Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X180
The AirTAC SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X180 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 180mm 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 SAUD100X180
The AirTAC SAUD100X180 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 25mm rod exits both ends, meaning push and pull forces are perfectly equal at 3681N each way at 0.5MPa. The extruded aluminium body is shorter than a standard ISO 15552 unit of the same bore. It features a 1/2 inch port and 29mm adjustable cushions at both ends.
Because the twin rods prevent twisting, this model suits non-rotating loads. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take CMSG or DMSG sensors. For high heat up to 150C, specify the Viton H seal.

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 SAUD100X180 Is Used
Twin-Tool Machining
Drives two opposing spindles simultaneously with 3681N of equal force, keeping cycle times synchronized.
Anti-Rotation Transfer
Moves a parts pusher across a belt without twisting, thanks to the rigid guidance of dual 25mm rods.
Vertical Lift Station
Raises a 188kg pallet fixture straight up using the equal pull force, relying on a check valve for safety.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X180 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 100mm bore if you need 3681N of equal bidirectional force over a 180mm stroke. Sizing down, the 80mm bore provides 2268N both ways. Sizing up is not possible as 100mm is the largest in the series. Select this twin-rod design specifically for anti-rotation guidance or driving two tools at once. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot, matching the AirTAC SC series. Since the stroke is under 300mm, side-load guide rules are relaxed, but always use external guides for longer travels. Remember this SKU has no magnet for switches. The cylinder will drift without live air, so 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 SAUD100X180 FAQ
The force is equal in both directions because of the double-rod design. It outputs 3681N at 0.5MPa, 5153N at 0.7MPa, and 6626N at 0.9MPa. The 1/2 inch port feeds both chambers equally.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot take CMSG or DMSG switches. You would need the -S version for sensing. The rear rod can still trip an external switch.
