The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X70 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 70mm 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 SAUD100X70 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 25mm rod protrudes from both ends of the hard-anodized aluminum barrel, meaning both faces use the rod-side piston area. Output is therefore equal in extension and retraction, delivering 3681 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded profile body is notably shorter than a standard ISO 15552 unit of the same bore.
This 100mm bore unit features a 1/2 inch port and a 29mm adjustable air cushion at each end. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. For high-heat environments up to 150 degrees C, specify the Viton H seal.

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 synchronized forming tools simultaneously from opposite rod ends, ensuring perfectly balanced high-tonnage impact without rotational twist.
Uses both protruding rods to push and retract diverter gates on parallel packaging lines, maintaining equal clamping force in both directions.
Applies 3681 N of equal downward and upward force to seat heavy components, preventing guide bind during rapid 70mm travel cycles.
When sizing this double-rod unit, compare the 3681 N equal force at 0.5 MPa against the neighboring 80mm bore (2268 N both ways) and the fact that 100mm is the largest available SAUD size. Choose this twin-rod architecture when the application demands strict anti-rotation guidance, synchronized twin-tool driving, or a back-end rod to trip a mechanical switch. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot types, matching the AirTAC SC series. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts without live air; the cushion only decelerates near the stroke end, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding.
Quick checklist
Because the 25mm rod exits both ends, the push and pull forces are equal. This 100mm bore cylinder outputs 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, and 6626 N at 0.9 MPa in both directions. It uses a 1/2 inch port.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet option, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic switches. The extended back rod is ideal for tripping external mechanical limit switches instead.
