The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X950 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 950mm 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 SAUD100X950 is a double-acting double-rod profile cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 950 mm stroke. Because a rod exits both ends, the effective area is identical in each direction, yielding an equal force of 3681 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. The extruded hard-anodized aluminum barrel makes it shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. It features a 1/2 inch port and M20x1.5 rod threads.
This SKU has no magnet (-S omitted), so it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG reed switches. The standard TPU seals handle -20 to +70 C, while a Viton H option extends this to 0-150 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 synchronized machining heads from one piston, ensuring perfectly balanced cutting feed without torsional twist.
Powers opposing transfer arms that move parts across a conveyor simultaneously, keeping the payload centered.
Lifts heavy pallets straight up using the equal push and pull force, relying on external linear rails for stability.
When sizing this 100 mm bore actuator, note the equal both-ways thrust is 3681 N at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the 80 mm bore provides 2268 N both ways; if you need more, 100 mm is the largest available SAUD size. Choose this double-rod model for anti-rotation guidance, driving two tools at once, or mounting a cam on the back rod. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, and LB types compatible with the AirTAC SC series. Because the 950 mm stroke is long, always use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load damage.
Quick checklist
The force is equal in both directions because of the double-rod design. It outputs 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.
This SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot take magnetic switches. A plain cylinder also drifts on air loss; the 29 mm cushions only decelerate near stroke end. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a load.
