Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD32X250
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD32X250 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 250mm 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 SAUD32X250
The AirTAC SAUD32X250 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 at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminium barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 32mm bore. It uses a 1/8" port and adjustable 21mm cushions at each end.
Because both faces use the rod-side area, output is perfectly balanced. This yields a safe working load of roughly 207 N and a vertical lift capacity of about 18 kg with a 2:1 margin. The Viton H seal option extends operation to 150 C. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take CMSG or DMSG sensors.

Where the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD32X250 Is Used
Gripper Synchronization
Drives two opposing gripper jaws simultaneously from one piston, ensuring perfectly matched closing pressure.
Vertical Lift Stop
Raises and lowers a light 18kg fixture with identical force both ways, preventing gravitational drift during reversal.
Twin-Tool Stamping
Mounts a stamping head on the front rod and a return cam on the back rod to cycle two separate stations in unison.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD32X250 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 32mm bore (345 N both ways at 0.5 MPa) when you need anti-rotation guidance or twin tooling. For less force, the 40mm bore offers 528 N; for more, look elsewhere as 32mm is the smallest. Mounting uses SC-series FA or LB brackets. At 250mm stroke, add an external guide to prevent side-load wear. Since this is a non-magnet SKU, sensing is impossible.
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 SAUD32X250 FAQ
Force is equal in both directions because rods protrude from 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" port feeds both chambers.
No. The air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end; they do not lock. For load holding on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
