The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD32X225S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 225mm 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 SAUD32X225S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 12mm rod protrudes from both ends of the hard-anodized extruded aluminum barrel, meaning both faces use the rod-side area. This yields exactly 345 N of thrust and pull at 0.5 MPa, ensuring perfectly symmetrical force both ways. The 1/8" port feeds the chambers, and the integrated magnet (-S) allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches to track position.
Because the twin rods prevent twist, this unit suits synchronized lifting and non-rotating tasks. The extruded profile is noticeably shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 32mm bore. 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. A 21mm adjustable air cushion decelerates the piston at both ends.

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 vertical lift platforms where the equal 345N force both ways prevents sagging or stalling on the return stroke.
Powers two opposing grippers or small forming tools simultaneously using the protruding rod at each end.
Uses the rear rod extension to physically trip a limit switch or carry a CMSG sensor cam in tight spaces.
Select this 32mm bore if your application requires equal push and pull forces, anti-rotation stability, or a sensor cam on the back rod. It delivers 345 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, step down to a 20mm bore, but if you need more, step up to a 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 -S magnet enables electronic or reed sensing. With a 225mm stroke, external guide rails are recommended to prevent side-load binding.
Quick checklist
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the force is equal both ways. It provides 345 N at 0.5 MPa, 483 N at 0.7 MPa, and 621 N at 0.9 MPa. It uses a 1/8" port and never quotes a larger single-rod push value.
No, a plain SAUD cylinder does not hold load without live air. The 21mm adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end. For secure load holding, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
