Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD32X170
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD32X170 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 170mm 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 SAUD32X170
The AirTAC SAUD32X170 is a double-acting double-rod profile cylinder with a 32mm bore and 170mm stroke. A 12mm rod exits both ends, meaning both faces use the rod-side piston area. This yields equal push and pull force, delivering 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 bore.
Because both rods share the load, the design resists torsional twist for non-rotating duties and lets you mount a sensor cam or drive twin tooling on the back end. 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. This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG switches. The 1/8" port and M10x1.25 rod thread are fixed by the bore.

Where the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD32X170 Is Used
Gripper Transfer
Drives a pick-and-place gripper where identical push and pull thrust keeps acceleration forces balanced during rapid part transfers.
Twin Tool Sync
Carries two opposing forming tools on each rod end to press and crimp small electronic contacts simultaneously without torsional twist.
Divert Gate
Actuates a lightweight routing flap on a packaging line, using the back rod to physically trip a mechanical limit switch.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD32X170 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 32mm bore if you need 345 N of equal bidirectional force. Sizing up, the 40mm bore provides 528 N each way; sizing down is unavailable as 32mm is the smallest standard SAUD option. A double rod is the right call when your mechanism requires anti-rotation guidance, synchronized twin tooling, or a back-end cam. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. At a 170mm stroke, side loading is minimal, but external guides are always recommended for stable travel. Remember this non-magnet SKU cannot host position sensors.
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 SAUD32X170 FAQ
The force is equal in both directions because the 12mm rod exits both ends. It generates 345 N at 0.5 MPa, 483 N at 0.7 MPa, and 621 N at 0.9 MPa. Never expect a larger single-rod push value from this double-rod profile cylinder.
No, a plain SAUD cylinder drifts on air loss or when the valve centers. The adjustable 21mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end, they do not lock it. For suspended loads, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
