Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X500
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X500 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 500mm 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 SAUD100X500
The AirTAC SAUD100X500 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A rod protrudes from both ends, meaning the push and pull output is identical at 3681 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminium barrel keeps the unit shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore, and it uses a 1/2 inch port with an M20x1.5 rod thread.
This design excels at anti-rotation duty and driving twin tooling. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, 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 SAUD100X500 Is Used
Twin-Tool Machining
Drives two opposing machining heads simultaneously with perfectly synchronized 3681 N force on both faces.
Anti-Rotation Lifting
Lifts vertical loads up to 188 kg while the dual rods prevent twist and maintain precise load alignment.
Dual Transfer Arms
Powers paired transfer arms on a conveyor line, ensuring both sides move identically without skewing.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X500 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 100 mm bore, stepping down to the 80 mm bore yields 2268 N of equal force, while there is no larger standard SAUD option. Choose the double-rod layout when you need strict non-rotating guidance or a back rod to carry a switch cam. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, and LB styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. At 500 mm of stroke, external guides are strongly recommended to prevent rod bending under side loads. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts without live air; use an external rod lock for holding.
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 SAUD100X500 FAQ
The force is equal in both directions due to the double rods. It provides 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, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet option, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. You would need the -S variant for magnetic switching.
