Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD50X10
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD50X10 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 10mm 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 SAUD50X10
The AirTAC SAUD50X10 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder with a 50 mm bore and 10 mm stroke. A rod protrudes from both ends, meaning push and pull forces are identical at 825 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminium profile barrel makes it shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
This unit lacks the -S magnet option, so it cannot accept magnetic switches. The 1/4" port and M16x1.5 rod thread are fixed by the bore. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 495 N (about 60% of the 825 N figure), translating to a vertical lift capacity of about 42 kg with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD50X10 Is Used
Synchronized Transfer
Drives two parallel pick-and-place fingers simultaneously with equal push and pull force, preventing twist on short 10 mm strokes.
Anti-Rotation Stamping
Keeps a small marking head perfectly aligned during a rapid 10 mm indenting operation without needing external guide rails.
Twin Tool Clamping
Holds two separate workpieces from opposite sides at once, using the dual rods to ensure perfectly balanced clamping pressure.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD50X10 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 50 mm bore when you need 825 N of equal bidirectional force. Stepping down to the 40 mm bore yields 528 N both ways, while stepping up to the 63 mm bore provides 1402 N. The double-rod layout is ideal for anti-rotation guidance or driving twin tooling. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. Because this is a plain SKU without a magnet, you cannot mount sensors. For any load holding, add an external rod lock, as the cushions only decelerate.
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 SAUD50X10 FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the force is equal in both directions. It outputs 825 N at 0.5 MPa, 1154 N at 0.7 MPa, and 1484 N at 0.9 MPa on both the push and pull strokes.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet. You must select a -S version of the SAUD cylinder to use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches along the profile barrel.
