Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X425S
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X425S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 425mm 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 SAUD100X425S
The AirTAC SAUD100X425S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A Ø25mm rod protrudes from both ends, meaning both faces use the rod-side piston area. This makes the push and pull force equal, delivering 3681 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel keeps the unit shorter than a standard ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
This 100mm bore model features a 1/2 inch port and a 425mm stroke. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. A Viton H seal option can raise the operating temperature to 150 C.

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 SAUD100X425S Is Used
Twin-Tool Machining
Drives two opposing machining heads simultaneously with equal 3681 N force, ensuring perfectly balanced material removal.
Anti-Rotation Lifting
Lifts heavy vertical loads up to 188 kg without twisting, using the inherent guidance of the dual-rod assembly.
Cam-Triggered Assembly
Uses the extended back rod as a cam to trigger CMSG sensors, confirming full extension in compact automated cells.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X425S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this double-rod unit, compare both ways: the 100mm bore yields 3681 N, while the smaller 80mm bore yields 2268 N. Choose the SAUD when you need synchronized motion, anti-rotation guidance, or a back rod to trip a switch. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA and LB styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. Because the 425mm stroke is long, always use external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the 29mm adjustable cushion only decelerates near the end of travel, so fit an external rod lock for held loads.
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 SAUD100X425S FAQ
Because the 25mm rod exits both ends, the force is equal in both directions. It provides 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, and 6626 N at 0.9 MPa. The unit uses a 1/2 inch port.
No. The adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends; they do not lock the load. If power fails, the rod will drift. You must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding.
