The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD50X375 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 375mm 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 SAUD50X375 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder with a 50 mm bore and 375 mm stroke. Because a rod exits both ends, the push and pull force is identical, delivering 825 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminium body is noticeably shorter than a standard ISO 15552 unit of the same bore. It features a 1/4 inch port, an M16x1.5 rod thread, and adjustable 21 mm air cushions at both ends.
This configuration provides a safe working load of roughly 495 N, which translates to a vertical lift capacity of about 42 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The twin-rod architecture prevents piston twist, making it ideal for non-rotating duties or driving two tools at once. As this SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG sensors. For high-heat environments up to 150 C, you can specify the Viton H seal option.

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 parallel pick-and-place heads simultaneously with equal push and pull force, keeping the stroke perfectly synchronized.
Raises and lowers a 42 kg vertical payload using the equal bidirectional force, relying on external guides to prevent rod bending.
Holds a machining fixture rigidly without twist during clamping, using the inherent torsional resistance of the dual-rod layout.
Choose this 50 mm bore when you need 825 N of equal bidirectional force. If your project requires less thrust, the 40 mm bore offers 528 N both ways; if you need more, step up to the 63 mm bore for 1402 N. A double-rod design is the right call for anti-rotation guidance, synchronized twin-tool driving, or mounting a switch cam on the back rod. Mounting hardware is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. Because the 375 mm stroke is fairly long, always use external guide rails to prevent rod bending under side loads. Note that this non-magnetic SKU cannot host sensors.
Quick checklist
The double-rod design yields equal force 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 and never quotes a larger single-rod push value.
No, a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the 21 mm adjustable cushion only decelerates near stroke end and acts as no brake. For a held load, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
