The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X5 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 5mm 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 SAUD100X5 is a 100mm bore double-acting profile cylinder with a 5mm stroke. A piston rod exits both ends, so the push and pull output is identical at 3681 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum body is shorter than a standard ISO 15552 unit of the same bore. It uses a 1/2 inch port and adjustable 29mm air cushions at both ends.
Because the second rod occupies the rear chamber, force stays equal in both directions. A high temperature Viton H seal option extends operation from 0 to 150 C. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG sensors.

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.

Related SAU-family variants: SAUD (double rod), SAUJ (adjustable stroke), SAUF (with built-in solenoid valve), and SAU-S with built-in magnet. Seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N. Sensor switches: CMSG / DMSG / EMSG.
Drives opposing tooling on both rods to clamp and seal heavy film pouches with identical force.
Extends a blade from both ends to halt pallets without twisting under high side impact.
Synchronizes two stamping heads on a single piston for perfectly matched cutting cycles.
Choose this 100mm bore if you need 3681 N of equal bidirectional thrust over a short 5mm travel. Sizing down, the 80mm bore provides 2268 N each way. Sizing up is unavailable as 100mm is the maximum. Select a double-rod unit when your mechanism requires anti-rotation guidance, twin tooling, or a rear cam. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot brackets compatible with the AirTAC SC series. For any stroke over 300mm, add external guide rails to prevent side-load wear. Remember this plain cylinder cannot hold a load without live air; add an external rod lock for vertical safety.
Quick checklist
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 1/2 inch port feeds the 100mm bore to achieve these figures.
No. This SAUD100X5 SKU is built without a magnet, so it cannot trigger CMSG or DMSG switches. You must choose an SAUD model with the -S suffix to use electronic sensing along the profile barrel.
