Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X30S
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X30S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 30mm 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 SAUD100X30S
The AirTAC SAUD100X30S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 25mm rod exits both ends of the hard-anodized aluminum barrel, meaning both faces use the rod-side piston area. This yields identical push and pull thrust of 3681 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded profile body is notably shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 100mm bore.
Because of the twin rods, this unit resists torsion and provides synchronized motion for dual-tool setups. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. It features a 1/2 inch port, M20x1.5 rod threads, and 29mm adjustable air cushions at both ends.

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 SAUD100X30S Is Used
Twin-Spindle Drilling
Drives two synchronized machining spindles from one piston, using the equal both-ways thrust to extend and retract tooling without rotational twist.
Dual Transfer Pushers
Mounts opposing pusher fingers on the twin rods to shift heavy pallets smoothly between parallel conveyor lines in a single stroke.
Cam-Trippled Sorting
Uses the extended back rod to physically trip a limit switch or carry a DMSG sensor cam, confirming part ejection in high-speed packaging.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X30S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 100mm bore unit, step down to the 80mm bore for 2268 N equal force, or step up if you need more than the 6626 N maximum at 0.9 MPa offered here. Choose this double-rod configuration when your mechanism requires strict anti-rotation guidance, needs to drive two tools at once, or uses a switch cam on the back rod. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. The -S magnet allows solid state or reed sensors to track position. Since the stroke is only 30mm, side-load stress is minimal, but always guide external loads to prevent 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 SAUD100X30S FAQ
The output force is equal in both directions because rods protrude from both ends. It generates 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, and 6626 N at 0.9 MPa on both the extend and retract strokes.
No, a plain double-rod cylinder drifts without live air; the 29mm adjustable cushions only decelerate near the stroke ends. To hold a load securely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
