The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD50X105S 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 SAUD50X105S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 20 mm rod protrudes from both ends of the hard-anodized aluminum extruded barrel, meaning both faces use the rod-side piston area. This yields equal push and pull force of 825 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded profile is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 50 mm bore.
Because the rod exits the back, you can mount a sensor cam or trip a switch on the rear stroke. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 495 N (60% of the 825 N figure), translating to a vertical lift capacity of about 42 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The 1/4 inch port and M16x1.5 rod thread are fixed by the bore.

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 synchronized workpieces from one compact body, keeping force identical in both extend and retract motions.
Lifts up to 42 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, using the back rod to trigger a rear-mounted position switch.
Prevents mechanical twist during clamping without external guides, ensuring precise downstroke pressure every cycle.
When sizing this 50 mm bore, the neighboring 40 mm yields 528 N and the 63 mm yields 1402 N, both equal in both directions at 0.5 MPa. Select this double-rod unit when your mechanism requires anti-rotation guidance, needs to drive twin tooling, or benefits from back-end sensing. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, sharing compatibility with the AirTAC SC series. At a 105 mm stroke, side loads are minimal, but for any stroke over 300 mm you should use external guide rails to prevent binding. The -S magnet allows electronic or reed switch placement along the profile slot.
Quick checklist
The force is equal both ways because a rod exits both ends. It produces 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 equally.
No, a plain double-rod cylinder drifts without live air, as the adjustable 21 mm cushions only decelerate near stroke end. For a held load, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
