Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X45
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X45 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 45mm 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 SAUD100X45
The AirTAC SAUD100X45 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and 45mm stroke. Because a rod protrudes from both ends, the push and pull forces are identical at 3681 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminium barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. This model uses a 1/2 inch port and an M20x1.5 rod thread.
This twin-rod design provides excellent anti-rotation accuracy and allows driving two tools simultaneously. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG sensors. For high-heat environments up to 150 C, specify the Viton H seal option.

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 SAUD100X45 Is Used
Twin-Tool Stamping
Drives two synchronized forming tools from opposite rod ends, ensuring perfectly balanced impact without rotational drift.
Dual-End Diverters
Powers a sorting gate from both sides simultaneously, keeping the mechanism compact while preventing binding under high loads.
Guided Lifting Jigs
Lifts heavy pallets or fixtures with built-in anti-rotation stability, replacing bulkier external guide shafts.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X45 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 100mm bore if you need 3681 N of equal bidirectional force. Sizing down, the 80mm bore provides 2268 N each way, while no larger standard bore exists in this series. A double rod is the right call when your mechanism demands strict anti-twist guidance or synchronized twin-tool actuation. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, and LB styles, sharing compatibility with the AirTAC SC series. Because this specific SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot host a sensor; add the -S suffix if you need switch tracking. At a 45mm stroke, side-load stress is minimal, but always use external guides for longer strokes.
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 SAUD100X45 FAQ
The force is equal in both directions because of 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 feeds both chambers equally.
No, a plain cylinder drifts on air loss and the 29mm adjustable cushion only decelerates near stroke end. For a held load, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
