Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X60S
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X60S 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 SAUD40X60S
The AirTAC SAUD40X60S 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 piston area. This yields equal push and pull force of 528 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded profile body is noticeably shorter than a standard ISO 15552 unit of the same 40mm bore. It features a 1/4" port and M12x1.25 rod thread.
Because the -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet, this model is ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The twin-rod architecture provides excellent anti-rotation guidance and lets you mount a switch cam on the back rod. From the 528 N baseline, the safe working load is roughly 317 N, and it can vertically lift about 27 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X60S Is Used
Twin-Tool Transfer
Drives two synchronized pick-and-place grippers from one piston, keeping timing perfectly matched without external linkages.
Anti-Rotation Lift
Raises and lowers a 27kg workholding fixture smoothly, using the dual rods to resist twist and prevent load binding.
Cam-Triggered Clamping
Uses the protruding back rod to trip an EMSG sensor directly, confirming clamp position without adding external targets.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X60S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 40mm bore if you need 528 N of thrust in both directions. Sizing up to the 50mm bore gives 825 N each way, while dropping down to the 32mm bore provides 345 N. A double-rod design is the right call for synchronized twin-tool driving, non-rotating loads, or back-end sensor trips. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. The 60mm stroke is short enough to avoid guide issues, but for any stroke over 300mm you should add external side-load guides to prevent binding.
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 SAUD40X60S FAQ
Force is equal in both directions because of 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. The 1/4" port and 16mm rod ensure consistent thrust on both faces.
No, a plain double-rod cylinder will drift without live air. The adjustable 21mm cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end. To hold a load securely, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
