The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD50X105 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 105mm 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 SAUD50X105 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 20mm rod protrudes from both ends, meaning the push and pull forces are identical at 825 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminium barrel keeps the unit shorter than a standard ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 50mm bore. It features a 1/4 inch port and M16x1.5 rod threads.
This design excels in synchronized motion and non-rotating applications. Based on the 825 N output, the safe working load is roughly 495 N, yielding a vertical lift capacity of about 42 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. A high-temperature Viton H seal option extends operation up to 150 C. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG sensors.

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.
Uses the equal 825 N bidirectional force to raise and lower small platens without stroke variance between travel directions.
Drives two opposing grippers or tooling heads simultaneously from the front and back rods for synchronized part handling.
The dual-rod architecture prevents piston twist during clamping, ensuring rigid alignment for machining fixtures.
Choose this 50mm bore model delivering 825 N equal force when you need precise anti-rotation guidance or twin-tool driving from one piston. If your project requires less force, the 40mm bore provides 528 N both ways; for heavier loads, step up to the 63mm bore offering 1402 N. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. At a 105mm stroke, side loads are minimal, but always use external guides for longer strokes. This non-magnet version cannot host position switches.
Quick checklist
Because the 20mm rod exits both ends, the force is equal in both directions: 825 N at 0.5 MPa, 1154 N at 0.7 MPa, and 1484 N at 0.9 MPa. It uses a 1/4 inch port.
No, the adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends and do not act as a brake. For load holding on air loss, you must fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
