Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X230
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X230 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 230mm 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 SAUD100X230
The AirTAC SAUD100X230 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder featuring a 100 mm bore and a 230 mm stroke. Because a rod protrudes from both ends, the push and pull output is identical, yielding 3681 N of force each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded hard-anodized aluminium barrel keeps the unit shorter than a standard ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
This configuration uses a 1/2 inch port and an M20x1.5 rod thread. Without the -S magnet suffix, this specific SKU cannot accept magnetic switches. For thermal demands, a Viton H seal option extends operation up 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 SAUD100X230 Is Used
Twin-Spindle Drilling
Drives two synchronized machining spindles from one piston, ensuring perfectly matched feed rates and equal thrust of 3681 N in both advance and retract directions.
Dual Transfer Pushers
Mounts a pusher blade on the front rod and a mechanical cam on the back rod to trip a physical limit switch, eliminating the need for embedded magnetic sensors.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X230 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 100 mm bore provides 3681 N of equal bidirectional force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less power, stepping down to the 80 mm bore yields 2268 N each way. Moving up is not possible as 100 mm is the largest available SAUD size. A double-rod design is the right call when you need anti-rotation stability, synchronized twin-tool driving, or a rear rod to physically trip a limit switch. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. At a 230 mm stroke, side loads remain manageable, but external guidance is always recommended to prevent rod 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 SAUD100X230 FAQ
Because this is a double-rod cylinder, the force is equal in both directions. It generates 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 both chambers equally.
No, a plain SAUD cylinder will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered. The adjustable 29 mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends and do not act as a brake. For load holding, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
