The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X50S 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 SAUD100X50S is a 100mm bore double-acting profile cylinder with a 50mm stroke. Because a rod protrudes from both ends, the push and pull output is identical, yielding 3681N of force each way at 0.5MPa. The extruded aluminium barrel keeps the body shorter than a standard ISO 15552 unit of the same bore. This -S variant includes a piston magnet for position sensing.
This model features a 1/2 inch port, M20x1.5 rod threads, and 29mm adjustable air cushions at both ends. The equal force is ideal for anti-rotation tasks or driving twin tooling simultaneously. A high-temperature Viton H seal option extends operation to 150C.

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 identical forming tools simultaneously from opposite rod ends, ensuring perfectly synchronized pressing force of 3681N per side.
Uses the dual rods to prevent mechanical twist during high-speed package diversion, maintaining precise alignment without external guides.
Lifts light machinery platforms evenly with equal push and pull force, safely handling vertical loads up to 188kg.
Select this 100mm bore if your application requires high equal bidirectional force and synchronized motion. It sits between the 80mm bore (2268N each way at 0.5MPa) and larger custom setups. The double-rod design is perfect when you need anti-twist guidance or want to mount a sensor cam on the back rod. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. Because this unit includes the -S magnet, it directly supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches. For this 50mm stroke, side loads are minimal, but always guide external loads to prevent binding.
Quick checklist
The force is equal in both directions due to the double-rod design. It outputs 3681N at 0.5MPa, 5153N at 0.7MPa, and 6626N at 0.9MPa. This cylinder uses a 1/2 inch port and never quotes a larger single-rod push value.
No, a plain double-rod cylinder drifts without live air, as the 29mm cushions only decelerate near stroke end. For load holding, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. The -S magnet allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors to verify position.
