The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X300S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 300mm 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.
The AirTAC SAUD100X300S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A rod protrudes from both ends, meaning push and pull forces are identical at 3681 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded hard-anodized aluminum barrel keeps the unit shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. This -S variant includes a piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
With a 100mm bore and 25mm rods, it delivers equal thrust in both directions. It features a 1/2 inch port, M20x1.5 rod threads, and 29mm adjustable air cushions at each end. For high-heat environments up to 150 C, specify the Viton H seal option.

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.

Related SAU-family variants: SAUD (double rod), SAUJ (adjustable stroke), SAUF (with built-in solenoid valve), and SAU-S with built-in magnet. Seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N. Sensor switches: CMSG / DMSG / EMSG.
Drives two synchronized machining heads from one piston, ensuring perfectly balanced cutting forces and equal thrust in both extend and retract motions.
Powers opposing transfer arms that pick and place heavy components simultaneously, utilizing the anti-twist geometry of the dual 25mm rods.
Lifts pallets vertically with equal force on the upstroke and downstroke, preventing sagging and maintaining precise vertical alignment.
When sizing this 100mm bore actuator, note the equal 3681 N force both ways. Stepping down to the 80mm bore yields 2268 N, while no larger standard bore exists in this series. Choose this double-rod model when you need anti-rotation stability, twin tooling on one piston, or a back rod to carry a switch cam. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot types, compatible with the AirTAC SC series. The -S magnet supports CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Because the 300mm stroke introduces side-load and rod-bending risks, always use external guide rails to support the payload.
Quick checklist
The force is equal in both directions due to the double-rod design. It outputs 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, and 6626 N at 0.9 MPa. The 1/2 inch port and 29mm cushions manage the airflow for this 100mm bore unit.
No, a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the 29mm cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end and do not act as a brake. For load holding, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
