Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X600S
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X600S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 600mm 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 SAUD40X600S
The AirTAC SAUD40X600S 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 yields equal push and pull force of 528 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The unit is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
Because this SKU includes the -S magnet option, it directly supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches. The rear rod can carry a sensor cam or drive two tools simultaneously. With a 528 N output, the safe working load is roughly 317 N, allowing a vertical lift of about 27 kg with a 2:1 margin. It uses a 1/4 inch port and Viton H seals can raise the temperature limit to 150 C.

Where the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X600S Is Used
Twin Tool Transfer
Drives two parallel pickers simultaneously from one piston, keeping stroke phases perfectly synchronized without extra linkage.
Cam Trip Sensing
Uses the protruding back rod to physically trip a CMSG or DMSG switch, confirming end-of-stroke position in tight spaces.
Anti-Rotation Lift
Prevents piston twist during vertical elevation tasks, maintaining precise angular alignment for delicate gripper jaws.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X600S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this double-rod unit, compare both directions: the 32mm bore provides 345 N each way, while the 50mm bore offers 825 N each way at 0.5 MPa. Choose this 40mm model for anti-rotation guidance, synchronized twin tooling, or back-end switch tripping. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, and LB types compatible with the AirTAC SC series. The -S magnet enables electronic position sensing. Because the stroke is 600mm, external guides are strongly recommended to prevent rod bending and manage side loads.

- ✓ 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 SAUD40X600S FAQ
The force is equal in both directions due to the double-rod design. It outputs 528 N at 0.5 MPa, 739 N at 0.7 MPa, and 950 N at 0.9 MPa on both the push and pull strokes.
No. The adjustable 21mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends; they do not lock the load. For secure holding on air loss, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
