Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD32X55
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD32X55 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 55mm 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 SAUD32X55
The AirTAC SAUD32X55 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 12mm rod exits both ends, 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 extruded hard-anodized aluminum barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 32mm bore.
This 55mm stroke unit uses a 1/8 inch port and M10x1.25 rod threads. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG sensors. The 345 N output at 0.5 MPa gives a safe working load of about 207 N, lifting roughly 18 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A Viton H seal option raises the operating ceiling to 150 C.

Where the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD32X55 Is Used
Synchronized Transfer
Drives two opposing grippers simultaneously to center and transfer small electronic components without rotational twist.
Twin Tool Punching
Carries matching stamping pins on both rod ends to punch identical hole patterns from opposite sides in one stroke.
Balanced Vertical Press
Applies a steady 345 N clamping force downward and retracts with identical power, preventing binding in light assembly jigs.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD32X55 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 32mm bore when you need 345 N of equal bidirectional force. For lighter duty, step down to a smaller bore; for heavier loads, step up to a 40mm bore providing 528 N both ways. A double rod is the right call for anti-rotation guidance, driving twin tooling, or mounting a switch cam on the back end. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles matching the AirTAC SC series. With a 55mm stroke, side loads are minimal, but always guide the load externally on longer travels. This non-magnet SKU cannot host sensors.
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 SAUD32X55 FAQ
Because the 12mm rod protrudes from both ends, force is equal in both directions. It generates 345 N at 0.5 MPa, 483 N at 0.7 MPa, and 621 N at 0.9 MPa. The 1/8 inch port supplies air to both chambers.
No. The adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends; they do not lock the position. On air loss, the load will drift. Use an external pilot-operated check valve or rod lock for secure holding.
