Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD50X30
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD50X30 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 30mm 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 SAUD50X30
The AirTAC SAUD50X30 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder with a 50mm bore and 30mm stroke. A rod exits both ends, meaning push and pull forces are identical at 825 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel keeps the unit shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
This model features a 1/4" port and adjustable air cushions at both ends. Without the -S suffix, this SKU cannot accept magnetic sensors. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 495 N, allowing a vertical lift of about 42 kg with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD50X30 Is Used
Lift and Lower Jigs
Raises and lowers small machining jigs with equal force both directions, preventing gravity-induced drift during the return stroke.
Twin-Tool Punching
Drives two separate punching pins simultaneously from opposite rod ends for synchronized sheet metal perforation.
Non-Rotating Transfer
Moves delicate electronic components between conveyors with high anti-rotation stability due to the dual-rod geometry.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD50X30 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 50mm bore (825 N both ways) if you need compact anti-rotation guidance or twin-tool driving. Step down to the 40mm bore (528 N) for lighter loads, or up to the 63mm bore (1402 N) for heavier duty. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, and LB types compatible with the AirTAC SC series. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot use CMSG or DMSG switches. For load holding, add an external rod lock, as the cushion only decelerates.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ 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 SAUD50X30 FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, 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. The 1/4" port supplies air to both chambers.
No, this specific SKU does not have the -S magnet option, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for electronic position sensing.
