing down, the 80 mm bore yields 2268 N. Sizing up is not possible as 100 mm is the largest. Mount via Basic, FA flange, or LB foot, matching the AirTAC SC series. This non-magnet version cannot host switches. For the 170 mm stroke, external guide rails should carry any side loads.
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 SAUD100X170 FAQ
Force is equal in both directions because of the double-rod design. It produces 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, and 6626 N at 0.9 MPa. The 1/2 inch port supplies air to the 100 mm bore.
No. A plain cylinder drifts without live air; the 29 mm cushion only decelerates near stroke end. For load holding, fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Also, this non-magnet SKU cannot take a sensor.
