The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD32X30S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 30mm 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 SAUD32X30S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A rod protrudes from both ends, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and generate identical push and pull thrust. This 32 mm bore unit delivers an equal 345 N of force each way at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 1/8 inch port and M10x1.25 rod threads. The extruded hard-anodized aluminum barrel makes it shorter than a standard ISO 15552 cylinder of the same size.
Because the -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet, you can mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches directly onto the body. The twin rods prevent rotation and provide anti-twist guidance, while the rear extension can carry a sensor cam or drive a secondary tool. 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.

Drives dual pick-and-place grippers simultaneously from both rod ends, ensuring perfectly synchronized part handling without twist.
Mounts a stamping die on the front face and a secondary marking tool on the rear, executing two operations in one compact stroke.
Uses the extended back rod as a mechanical cam to trip a limit switch, confirming blade position before the cutter engages the material.
Choose this 32 mm bore if your application demands equal 345 N thrust in both directions and strict anti-rotation control. Sizing up to the 40 mm bore raises the equal force to 528 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas dropping below to a smaller profile reduces the footprint but cuts the available thrust. The twin rods make this the right call for synchronized twin-tool duty or when you need a switch cam on the back end. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. The -S magnet enables electronic position sensing. Since the 30 mm stroke is very short, side-load risks are minimal, but always guide external loads on longer travels.
Quick checklist
The thrust is equal in both directions because the rod exits both ends. It produces 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 21 mm adjustable cushions support speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
No, a standard double-rod cylinder will drift if air pressure drops or the valve is centered. The adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends. For secure load holding, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
