The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X50 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 50mm 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 SAUD100X50 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A rod protrudes from both ends, meaning both faces use the rod-side piston area. This yields equal push and pull force of 3681 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded hard-anodized aluminum barrel keeps the unit shorter than a standard ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 100 mm bore.
This SKU has no internal magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG sensors. The 1/2 inch port and M20x1.5 rod thread match the 100 mm bore specification.

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 two synchronized forming tools from one piston, ensuring parallel contact using the equal force from both rod ends.
Pushes a diverting blade from either side of a belt line, maintaining balanced pressure without twisting during travel.
Lifts flat handling platforms evenly, using the opposing rods to prevent rack skew under heavy 188 kg vertical loads.
Choose this 100 mm bore when you need 3681 N of equal force in both directions. If less power is required, the 80 mm bore provides 2268 N each way at 0.5 MPa. A double-rod design is the right call for anti-rotation guidance, driving twin tooling, or mounting a switch cam on the back rod. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, and LB types compatible with the AirTAC SC series. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot support magnetic sensing. For any stroke over 300 mm, use external guide rails to prevent side-load wear.
Quick checklist
The force is equal in both directions due to 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.
No, a plain cylinder drifts on air loss. The adjustable 29 mm cushions only decelerate near stroke end. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold loads.
