The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD32X300 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 300mm 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 SAUD32X300 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 12 mm rod exits both ends of the hard-anodized aluminum extruded barrel, meaning both faces use the rod-side piston area. This yields equal push and pull force of 345 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The unit is noticeably shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
With a 300 mm stroke, external side-load guides are recommended to prevent rod bending. Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot take a magnetic switch. The 1/8 inch port feeds the 21 mm adjustable air cushions at both ends. A computed buyer insight: 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 parallel pick-and-place fingers simultaneously from one piston, keeping tooling perfectly aligned without twist.
Uses the protruding back rod to physically strike a limit switch at stroke end, ideal for rigid sequence validation.
Lifts and lowers delicate electronics trays with equal force both ways, preventing chassis rotation during vertical moves.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, step down to avoid excess force or up if the 345 N at 0.5 MPa is insufficient. The neighboring 40 mm bore provides 528 N each way. Choose this double-rod configuration when your mechanism requires strict anti-rotation guidance, needs to drive two tools at once, or uses the back rod to trip a mechanical switch. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, and LB styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. For this 300 mm stroke, always support the load with external guides to prevent rod bending. Note that this specific SKU has no magnet (-S), so it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG sensors.
Quick checklist
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the force is equal in both directions. It outputs 345 N at 0.5 MPa, 483 N at 0.7 MPa, and 621 N at 0.9 MPa. The 1/8 inch port and 12 mm rods ensure balanced thrust.
No. The adjustable 21 mm cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends; they do not act as a brake. For load holding on air loss, you must fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
