Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X60S
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X60S 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 SAUD100X60S
The AirTAC SAUD100X60S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 25mm rod exits both ends, meaning both faces use the rod-side piston area. This yields identical push and pull thrust of 3681 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded hard-anodized aluminum barrel keeps the unit shorter than a standard ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 100mm bore.
Because the rear rod protrudes, you can mount a switch cam directly on it for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors (the -S suffix confirms the internal magnet is present). The 1/2-inch port feeds the chambers, while adjustable 29mm air cushions decelerate the load at each end.

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 SAUD100X60S Is Used
Twin-Tool Stamping
Drives two synchronized forming tools from one piston, ensuring parallel contact and equal 3681 N clamping force on both the extend and retract strokes.
Anti-Rotation Diverter
Uses the dual rods to prevent mechanical twist during high-speed lane diversion of heavy packaged goods on a packaging line.
Rear-Cam Sorting Gate
Mounts a DMSG sensor cam on the back rod to confirm gate position precisely, leveraging the compact profile to fit tight transfer stations.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X60S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 100mm bore over the neighboring 80mm bore increases your equal-both-ways thrust from 2268 N to 3681 N at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, dropping to the 80mm saves space. Choose this double-rod configuration when your mechanism requires strict anti-rotation guidance, needs to drive two tools simultaneously, or benefits from rear-rod sensor cam tripping. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. For load holding on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as the cushions only decelerate and cannot lock the piston.
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 SAUD100X60S FAQ
The double-rod design provides equal force both ways: 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 and never quotes a larger single-rod push value.
The twin rods prevent rotation and provide identical extend and retract forces. The -S suffix means it includes a magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches, and the rear rod can directly carry a sensor cam.
