Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X280
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X280 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 280mm 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 SAUD100X280
The AirTAC SAUD100X280 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 25 mm rod protrudes from both ends of the hard-anodized extruded aluminum barrel, meaning both faces use the rod-side piston area. This yields exactly 3681 N of output force each way at 0.5 MPa, with no larger single-rod push value to confuse sizing. The unit is notably shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 100 mm bore.
Because the twin rods mechanically prevent twist, this model excels at non-rotating guidance. The 1/2 inch port feeds a bore that moves at 30-800 mm/s. This specific SKU lacks the internal magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG sensors.

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 SAUD100X280 Is Used
Twin-Tool Stamping
Drives two synchronized forming tools from one piston, ensuring parallel contact on heavy sheet metal work.
Anti-Rotation Diverter
Uses the dual rods to prevent twist while pushing heavy packages across a high-speed sorting line.
Guided Vertical Lift
Raises a 188 kg materials rack smoothly, relying on the inherent parallel guidance of the double rod.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X280 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 100 mm bore, stepping down to the 80 mm variant drops the equal force to 2268 N at 0.5 MPa, while no larger standard bore exists in this series. Choose the SAUD100X280 when your mechanism requires strict anti-rotation, needs to drive two tools at once, or uses the back rod to trip an external switch. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, and LB styles that match the AirTAC SC series. At a 280 mm stroke, ensure external load guides are used to prevent side-loading damage to the rod seals. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts without live air; add an external rod lock for secure load holding.
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 SAUD100X280 FAQ
Force is equal in both directions because both faces carry a rod. 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 the 100 mm bore.
No. This specific SKU lacks the internal magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S suffix version for magnetic sensing.
