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.
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.

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 parallel pickers simultaneously from one piston, keeping stroke phases perfectly synchronized without extra linkage.
Uses the protruding back rod to physically trip a CMSG or DMSG switch, confirming end-of-stroke position in tight spaces.
Prevents piston twist during vertical elevation tasks, maintaining precise angular alignment for delicate gripper jaws.
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.
Quick checklist
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.
