The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X200 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 200mm 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.
The AirTAC SAUD40X200 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 16 mm rod exits both ends of the hard-anodized aluminum barrel, meaning both faces use the rod-side piston area. This yields exactly 528 N of output force at 0.5 MPa in both directions. The extruded profile body is notably shorter than a standard ISO 15552 unit of the same 40 mm bore.
Because the rod protrudes at the back, you can mount a sensor cam or drive twin tooling while gaining anti-rotation stability. This non-magnet SKU cannot host CMSG or DMSG switches. The 1/4" port feeds a bore running 30-800 mm/s. A computed buyer insight: the safe working load is about 317 N, which translates to a vertical lift capacity of roughly 27 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.

Drives two opposing grippers simultaneously from one piston, utilizing the equal bidirectional thrust to push and pull parts evenly.
The dual-rod geometry prevents mechanical twist during vertical elevation, ensuring precise platen alignment without external guides.
Alternates a sorting flap back and forth on a packaging line, relying on the matched 528 N force to consistently divert items.
Choose this 40 mm bore if your application demands equal push and pull thrust, such as synchronized lifting or anti-twist guidance. It delivers 528 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, step down to the 32 mm bore offering 345 N; if you need more, step up to the 50 mm bore providing 825 N. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. At a 200 mm stroke, side loads remain manageable, but always use external guide rails for any heavier offset payload. Note that this specific model lacks a magnet and cannot support position sensing.
Quick checklist
The force is equal in both directions because both faces have a 16 mm rod. It generates 528 N at 0.5 MPa, 739 N at 0.7 MPa, and 950 N at 0.9 MPa. Never expect a larger single-rod push value from this unit.
No, a plain double-rod cylinder drifts without live air; the adjustable 21 mm cushions only decelerate near stroke end. For suspended loads, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
