Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD50X10S
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD50X10S 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 SAUD50X10S
The AirTAC SAUD50X10S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder featuring a 50mm bore and a 10mm stroke. Because a rod protrudes from both ends, the push and pull forces are equal, delivering 825 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum profile barrel makes it shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. This -S variant includes a piston magnet for position sensing.
With a 1/4" port and M16x1.5 rod thread, it offers adjustable air cushions at both ends. The 825 N output yields a safe working load of roughly 495 N, ideal for vertical lifts up to 42 kg with a 2:1 margin. A back rod can carry a sensor cam or drive twin tools, while the dual-rod geometry resists twist for non-rotating duties.

Where the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD50X10S Is Used
Twin-Tool Transfer
Drives two small pinch mechanisms simultaneously from one piston, ensuring perfectly synchronized part handling on short 10mm strokes.
Non-Rotating Clamp
The dual-rod geometry prevents mechanical twist during clamping, holding thin metal sheets securely without drift for precision spot welding.
Cam-Actuated Sensing
Uses the extended back rod to trip an external limit switch or carry a magnetic cam, providing a physical confirmation signal at stroke end.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD50X10S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 50mm bore (825 N at 0.5 MPa) when you need synchronized motion or anti-rotation guidance. If you need less force, the 40mm bore provides 528 N; for more power, the 63mm bore offers 1402 N. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, and LB styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. The -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. For this 10mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but always guide external loads to prevent binding.

- ✓ 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 SAUD50X10S FAQ
The force is equal in both directions because both faces use the rod-side area. It outputs 825 N at 0.5 MPa, 1154 N at 0.7 MPa, and 1484 N at 0.9 MPa. The 1/4" port supplies air to both chambers.
No. A plain cylinder drifts without live air, as the adjustable cushion only decelerates near the stroke end. For load holding, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
