Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X225
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X225 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 225mm 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 SAUD40X225
The AirTAC SAUD40X225 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder featuring a 40 mm bore and 225 mm stroke. A 16 mm rod exits both ends, meaning both faces use the rod-side piston area. This yields exactly 528 N of force at 0.5 MPa in both directions. The extruded aluminium body is noticeably shorter than an ISO 15552 unit of the same bore. It uses a 1/4 inch port and adjustable 21 mm cushions at each end.
Because the rod protrudes at the back, you can mount a sensor cam directly on it, though this specific SKU lacks the internal magnet and cannot host a switch. For sizing, the 528 N output at 0.5 MPa translates to a safe working load of roughly 317 N, or a vertical lift capacity of about 27 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. You can also specify Viton H seals to push the operating temperature up to 150 C.

Where the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X225 Is Used
Dual-Tool Transfer
Drives two opposing pick-off fingers simultaneously, ensuring perfectly synchronized part ejection on an assembly line.
Anti-Rotation Lift
Lifts a 27 kg vertical payload using the equal push and pull force, relying on the twin rods to prevent carriage twist.
Cam-Actuated Clamping
Uses the extended back rod to mechanically trip an external limit valve at the precise end of the 225 mm stroke.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X225 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 40 mm bore if you need 528 N of equal bidirectional force at 0.5 MPa. Stepping down, the 32 mm bore provides 345 N both ways. Stepping up, the 50 mm bore offers 825 N. A double-rod design is the right call when your mechanism requires anti-rotation guidance, needs to drive two tools at once, or uses the back rod to trip an external switch. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. At a 225 mm stroke, side loads are moderate, but always guide the load to prevent rod binding. Remember that this non-magnetic SKU cannot support position 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 SAUD40X225 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 unit features a 1/4 inch port.
This SKU lacks the internal magnet, so it cannot host magnetic switches. Additionally, the air cushions only decelerate the piston; they do not hold a load. To prevent drift on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
