The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD50X25S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 25mm 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 SAUD50X25S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. Because a rod exits both ends, the push and pull output is identical, delivering 825 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel keeps the body shorter than an ISO 15552 unit of the same bore. This -S variant includes a piston magnet for position sensing.
With a 50 mm bore, 20 mm rod, and 1/4" port, it yields a safe working load of roughly 495 N. This equates to a vertical lift capacity of about 42 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The rear protruding rod is perfect for mounting a switch cam or driving twin tooling synchronously.

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 opposing pickers simultaneously so parts move in perfect sync without twist.
Uses the rear rod extension to trip an external limit switch for precise clamp verification.
Raises and lowers a 42 kg payload vertically with equal force and stable anti-rotation control.
Choose this 50 mm bore when you need 825 N of equal bidirectional force. If your project requires less thrust, the 40 mm bore provides 528 N both ways; for heavier drives, step up to the 63 mm bore for 1402 N. The double-rod architecture is ideal for anti-rotation guidance and carrying a sensor cam on the back rod. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. The built-in -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches. At a 25 mm stroke, side loads are minimal, but always guide external mechanisms to prevent binding.
Quick checklist
The force is equal in both directions due to the double-rod design. It provides 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. The air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end; they do not lock the position. To prevent drift on air loss, you must fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
