Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X60
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X60 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 60mm 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 SAUD40X60
The AirTAC SAUD40X60 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 16mm rod exits both ends of the hard-anodized aluminum extruded barrel, meaning both faces use the rod-side area. This gives exactly 528 N of output force in both directions at 0.5 MPa. The unit is noticeably shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
This model features a 1/4" port and adjustable 21mm air cushions at each end. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG sensors. The 528 N @0.5 MPa figure yields a safe working load of roughly 317 N, or a vertical lift capacity of about 27 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X60 Is Used
Twin-Tool Transfer
Drives two opposing grippers simultaneously to pick and place parts from both sides of a conveyor.
Anti-Rotation Lift
Raises and lowers a small machining head while preventing mechanical twist during vertical travel.
Synchronized Pressing
Applies balanced clamping force from both ends to hold a workpiece steady during light assembly.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X60 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 40mm bore (528 N both ways) if your application needs synchronized twin tooling or anti-rotation guidance. For less force, the 32mm bore delivers 345 N; for more, the 50mm bore provides 825 N. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot, matching the AirTAC SC series. Since this specific SKU has no -S magnet, you cannot mount position switches. At a 60mm stroke, side loads are minimal, but always use external guides for longer strokes. Note that plain air cushions only decelerate; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a load securely.
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 SAUD40X60 FAQ
The force is equal in both directions because the 16mm rod exits both ends. It generates 528 N at 0.5 MPa, 739 N at 0.7 MPa, and 950 N at 0.9 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet option, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the SAUD40X60-S variant for sensing.
