Airtac B04-SAUD Construction Machinery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B04-SAUD32X500S
The AirTAC B04-SAUD Construction Machinery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B04-SAUD32X500S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 500mm 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.

About the Airtac B04-SAUD Construction Machinery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B04-SAUD32X500S
The B04-SAUD32X500S is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. The B04- prefix marks this as the construction-machinery dedicated variant of the SAUD32X500S, mechanically identical to the base model. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area. Output force is equal in both directions, delivering 345 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminium profile barrel makes it shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
This 32 mm bore unit features a 1/8" port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and adjustable air cushions at both ends. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches. A Viton H seal option raises the operating temperature limit to 150 C.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 346 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 484 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 70 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 B04-SAUD Construction Machinery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B04-SAUD32X500S Is Used
Excavator Panel Pusher
Drives cabin panels on heavy equipment lines using equal push and pull force, preventing twist during long 500 mm transfers.
Crane Component Gauging
Uses the rear protruding rod to trip a CMSG sensor cam, verifying exact extension of construction machinery assemblies.
Loader Arm Alignment
Synchronizes twin tooling on both rod ends to align heavy-duty loader arms without rotational drift during welding.
Is the Airtac B04-SAUD Construction Machinery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B04-SAUD32X500S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this double-rod unit, compare both ways: step down to a smaller bore if load allows, or step up to the 40 mm bore (which provides 528 N both ways at 0.5 MPa) if you need more force. Choose a double-rod profile when your application demands anti-rotation guidance, synchronized twin-tool driving, or when you need a back rod to carry a sensor cam. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. Because this is a 500 mm stroke, external guides are recommended to prevent rod bending under side loads. The -S magnet enables position sensing.
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 B04-SAUD Construction Machinery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B04-SAUD32X500S FAQ
The B04- prefix designates this as the construction-machinery dedicated variant of the SAUD32X500S, with identical specs. Force is equal both ways: 345 N at 0.5 MPa, 483 N at 0.7 MPa, and 621 N at 0.9 MPa. It uses a 1/8" port.
No, a plain cylinder drifts without live air. The adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end. For secure load holding on construction machinery, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
