Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X550
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X550 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 550mm 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 SAUD100X550
The AirTAC SAUD100X550 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 25mm rod exits both ends, meaning push and pull forces are identical at 3681 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminium body is shorter than an ISO 15552 unit of the same bore. It features a 1/2 inch port and M20x1.5 rod threads.
With a 550mm stroke, external guides are recommended to prevent rod bending under side loads. This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take CMSG or DMSG sensors. A Viton H seal option raises the operating ceiling to 150 C.

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 SAUD100X550 Is Used
Twin-Tool Machining
Drives two opposing machining heads simultaneously with equal 3681 N force, keeping cycle times balanced.
Synchronized Transfer
Shifts heavy pallets along a conveyor using both rod ends to push and pull loads symmetrically.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X550 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 100mm bore if you need substantial equal force both ways. Step down to the 80mm bore for 2268 N, or up if custom larger bores are available. The double-rod design is ideal for anti-rotation, twin-tool driving, or mounting a cam on the back rod. Mounting fits AirTAC SC series FA flange and LB foot brackets. Since the stroke is 550mm, always use external guides to manage side loads. This non-magnet SKU cannot host sensors.
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 SAUD100X550 FAQ
Force is equal both ways due to the double rod: 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, and 6626 N at 0.9 MPa. It uses a 1/2 inch port.
No. The air cushion only decelerates near stroke end; it does not lock. For load holding on air loss, use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
