Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X10S
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X10S 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 SAUD40X10S
The AirTAC SAUD40X10S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A rod exits both ends, meaning both faces use the rod-side piston area to deliver an equal 528 N of thrust and pull at 0.5 MPa. The extruded hard-anodized aluminum barrel keeps the total length shorter than a standard ISO 15552 unit of the same 40 mm bore. This -S variant includes a piston magnet for position sensing.
With a 1/4" port and M12x1.25 rod thread, this unit provides a safe working load of roughly 317 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa figure) and can vertically lift around 27 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The rear protruding rod is perfect for mounting a switch cam. A plain pneumatic cylinder drifts without live air; the adjustable 21 mm cushions only decelerate near the ends, so add an external rod lock to hold loads securely.

Where the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X10S Is Used
Twin-Tool Transfer
Drives two synchronized gripping fingers from opposite rod ends to transfer small electronic components between conveyor belts without twisting.
Cam-Actuated Clamping
Uses the rear protruding rod to carry a switch cam, confirming clamp position while the front rod secures lightweight machined parts.
Short-Stroke Pressing
Applies an equal 528 N push and pull force to seat delicate film membranes into packaging trays over a precise 10 mm travel.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X10S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 40 mm bore if your application requires equal 528 N force in both directions, anti-rotation stability, or twin-tool driving. For lighter duties dropping to the 32 mm bore yields 345 N both ways, while stepping up to the 50 mm bore provides 825 N. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. The -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors. Because the 10 mm stroke is very short, side-load risks are minimal, but always guide external loads to prevent binding.
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 SAUD40X10S FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, 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. It uses a 1/4" port and never quotes a larger single-rod push value.
The dual rods prevent rotation and allow driving two tools at once. The -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors, and the rear rod can trip a switch directly.
