The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD32X5S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 5mm 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 SAUD32X5S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a 5 mm stroke. A piston rod exits both ends, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and the output force is equal in both directions. This unit delivers 345 N each way at 0.5 MPa. It features a 1/8 inch port and an M10x1.25 rod-end thread. The extruded aluminum profile barrel makes it shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
Because this SKU includes the -S option, it has a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The rear protruding rod is perfect for carrying a sensor cam or tripping a switch, and the dual rods provide anti-twist guidance for synchronized tooling. Based on the 345 N output at 0.5 MPa, the safe working load is about 207 N, which translates to a vertical lift capacity of roughly 18 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. A Viton H seal option can raise the operating temperature to 150 C.

Drives twin gripping jaws simultaneously with equal push and pull force, ensuring perfectly synchronized clamping of small electronic components.
Uses the anti-twist rigidity of the dual rods to eject tiny parts from a mold cavity precisely without rotational drift over the 5 mm travel.
Uses the rear protruding rod as a switch cam to trip an external sensor, confirming the 5 mm stroke completion for process validation.
When sizing this double-rod unit, compare it against neighboring bores: the 32 mm bore yields 345 N both ways at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 40 mm bore provides 528 N both ways. Choose the SAUD32X5S when your application demands non-rotating anti-twist guidance, twin-tool driving, or back-end sensing. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. The -S magnet allows for electronic or reed sensing. Since the 5 mm stroke is extremely short, side-load concerns are minimal, but always ensure external guides carry any lateral loads.
Quick checklist
The force is equal both ways because a rod exits both ends. It provides 345 N at 0.5 MPa, 483 N at 0.7 MPa, and 621 N at 0.9 MPa. The unit uses a 1/8 inch port.
No, a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or a valve is centered. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding.
