Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X170S
The AirTAC SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X170S 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 SAUD100X170S
The AirTAC SAUD100X170S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A rod exits both ends, meaning both faces use the rod-side piston area. Output is equal in extension and retraction at 3681 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The 1/2 inch port feeds the 100 mm bore, which features an M20x1.5 rod thread and 29 mm adjustable air cushions at each end.
This extruded aluminum profile body is shorter than an ISO 15552 unit of the same bore. The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You can mount a sensor cam or trip a switch on the back rod. A high-temp Viton H seal option extends operation to 150 C.

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 SAUD100X170S Is Used
Twin-Spindle Machining
Drives two synchronized machining heads from one piston, ensuring perfectly balanced cutting feed without torsional twist.
Dual Transfer Arms
Powers opposing transfer arms on a packaging line, using the symmetrical rod extension to push and pull parts evenly.
Vertical Lift Fixture
Lifts heavy pallets straight up and down, using the equal force both ways to securely raise and lower the 188 kg load.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X170S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 100 mm bore when your application demands 3681 N of equal push and pull force at 0.5 MPa. If you need less thrust, step down to the 80 mm bore offering 2268 N both ways. If you require more, note that 100 mm is the largest standard SAUD size. A double rod is the right call for anti-rotation guidance, driving twin tooling, or back-end sensing. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot types, matching the AirTAC SC series. The -S magnet allows position sensing. For this 170 mm stroke, external guide rails are recommended to prevent side-load binding.
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 SAUD100X170S FAQ
Because this is a double-rod cylinder, the force is equal in both directions. It provides 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. The 29 mm adjustable cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends; they do not lock the load. If you need to hold a load vertically during air loss, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
