The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD32X165 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 165mm 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 SAUD32X165 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 12mm rod exits both ends, meaning push and pull forces are identical at 345 N each way when operating at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel keeps the unit shorter than a standard ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 32mm bore. It features a 1/8 inch port and M10x1.25 rod threads.
This twin-rod layout provides excellent anti-rotation guidance and lets you drive two tools at once. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG sensors. Based on the 345 N output, the safe working load is roughly 207 N, which translates 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 mirrored part handling.
Uses the inherent anti-twist rigidity of the dual rods to push a material stopper block without rotating.
Fits into narrow machine frames to eject small molded components equally well in both directions.
Choose this 32mm bore model delivering 345 N both ways when you need precise non-rotating motion in a tight space. If you need less force, the smaller SAUD20 is not an option as the series starts at 32mm; if you need more power, step up to the 40mm bore which provides 528 N each way. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. The 165mm stroke is under the 300mm threshold, so external side-load guides are less critical, but always ensure axial alignment to protect the seals.
Quick checklist
Because the 12mm rod exits both ends, the force is equal in both directions: 345 N at 0.5 MPa, 483 N at 0.7 MPa, and 621 N at 0.9 MPa. It uses a 1/8 inch port.
No, a plain double-rod cylinder drifts without live air; the adjustable 21mm cushions only decelerate near the stroke ends. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding.
