The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD32X120 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 120mm 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 SAUD32X120 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 12mm rod exits both ends, meaning both faces use the rod-side piston area. This yields equal push and pull force of 345 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded hard-anodized aluminum barrel keeps the unit shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 32mm bore.
This SKU has no internal magnet, so it cannot carry CMSG or DMSG sensors. It features a 1/8 inch port, M10x1.25 rod threads, and 21mm adjustable air cushions at both ends. Based on the 345 N output, the safe working load is roughly 207 N, translating to a vertical lift capacity of about 18 kg with a 2:1 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 two synchronized pick-and-place heads from opposite rod ends for balanced inline component transfer.
Lifts small delicate assemblies under 18 kg without twisting, using the dual rods for strict linear guidance.
Uses the extended back rod to physically trip a mechanical limit switch or operate an external cam assembly.
Choose this 32mm bore if you need compact anti-twist guidance or twin-tool drive. It outputs 345 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. Sizing up, the 40mm bore provides 528 N; sizing down is not available as 32mm is the minimum. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. For the 120mm stroke, external guide rails are advised to prevent side-load binding. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot support magnetic sensing.
Quick checklist
Force is equal in both directions because a rod exits both ends. It delivers 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 air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends; they do not lock the load. If air is lost, the piston drifts. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding.
