Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X270
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X270 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 270mm 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 SAUD100X270
The AirTAC SAUD100X270 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder with a 100mm bore and 270mm stroke. A rod exits both ends, meaning both faces use the rod-side area. Output is equal both ways at 3681N at 0.5MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. This unit has a 1/2 inch port and M20x1.5 rod threads.
Because two rods guide the piston, this cylinder resists torsion and provides non-rotating anti-twist guidance. A Viton H seal option extends operating temperature to 0-150C. This plain SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a sensor switch.

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 SAUD100X270 Is Used
Twin-Spindle Machining
Drives two synchronized machining heads from opposite rod ends, ensuring parallel cutting operations without torsional deflection.
Dual Transfer Pushers
Pushes pallets in alternating directions on a conveyor line using both rod ends, saving space by performing two handling tasks with one cylinder.
Balanced Vertical Lift
Lifts heavy platens vertically with equal force both ways, using the twin rods to prevent rack twisting during upward and downward travel.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X270 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 100mm bore model when a task demands synchronized motion or twin tooling driven from one piston. If you need less force, the 80mm bore delivers 2268N both ways at 0.5MPa. For higher loads, this 100mm bore provides 3681N. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. At a 270mm stroke, external guide rails help absorb side loads to prevent seal wear. Add the -S suffix variant if you require magnetic 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 SAUD100X270 FAQ
The force is equal in both directions because a rod exits both ends. It outputs 3681N at 0.5MPa, 5153N at 0.7MPa, and 6626N at 0.9MPa. The 1/2 inch port supplies air to achieve these figures.
No, a plain cylinder drifts without live air, as the adjustable 29mm cushions only decelerate near stroke end. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding.
