Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X55
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X55 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 55mm 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 SAUD100X55
The AirTAC SAUD100X55 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 25 mm rod exits both ends of the hard-anodized aluminum extruded barrel, meaning both faces use the rod-side piston area. This yields exactly 3681 N of output force in both directions at 0.5 MPa. The unit is notably shorter than a standard ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
Because the rod protrudes at the back, you can mount a sensor cam or drive twin tools simultaneously. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG switches. For high-heat duties up to 150 C, specify the Viton H seal option.

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 SAUD100X55 Is Used
Twin-Spindle Machining
Drives two synchronized machining heads from one piston, ensuring perfectly matched feed rates without torsional deflection.
Dual Transfer Pushers
Pushes pallets from either side simultaneously, using the equal 3681 N thrust to square up heavy loads on a conveyor line.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X55 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 100 mm bore when your application demands high bidirectional thrust and strict anti-rotation guidance. If you need less force, the 80 mm bore provides 2268 N both ways, whereas stepping up is impossible as 100 mm is the largest SAUD size. The 55 mm stroke is short, so side-load stress is minimal, but any stroke over 300 mm requires external guide rails to prevent binding. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, and LB styles matching the AirTAC SC series. Since this is a non-magnet version, selecting a -S model is mandatory if you require position sensing.
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 SAUD100X55 FAQ
The force is equal in both directions because the 25 mm rod exits both ends. It generates 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, and 6626 N at 0.9 MPa.
No, the adjustable 29 mm cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end. To prevent drift on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
