Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X230S
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X230S 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 SAUD100X230S
The AirTAC SAUD100X230S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 25mm rod protrudes from both ends of the hard-anodized aluminum extrusion, meaning both faces use the rod-side piston area. This yields equal push and pull force of 3681 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The 1/2 inch port feeds the 100mm bore, and the unit is noticeably shorter than a standard ISO 15552 cylinder of the same size.
Because the rear rod extends outward, it serves as an excellent cam for CMSG or DMSG switches, which this -S variant supports via its internal magnet. The equal force makes it ideal for synchronized twin-tool tasks. A Viton H seal option can raise the operating ceiling 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 SAUD100X230S Is Used
Twin-Spindle Machining
Drives two synchronized machining heads from one piston, utilizing the equal bidirectional force to maintain balanced cutting pressure on both workpieces.
Dual-End Transfer
Pushes a product forward on one belt while simultaneously retracting a return fixture on the opposite side, maximizing cycle efficiency.
Anti-Rotation Lift
Lifts heavy vertical loads up to 188 kg without twisting, using the inherent mechanical stability of the dual-rod guide to prevent platform rotation.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X230S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 100mm bore if your application demands 3681 N of equal force in both directions. Stepping down, the 80mm bore provides 2268 N each way, while no larger standard bore exists in this series. The double-rod architecture is the right call when you need strict anti-rotation guidance, want to drive two tools at once, or require a rear rod to trip a sensor. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. At a 230mm stroke, side loading is minimal, but always guide the load externally to prevent binding. This -S SKU includes the magnet for 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 SAUD100X230S FAQ
The force is equal in both directions because a 25mm rod exits both ends. It outputs 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 100mm bore.
No, the adjustable 29mm cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends and do not act as a brake. For load holding on air loss, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
