The AirTAC B04-SAUD Construction Machinery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B04-SAUD40X25S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 25mm stroke, 1/4" 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 B04-SAUD40X25S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. The B04- prefix marks this as AirTAC's construction-machinery dedicated variant of the SAUD40X25S, mechanically identical to the base model. Because a rod exits both ends, the push and pull forces are equal at 528 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel makes it shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. It features a 1/4" port and an M12x1.25 rod thread.
This unit includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The twin-rod design provides anti-rotation guidance and allows a sensor cam to ride on the back rod. Standard 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.
Equal bidirectional force drives and retracts a panel alignment tool on heavy machinery without stroke variance.
Twin-rod anti-rotation keeps the clamping jaw stable during vibration, while the back rod trips a DMSG sensor.
Compact profile fits tight equipment cells, cycling a test fixture at 30-800 mm/s with Viton H high-temp seals.
When sizing this double-rod unit, consider the neighboring bores: the 32 mm bore yields 345 N each way at 0.5 MPa, while the 63 mm bore provides 1402 N. Choose this 40 mm model when you need synchronized twin-tool driving or strict anti-twist guidance on heavy equipment. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. The -S magnet enables position sensing. Because the 25 mm stroke is short, side-load stress is minimal, but always guide external loads to prevent binding. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; use an external rod lock for secure load holding.
Quick checklist
The B04- prefix denotes the construction-machinery dedicated variant of the SAUD40X25S, sharing identical specs. Force is equal both ways: 528 N at 0.5 MPa, 739 N at 0.7 MPa, and 950 N at 0.9 MPa. It uses a 1/4" port and M12x1.25 rod thread.
The dual rods prevent rotation and allow mounting a sensor cam on the back end. The -S suffix means it has a magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Note that the air cushion only decelerates; it does not hold the load without live air.
