The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD32X100 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/8" 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 SAUD32X100 is a 32 mm bore, 100 mm stroke double-acting profile cylinder with a rod extending from both ends. This configuration yields equal push and pull force, delivering 345 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum body is shorter than a standard ISO 15552 unit of the same bore. It uses a 1/8 inch port and M10x1.25 rod threads.
Because both faces share the same rod-side area, output is perfectly balanced. This provides a computed safe working load of roughly 207 N, or a vertical lift capacity of about 18 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The twin rods prevent rotation during travel and allow driving two separate tools. A Viton H seal option can extend the operating temperature up to 150 C.

Drives two small machining spindles simultaneously with equal push and pull force, ensuring balanced part loading and unloading.
Moves lightweight cartons along a belt line without twisting, using the rigid double-rod structure to maintain exact alignment.
Actuates opposing gripper jaws from a single compact body, relying on the anti-rotation properties of the dual rods.
Choose this 32 mm bore if your application needs precise anti-rotation guidance or synchronized twin-tool actuation within a compact envelope. It generates 345 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the smaller SAUD40 bore provides 528 N; stepping down further is not an option as 32 mm is the smallest available size. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. For any stroke over 300 mm, use external guide rails to prevent side-load binding.
Quick checklist
Because the piston rod exits both ends, the force is equal in both directions. It provides 345 N at 0.5 MPa, 483 N at 0.7 MPa, and 621 N at 0.9 MPa. The 1/8 inch port supplies air to both chambers.
No. The internal air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not act as a brake. For load holding, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
