Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD32X500
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD32X500 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 500mm 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 SAUD32X500
The AirTAC SAUD32X500 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and a 500mm stroke. Because a rod protrudes from both ends, the push and pull force is identical, delivering 345 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminium body is noticeably shorter than an ISO 15552 unit of the same bore. It uses a 1/8" port and adjustable 21mm cushions at both ends.
This configuration provides a safe working load of roughly 207 N and can vertically lift about 18 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The twin rods prevent torsional twist during travel, making the unit ideal for synchronized dual-tool driving. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG sensors. For high-heat environments up to 150 C, specify the Viton H seal option.

Where the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD32X500 Is Used
Twin-Tool Stamping
Drives two synchronized forming punches from opposite rod ends to punch thin sheet metal simultaneously with equal 345 N force.
Transfer Pusher
Pushes cartons along a belt using one rod while the opposite rod carries a mechanical cam to trip an external limit switch.
Guided Vertical Lift
Lifts an 18 kg workpiece vertically using both rods to prevent torsional twist and maintain precise load alignment.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD32X500 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, the equal-force output is 345 N at 0.5 MPa. Stepping up to the 40mm bore yields 528 N, while dropping below 32mm is not standard for this series. Choose this double-rod architecture when your mechanism requires strict anti-rotation guidance or needs to drive two tools simultaneously. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series footprint. Because this model has no internal magnet, switch sensing is impossible without changing to a -S SKU. Finally, at a 500mm stroke, external side-load guides are strongly recommended to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
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 SAUD32X500 FAQ
The force is equal in both directions because both faces have a rod. It outputs 345 N at 0.5 MPa, 483 N at 0.7 MPa, and 621 N at 0.9 MPa. The unit operates at 30-800 mm/s and uses a 1/8" port.
No, a plain double-rod cylinder drifts without live air, as the cushions only decelerate near stroke end. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding. Also, add external guides for this 500mm stroke to prevent rod bending.
