The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD50X150 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 150mm 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 SAUD50X150 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A rod exits both ends, meaning push and pull forces are identical at 825 N each way 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 model delivers a safe working load of roughly 495 N, or a vertical lift capacity of about 42 kg with a 2:1 margin. The twin rods prevent rotation and allow driving two tools at once. Without the -S magnet option, this SKU cannot accept CMSG or DMSG sensors. For high heat up to 150 C, specify the Viton H seal.

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 separate workheads simultaneously from one piston, keeping operations perfectly synchronized without adding a second cylinder.
Lifts delicate flat panels straight up using the dual rods to prevent twist, ensuring the payload remains perfectly level throughout the 150 mm travel.
Pushes parts across a belt from both ends simultaneously, matching cycle speeds exactly to avoid jamming components against guides.
Choose this 50 mm bore when you need 825 N of equal force in both directions. If you need less power, the 40 mm bore provides 528 N both ways; if you need more, step up to the 63 mm bore for 1402 N. The twin-rod design is ideal for anti-rotation tasks or carrying a cam on the back rod. Mounting fits AirTAC SC series FA flange and LB foot brackets. At 150 mm stroke, side loads are moderate, but always use external guide rails to prevent binding. Remember that this plain SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host position sensors.
Quick checklist
Because the rod exits both ends, 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 air cushion only decelerates near stroke end; it does not lock the piston. To hold a load on air loss, fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
