Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X10
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X10 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 10mm stroke, 1/4" 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 SAUD40X10
The AirTAC SAUD40X10 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder featuring a 40mm bore and a 10mm stroke. Because a rod protrudes from both ends, the push and pull force is identical, delivering 528 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel makes it shorter than an ISO 15552 unit of the same bore. It uses a 1/4" port and an M12x1.25 rod thread.
This non-magnet SKU cannot accept a position sensor. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 317 N (about 60% of the 528 N figure), translating to a vertical lift capacity of around 27 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. A Viton H seal option extends the operating temperature range up to 150 C for demanding environments.

Where the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X10 Is Used
Twin-Tool Stamping
Drives two small marking punches simultaneously with identical 528 N force, ensuring balanced, non-rotating impact on thin metal stock.
Gripper Synchronization
Provides perfectly symmetrical opposing motion for clamping delicate electronic components during automated assembly transfer.
Divert Gate Actuation
Powers a short-stroke routing flap on a packaging line, using the compact profile body to fit within tight conveyor frame clearances.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X10 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 40mm bore when you need equal 528 N force in both directions over a very short 10mm travel. If you need less force, step down to the 32mm bore (345 N); if you need more, step up to the 50mm bore (1154 N at 0.7 MPa). The twin-rod design is ideal for anti-rotation guidance or driving two tools at once. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, and LB styles compatible with the AirTAC SC series. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot support magnetic sensing. As a double-rod cylinder, it does not hold the load without live air; the cushions only decelerate, so add an external rod lock for vertical holding.
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 SAUD40X10 FAQ
The force is equal in both directions because it is a double-rod design. It outputs 528 N at 0.5 MPa, 739 N at 0.7 MPa, and 950 N at 0.9 MPa. The 1/4" port supplies air to both chambers equally.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet (-S option), so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must use external mechanical limit switches for position detection.
