Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X500S
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X500S 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 SAUD100X500S
The AirTAC SAUD100X500S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder with a 100mm bore and 500mm stroke. Because a rod extends from both ends, the push and pull output is identical at 3681 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded hard-anodized aluminum barrel keeps the overall length shorter than a standard ISO 15552 unit of the same size, and it includes a built-in magnet (-S) for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
This 1/2" ported model features a 25mm rod with an M20x1.5 thread and adjustable 29mm air cushions at both ends. The equal force makes it ideal for non-rotating or synchronized tasks, while the rear rod can carry a switch cam. For high-temperature environments up to 150 C, Viton H seals are available.

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 SAUD100X500S Is Used
Twin-Spindle Machining
Drives two synchronized machining heads from opposite rod ends, ensuring perfectly balanced cutting feed without rotational twist.
Symmetric Lift Jigs
Lifts heavy fabrication jigs vertically with identical push and pull power, preventing sagging on the return stroke.
Dual Transfer Arms
Mounts a transfer arm on the front rod and a switch cam on the rear rod to confirm stroke position on packaging lines.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X500S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 100mm bore if your application demands 3681 N of equal force in both directions, such as twin-tool machining or anti-twist lifting. Sizing down, the 80mm bore provides 2268 N each way at 0.5 MPa; sizing up is not available as 100mm is the maximum profile. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. The -S magnet enables electronic or reed sensing. Because the stroke is 500mm, external guide rails are recommended to prevent rod bending under side loads.
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 SAUD100X500S FAQ
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. The 1/2" port and 25mm rod ensure stable flow and strength for these loads.
No, a plain double-rod cylinder will drift on air loss because the adjustable 29mm cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends, they do not lock it. To maintain a vertical position, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
