Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD32X160S
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD32X160S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 160mm 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 SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD32X160S
The AirTAC SAUD32X160S is a double-acting profile-type cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and 160mm stroke. Because a rod protrudes from both ends, the push and pull force is equal at 345N each way at 0.5MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel makes it shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
This unit includes a piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. With a 345N output, the safe working load is roughly 207N, translating to a vertical lift capacity of about 18kg with a 2:1 margin. It uses a 1/8 inch port, and the Viton H seal option raises the operating ceiling to 150C.

Where the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD32X160S Is Used
Synchronized Transfer
Drives two pick-and-place fingers simultaneously from one piston, keeping tooling perfectly aligned without twist.
Cam Trip Sensing
Uses the extended back rod as a cam to physically trigger an external limit switch for positive position confirmation.
Compact Ejector
Fits into tight machinery envelopes to push and pull small parts with identical 345N force in both directions.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD32X160S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32mm bore, step down or up using the equal both-ways force figures: the 32mm yields 345N at 0.5MPa, while the neighboring 40mm provides 528N. Choose this double-rod layout when you need anti-rotation stability, twin tooling, or a back rod to trip a switch. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, and LB styles matching the SC series. At 160mm stroke, side loads are minimal, but external guides are recommended for longer travels.
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 SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD32X160S FAQ
The force is equal in both directions because of the double-rod design. It outputs 345N at 0.5MPa, 483N at 0.7MPa, and 621N at 0.9MPa.
No, the air cushion only decelerates near the stroke end. To prevent drift on air loss, use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
