Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X20
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X20 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 20mm 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 SAUD100X20
The AirTAC SAUD100X20 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 25mm rod exits both ends, meaning push and pull forces are identical at 3681 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded hard-anodized aluminum barrel keeps the unit shorter than a standard ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 100mm bore. It features a 1/2 inch port and M20x1.5 rod threads.
You can specify Viton H seals to raise the operating temperature limit from 70 C up to 150 C. As this SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG magnetic switches.

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 SAUD100X20 Is Used
Twin-Tool Stamping
Drives two identical forming punches from opposite rod ends to hit a workpiece simultaneously with 3681 N of equal force.
Anti-Rotation Lift
Uses the dual rods to lift and lower a heavy 188 kg platen without twisting, ensuring precise vertical alignment in a short 20mm motion.
Synchronized Transfer
Pushes a product from one belt lane to another while the opposing rod simultaneously retracts a diverter gate for matched timing.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X20 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 100mm bore if you need substantial equal force in both directions for a short 20mm stroke. Sizing down, the 80mm bore provides 2268 N each way at 0.5 MPa, while this 100mm unit delivers 3681 N. Select a double-rod design when your mechanism requires anti-rotation guidance, needs to drive two tools simultaneously, or uses the back rod to trip a mechanical switch. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. Because this is a no-S SKU, magnetic sensing is impossible. For any load holding, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as the 29mm adjustable cushions only decelerate near the stroke ends and will not prevent drift on air loss.
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 SAUD100X20 FAQ
Because the 25mm 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 uses a 1/2 inch port.
No, this specific SKU lacks the internal magnet (-S suffix required for sensing). However, the protruding back rod can carry a physical cam to trip an external mechanical switch.
