Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU32X50
The AirTAC SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU32X50 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 50mm 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 SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU32X50
The AirTAC SAU32X50 is a double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 50 mm stroke. Its extruded aluminum barrel makes it shorter and more compact than a standard ISO 15552 unit of the same bore, saving valuable machine space. It delivers a push force of 402 N and a pull force of 345 N at 0.5 MPa, operating on a 1/8 inch port with a 12 mm carbon steel rod.
The 21 mm adjustable air cushions at both ends ensure smooth deceleration. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches.

Where the Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU32X50 Is Used
Small Part Ejection
Ideal for pushing lightweight molded plastic parts out of a machining center, utilizing the 402 N push force to reliably clear the work area.
Package Diverting
Acts as a compact diverter arm on a packaging line, where the short overall length prevents interference with passing conveyor traffic.
Is the Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU32X50 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, consider stepping down or up based on your force requirements. If you need less force, the next size down is unavailable in this series, making this the entry point. If your application requires more power, stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. For mounting, this cylinder shares identical accessories with the AirTAC SC series, including LB foot brackets, FA/FB flanges, and CA/CB clevises. Because this SKU lacks a magnet, position sensing is not possible without changing to an -S variant. Remember that a standard cylinder drifts if air pressure is lost; the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not function as a braking lock. For securing a load safely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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 SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU32X50 FAQ
The SAU32X50 features a 1/8 inch air port and an M10x1.25 rod thread. It generates a push force of 402 N and a pull force of 345 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 563 N, and at 0.9 MPa it is 724 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
This cylinder is shorter than an ISO 15552 unit but is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO standards. Mounting accessories must be from the AirTAC SC series, such as LB foot or FA flange brackets. Additionally, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
