Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X450
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X450 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 450mm 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 SAUD100X450
The AirTAC SAUD100X450 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A piston rod protrudes from both ends, meaning both faces use the rod-side area. This yields exactly 3681 N of thrust and pull each way at 0.5 MPa. The hard-anodized extruded aluminum barrel makes it shorter than an ISO 15552 unit of the same bore.
Because both ends carry a rod, output force is identical in both directions. The 1/2 inch port drives the 30-800 mm/s speed range, and adjustable 29 mm cushions decelerate the 450 mm stroke. This plain SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG sensors.

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 SAUD100X450 Is Used
Twin-Tool Machining
Drives two opposing machining heads simultaneously with perfectly synchronized 3681 N force for balanced part cutting.
Anti-Rotation Pressing
Applies equal downstroke and upstroke force without twist, ensuring flat press fits over a 450 mm travel distance.
Dual-End Transfer
Pushes a workpiece forward while moving a return fixture backward on the opposite rod end for continuous flow.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X450 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 100 mm bore, stepping down to the 80 mm bore drops the equal force to 2268 N at 0.5 MPa, while there is no larger standard SAUD option. Choose this double-rod model when your mechanism requires strict anti-rotation guidance, needs to drive two tools at once, or uses the back rod to trip a mechanical switch. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. Because the 450 mm stroke exceeds 300 mm, you must use external guide rails to prevent rod bending and side-load damage.
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 SAUD100X450 FAQ
The force is equal both ways because rods exit both ends. It delivers 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 and has 29 mm adjustable cushions.
No, a plain cylinder drifts without live air; the cushions only decelerate near stroke end and do not lock the piston. For a held load, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
