The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X475 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 475mm 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 SAUD100X475 is a double-acting double-rod profile cylinder. A 25 mm rod exits both ends of the hard-anodized extruded aluminum barrel, meaning both faces use the rod-side piston area. This yields an identical output of 3681 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The unit is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore and uses a 1/2 inch port.
Because the rod protrudes at the back, you can mount a sensor cam or trip a switch directly on the rear shaft. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG magnetic switches. 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.

Drives two synchronized workpieces simultaneously from opposite ends of the piston for balanced conveyor loading without torsional twist.
Applies 3681 N of clamping force in a machining fixture where the twin rods prevent the jaw from twisting under heavy lateral offset.
Raises and lowers a 188 kg vertical platform payload with equal push and pull power, maintaining smooth deceleration via the 29 mm cushions.
Choose this 100 mm bore if you need substantial equal bidirectional thrust. Stepping down, the 80 mm bore provides 2268 N each way at 0.5 MPa. Stepping up is not possible as 100 mm is the largest available SAUD size. Select a double-rod design when your mechanism requires anti-rotation guidance, needs to drive two tools at once, or benefits from rear-end sensing. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. At a 475 mm stroke, the extended shaft is highly susceptible to side-load bending; always pair it with external linear guides to prevent premature seal wear. To add magnetic sensing, you must select the -S version instead of this base model.
Quick checklist
The force is equal in both directions because the 25 mm rod exits both ends. 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 supplies air to both chambers.
No. A plain double-rod cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve is centered. The adjustable 29 mm air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends; it does not act as a brake. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding.
