Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X1000
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X1000 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 1000mm 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 SAUD40X1000
The AirTAC SAUD40X1000 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder with a 40 mm bore and 1000 mm stroke. A 16 mm rod exits both ends, meaning push and pull forces are identical at 528 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminium body is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore, and it uses a 1/4 inch port with an M12x1.25 rod thread.
This SKU has no internal magnet, so it cannot carry CMSG or DMSG sensors. Based on the 528 N output, the safe working load is about 317 N, yielding a vertical lift capacity of roughly 27 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The 21 mm adjustable cushions decelerate the piston near stroke end, but a plain cylinder drifts without live air; use an external rod lock for load holding.

Where the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X1000 Is Used
Dual-Tool Transfer
Drives two synchronized pickers on a single piston to move parts across a conveyor belt without torsional twist.
Vertical Lift Station
Raises and lowers a 27 kg work platform with equal force both ways, using the back rod for a mechanical stop.
Guided Ejector
Ejects machined components from a fixture symmetrically, relying on the twin rods to prevent binding.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X1000 the Right Cylinder?
Select the 40 mm bore for medium thrust needs; step down to the 32 mm bore for 345 N, or up to the 50 mm bore for 825 N, both equal in both directions. A double rod is the right call when you need anti-rotation guidance, twin tooling, or a back-end cam. This model mounts via basic, FA flange, or LB foot, matching the AirTAC SC series. Because the stroke is 1000 mm, external guides are strongly recommended to prevent rod bending under side loads. Add the -S suffix if you require magnetic sensing.
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 SAUD40X1000 FAQ
Because the 16 mm rod exits both ends, the force is equal in both directions: 528 N at 0.5 MPa, 739 N at 0.7 MPa, and 950 N at 0.9 MPa. The 1/4 inch port supplies air to both chambers.
No, this specific SKU lacks the internal magnet, so CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches will not function. You must order the -S variant to enable magnetic position sensing.
