The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD50X1000 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 1000mm 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 SAUD50X1000 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder featuring a 50mm bore and 1000mm stroke. Because a rod protrudes from both ends, the effective area is identical on each face, yielding an equal force of 825 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminium barrel keeps the unit shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. It uses a 1/4 inch port and an M16x1.5 rod thread.
This configuration suits non-rotating, synchronized drives or twin-tool setups. A computed buyer insight: the safe working load is roughly 495 N, allowing a vertical lift of about 42 kg with a 2:1 margin. This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take a magnetic switch. For high heat, Viton H seals raise the limit to 150 C. Live air is required, as the cushions only decelerate; add an external rod lock to hold loads.

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 workheads simultaneously from one piston, keeping stroke perfectly synchronized across a 1000mm span.
Lifts 42kg vertical loads with a 2:1 safety margin while the dual rods prevent twist without external linear bearings.
Pushes a diverter arm from the front while the back rod trips a mechanical flag at the exact same position.
Select this 50mm bore when you need 825 N of equal push and pull force. Sizing both ways: step down to a 40mm bore for 528 N, or up to a 63mm bore for 1402 N. A double rod is the right call for anti-rotation guidance or driving two tools at once. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. Because the stroke is 1000mm, you must use external guides to prevent rod bending and manage side loads. This non-magnet SKU cannot accept CMSG or DMSG sensors.
Quick checklist
Force is equal both ways because rods exit both ends. It delivers 825 N at 0.5 MPa, 1154 N at 0.7 MPa, and 1484 N at 0.9 MPa. The 1/4 inch port supplies air to both chambers.
No. This specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot take CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for magnetic sensing.
