Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X180S
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X180S 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 SAUD100X180S
The AirTAC SAUD100X180S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 25 mm rod protrudes from both ends of the hard-anodized aluminum extruded barrel, meaning both faces use the rod-side area. This yields exactly 3681 N of thrust and pull at 0.5 MPa. The 1/2 inch port feeds the 100 mm bore, operating at 30-800 mm/s.
This compact unit is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The equal force makes it ideal for synchronized tooling.

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 SAUD100X180S Is Used
Twin-Spindle Machining
Drives two synchronized machining heads from one piston, ensuring parallel cutting paths without rotational twist.
Dual Transfer Arms
Powers opposing pick-and-place arms on a packaging line, using equal push and pull force to maintain cycle balance.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X180S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 100 mm bore if you need 3681 N both ways. Sizing down, the 80 mm bore provides 2268 N both ways. Sizing up is not possible as 100 mm is the largest standard SAUD bore. A double-rod design is the right call when you need anti-rotation guidance, twin tooling, or a back rod to trip a sensor cam. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. At 180 mm stroke, side loads are minimal, but always use external guides for longer travels. The -S magnet enables electronic position sensing.
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 SAUD100X180S FAQ
Because the 25 mm rod exits both ends, the force is equal in both directions: 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, and 6626 N at 0.9 MPa. It never produces a larger single-rod push value.
No, a plain SAUD cylinder drifts without live air. The 29 mm adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end. For load holding, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
