The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X350 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 350mm 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 SAUD40X350 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 16mm rod exits both ends of the hard-anodized aluminum barrel, meaning both faces use the rod-side area. This yields exactly 528 N of thrust and pull at 0.5 MPa. The extruded profile body is noticeably shorter than an ISO 15552 unit of the same bore. It uses a 1/4 inch port and M12x1.25 rod threads.
Because the piston travels 350 mm, you must use external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG switches. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 317 N. In a vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin, it can manage about 27 kg. Note that the end cushions only decelerate the piston; they do not hold the load if air pressure drops.

Related SAU-family variants: SAUD (double rod), SAUJ (adjustable stroke), SAUF (with built-in solenoid valve), and SAU-S with built-in magnet. Seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N. Sensor switches: CMSG / DMSG / EMSG.
Drives two identical pickers in perfect synchronization, using the equal both-ways force to push and pull parts simultaneously.
Prevents piston twist during a pressing task, keeping the tool face perfectly aligned without needing external linear bearings.
Uses the extended back rod to actuate a mechanical diverter while the front rod pushes parcels onto a secondary belt.
Choose this 40mm bore if you need 528 N of equal force in both directions. Stepping up to the 50mm bore provides 825 N, while dropping down to the 32mm bore gives 345 N at 0.5 MPa. A twin-rod design is the right call when you need anti-rotation accuracy, want to drive two tools at once, or need a back rod to trip a switch. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. Because this is a 350mm stroke, external linear guides are required to handle side loads and prevent rod bending. Add the -S suffix variant if you need magnetic sensing.
Quick checklist
The double-rod design provides equal force in both directions: 528 N at 0.5 MPa, 739 N at 0.7 MPa, and 950 N at 0.9 MPa. It never produces a larger single-rod push value.
No. This specific SKU does not include a magnet. You must select an SAUD40X350-S model to use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position sensing.
