Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X240
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X240 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 240mm 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 SAUD100X240
The AirTAC SAUD100X240 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 240 mm stroke. A rod exits both ends, meaning both faces use the rod-side piston area. This yields exactly 3681 N of output force at 0.5 MPa in both directions. The extruded aluminum barrel is shorter than an equivalent ISO 15552 unit of the same bore.
This configuration provides excellent anti-rotation guidance and lets you mount twin tooling. Because this SKU lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG sensors. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa, and a Viton H seal option extends the temperature range to 0-150 C. The 1/2 inch port matches the 100 mm bore.

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 SAUD100X240 Is Used
Twin-Spindle Machining
Drives two opposing machining heads simultaneously with equal push and pull force, ensuring perfectly synchronized cutting cycles.
Dual-End Transfer
Shifts workpieces across parallel conveyor lanes using tooling attached to both rod ends for balanced, anti-rotation handling.
Vertical Lift Stations
Raises heavy palletized loads up to 188 kg safely, using the equal both-ways force to maintain steady vertical travel.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X240 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 100 mm bore if you need 3681 N equal force both ways at 0.5 MPa. Sizing down, the 80 mm bore provides 2268 N. Sizing up is not possible as 100 mm is the largest standard SAUD option. Select a double-rod model when your application demands synchronized motion, twin tooling, or anti-twist guidance. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, and LB styles, compatible with the AirTAC SC series. For this 240 mm stroke, external side-load guides are recommended to prevent binding. Note that this non-magnet version cannot host reed switches.
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 SAUD100X240 FAQ
The force is equal in both directions because a rod protrudes from each end. It produces 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 achieve these figures.
No. A plain SAUD cylinder drifts without live air, as the adjustable 29 mm cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end. For suspended loads, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
