Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X80S
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X80S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 80mm 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 SAUD100X80S
The AirTAC SAUD100X80S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A Ø25mm rod exits both ends of the hard-anodized extruded aluminum barrel, meaning both faces use the rod-side area. This yields identical push and pull thrust of 3681 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The unit carries a built-in magnet for position sensing and uses a 1/2 inch port.
Because both ends carry a rod, the effective thrust is balanced for non-rotating or synchronized drives. The extruded profile is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. A Viton H seal option raises the operating ceiling 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 SAUD100X80S Is Used
Twin-Tool Stamping
Drives two matched forming tools simultaneously from opposite rod ends, ensuring perfectly synchronized contact on heavy press operations.
Anti-Rotation Diverter
Uses the dual-rod geometry to prevent mechanical twist during high-speed package sorting, eliminating the need for external linear bearings.
Cam-Triggered Clamping
Uses the protruding back rod as a mechanical cam to trip an external limit switch, confirming clamp position before the main machine cycle begins.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X80S the Right Cylinder?
For sizing, the SAUD100X80S provides 3681 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. Stepping down, the 80mm bore yields 2268 N both ways, while this 100mm unit is chosen when that extra thrust is mandatory. A double-rod layout is the right call for anti-rotation guidance, driving twin tooling, or mounting a switch cam on the back rod. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles matching the AirTAC SC series. The -S suffix means a magnet is present for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. Since the 80mm stroke is short, side-load stress is minimal, but always use external guides for strokes over 300mm.
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 SAUD100X80S FAQ
Because the piston rod protrudes from both ends, the force is equal in both directions. It generates 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, and 6626 N at 0.9 MPa on both the push and pull strokes.
No, a plain double-rod cylinder will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered. The adjustable 29mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends; they do not lock the load. For holding a suspended load, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
