The AirTAC B04-SAUD Construction Machinery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B04-SAUD40X450S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 450mm 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-SAUD40X450S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. The B04- prefix marks this as AirTAC's construction-machinery dedicated variant of the SAUD40X450S, sharing the exact same physical specs. 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 is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. This unit includes a piston magnet (-S) for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
The 1/4 inch port and 16 mm rod keep flow and strength balanced. A high-temperature Viton H seal option extends operation from 0 to 150 C. The 21 mm adjustable air cushions at both ends decelerate the piston near stroke end, but do not lock the load on air loss.

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 cab interior panels on heavy equipment with equal push and pull force, preventing twist during synchronized placement.
Carries twin tooling on both rod ends for construction machinery attachments, ensuring parallel actuation without rotation.
Uses the protruding rear rod to trip a CMSG or DMSG switch, confirming stroke completion in tight machinery bays.
When sizing this 40 mm bore against its neighbors, the 32 mm bore provides 345 N both ways, while the 63 mm bore offers 1402 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. Choose this double-rod model when your application demands anti-rotation guidance, synchronized twin-tool driving, or rear-rod switch tripping. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, and LB styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. Because the stroke is 450 mm, external guides are recommended to prevent rod bending under side loads. For load holding without live air, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as the cushion only decelerates.
Quick checklist
The force is equal in both directions because the 16 mm rod exits both ends. It outputs 528 N at 0.5 MPa, 739 N at 0.7 MPa, and 950 N at 0.9 MPa. The 1/4 inch port supplies air to both chambers.
The B04- prefix designates this as a construction-machinery dedicated variant of the SAUD40X450S, mechanically identical to the base model. The -S suffix means it has a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic or reed switches.
