Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X290
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X290 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 290mm 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 SAUD100X290
The AirTAC SAUD100X290 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A Ø25 mm rod protrudes from both ends of the hard-anodized extruded aluminum barrel, 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 unit is notably shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
This 100 mm bore model features a 1/2 inch port and 29 mm adjustable air cushions at each end. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches.

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 SAUD100X290 Is Used
Twin-Tool Stamping
Drives two synchronized forming tools from a single piston, ensuring parallel contact on heavy sheet metal work.
Anti-Rotation Diverter
Uses the dual rods to prevent twist during extended travel, keeping the diverter arm perfectly aligned on the belt line.
Symmetric Lift Fixture
Lifts palletized loads with equal force in both directions, preventing sagging on the return stroke.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X290 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 100 mm bore unit, the neighboring 80 mm bore provides 2268 N both ways, while there is no larger standard SAUD bore. The SAUD100X290 is the right call when your mechanism demands strict anti-rotation guidance, needs to drive two tools at once, or requires a back rod to trip a mechanical switch. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. Since this is a non-magnetized SKU, you must use external mechanical limit switches. At 290 mm stroke, always use an external guide rail to prevent side-load binding.
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 SAUD100X290 FAQ
The double-rod design provides equal force both ways: 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, and 6626 N at 0.9 MPa. It uses a 1/2 inch port.
No. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss, and the 29 mm cushions only decelerate near stroke end. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold loads.
