Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X60
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X60 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 60mm 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 SAUD100X60
The AirTAC SAUD100X60 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and 60mm stroke. A 25mm piston rod protrudes from both ends, meaning both faces use the identical rod-side area. This yields an identical output of 3681 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded hard-anodized aluminum barrel is noticeably shorter than an ISO 15552 unit of the same bore.
This twin-rod architecture provides inherent anti-rotation guidance and lets you mount twin tooling or a switch cam on the back rod. The 1/2 inch port drives the unit across a 30-800 mm/s speed range. A high-temperature Viton H seal option extends operation from 0 up 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 SAUD100X60 Is Used
Twin-Spindle Drilling
Drives two synchronized machining heads from opposite rod ends with equal 3681 N thrust, maintaining parallel alignment without twisting.
Dual Transfer Pusher
Pushes parts on parallel conveyor lanes simultaneously using attachments fixed to both rod tips, saving space and extra valves.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X60 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 100mm bore when your application demands 3681 N of thrust and retraction equally. If you need less force, the 80mm bore delivers 2268 N both ways; stepping up is not possible as 100mm is the largest in this range. This double-rod design is the right call for synchronized lifting, anti-twist guidance, or driving two tools at once. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic sensors. For any stroke over 300mm, add external side-load guides to prevent rod binding.
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 SAUD100X60 FAQ
Because the 25mm rod exits both ends, the push and pull forces are identical. It generates 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 drifts without live air; the adjustable 29mm cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end. To hold a load securely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
