Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD32X950
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD32X950 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 950mm 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 SAUD32X950
The AirTAC SAUD32X950 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 12mm rod exits both ends, meaning both faces use the rod-side area. This yields exactly 345 N of thrust and pull at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel keeps the unit shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 32mm bore. It uses a 1/8 inch port and M10x1.25 rod thread.
Because the rear rod protrudes, you can mount a sensor cam or trip a switch directly, though this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a switch. The equal force is ideal for synchronized twin-tool duty. 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 margin. A Viton H seal option raises the operating ceiling to 150 C.

Where the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD32X950 Is Used
Twin-Tool Transfer
Drives two identical grippers simultaneously from one piston, ensuring perfectly synchronized part handling across a 950mm span.
Anti-Rotation Pusher
The dual rods prevent twist during extension, keeping a precision machined pusher plate perfectly square against workpieces.
Cam Trip Mechanism
Uses the extended back rod to mechanically trip a limit switch at a specific position, independent of internal magnets.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD32X950 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, consider the neighboring bores: the 40mm bore provides 528 N both ways, while a smaller option is unavailable in this series. Choose the 32mm double-rod when you need strict anti-rotation guidance or twin-tool synchronization. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. Because this is a 950mm stroke, you must use external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. Finally, this SKU has no magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG 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 SAUD32X950 FAQ
The force is equal in both directions because the rod exits both ends. 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 feeds both chambers equally.
No. A plain cylinder drifts without live air; the adjustable 21mm cushions only decelerate near stroke end. For a held load, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
