Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X5S
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X5S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 5mm 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 SAUD100X5S
The AirTAC SAUD100X5S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder with a 100mm bore and 5mm stroke. Because a rod exits both ends, the push and pull force is identical at 3681 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel is noticeably shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. This -S variant includes a piston magnet for position sensing.
The 1/2 inch port matches the 100mm bore. For high heat up to 150 C, specify the Viton H seal option. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss, so use an external rod lock for held loads.

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 SAUD100X5S Is Used
Twin-Tool Stamping
Drives two synchronized forming tools from one piston to press small components with 3681 N of equal force.
Anti-Rotation Transfer
Moves a delicate electronics gripper between stations without rotational twist during the 5mm travel.
Cam Trip Sensing
Uses the extended back rod to physically trip a limit switch or carry a CMSG sensor cam in tight spaces.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X5S the Right Cylinder?
This 100mm bore delivers 3681 N equal force both ways at 0.5 MPa. Stepping down, the 80mm bore provides 2268 N both ways. Stepping up is not possible as 100mm is the largest size. Choose a double-rod unit for anti-rotation guidance, twin tooling, or mounting a sensor cam on the back rod. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, and LB styles, compatible with the AirTAC SC series. The -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches. At 5mm stroke side-load guide wear is minimal.
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 SAUD100X5S FAQ
The force is equal in both directions because it is a 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 inch port feeds both chambers equally.
No. A plain double-rod cylinder will drift if air pressure drops or the valve is centered. The adjustable 29mm cushion only decelerates near stroke end. You must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a load.
