Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X800
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X800 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 800mm 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 SAUD40X800
The AirTAC SAUD40X800 is a double-acting profile-type cylinder featuring a 40 mm bore and an 800 mm stroke. A piston rod protrudes from both ends, meaning the push and pull output is identical. You get an equal 528 N of force each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel keeps the unit shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore, and it carries a 1/4 inch port.
This twin-rod geometry prevents twist during motion, making it ideal for non-rotating duties. Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept magnetic switches. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 317 N, which translates to a vertical lift capacity of about 27 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X800 Is Used
Dual Pusher Transfer
Synchronizes two packages simultaneously on a sorting line using equal push and pull force without twisting.
Twin-Spindle Lift
Raises and lowers a secondary machining head with identical force both directions for balanced vertical motion.
Long-Reach Ejector
Pushes finished pallets out of a forming press over the 800 mm travel while resisting angular deflection.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD40X800 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 40 mm bore if your application requires 528 N of equal bidirectional force at 0.5 MPa. Stepping down, the 32 mm bore yields 345 N each way; stepping up, the 50 mm bore provides 825 N. The twin-rod layout is the right call when you need anti-rotation guidance or want to drive two tools at once. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. At 800 mm, this long stroke demands external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. Note that without the -S suffix, magnetic sensing is impossible.
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 SAUD40X800 FAQ
Because the rod exits both ends, force is equal in both directions. It delivers 528 N at 0.5 MPa, 739 N at 0.7 MPa, and 950 N at 0.9 MPa. The unit features a 1/4 inch port.
No. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it is not a brake. If you need to hold a load on air loss, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
