The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X600S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 600mm 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 SAUD100X600S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A rod protrudes from both ends, meaning both faces use the rod-side piston area. This yields equal force in both directions, delivering 3681 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum profile barrel keeps the unit shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
This 100mm bore unit features a 1/2" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and adjustable air cushions at 29mm. The -S suffix denotes a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. A high-temp Viton H seal option extends operation to 150 C.

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 opposing machining heads simultaneously with perfectly balanced 3681 N force to ensure parallel cutting operations.
Lifts heavy vertical loads up to 188 kg safely, using the dual rods to prevent mechanical twist and maintain precise load alignment.
Uses the extended back rod to trip an external CMSG or DMSG sensor cam, confirming full extension on high-speed packaging lines.
Choose this 100mm bore if your task demands equal push and pull thrust, such as anti-rotation guidance or driving twin tooling simultaneously. The back rod can also carry a switch cam. If you need less force, the 80mm bore provides 2268 N each way at 0.5 MPa. If you need more, confirm from datasheet for larger custom setups. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. Because the 600mm stroke is long, always use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load damage.
Quick checklist
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the force is equal in both directions. It provides 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, and 6626 N at 0.9 MPa. The unit features a 1/2" port and a 25mm rod.
No, a plain cylinder drifts without live air, as the air cushion only decelerates near stroke end. For a held load, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The -S magnet enables electronic position sensing.
