Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X260
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X260 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 260mm 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 SAUD100X260
The AirTAC SAUD100X260 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 25mm rod exits both ends of the 100mm bore, meaning both faces use the identical rod-side area. This delivers an equal output of 3681 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminium barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 unit of the same bore.
This model features a 1/2 inch port and M20x1.5 rod threads. Without the -S suffix, this SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a sensor. 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 SAUD100X260 Is Used
Twin-Spindle Drilling
Drives two synchronized machining spindles from one piston, ensuring both holes are bored simultaneously without rotational twist.
Dual Pneumatic Stops
Deploys two stopping blades at once on a high-speed packaging line, keeping the physical load perfectly balanced across the stroke.
Balanced Pressing Jig
Applies even downward clamping pressure on a workpiece, using the equal push and pull forces to maintain precise vertical alignment.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X260 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 100mm bore when your application requires 3681 N of thrust and identical retraction force. If you need less power, the 80mm bore provides 2268 N both ways. If you need more, no larger standard bore exists in this series. The twin rods make this the right call for anti-rotation duties or driving two tools at once. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot, matching the AirTAC SC series. Since the 260mm stroke is under 300mm, side-load risks are minimal, but external guides are still advised for heavy offset loads.
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 SAUD100X260 FAQ
Because the 25mm rod protrudes from both ends, the force is equal in both directions. 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 feeds both chambers equally.
No. The adjustable 29mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends; they do not lock the position. For secure load holding on air loss, you must fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
