Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD50X40
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD50X40 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 40mm 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 SAUD50X40
The AirTAC SAUD50X40 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder with a 50 mm bore and 40 mm stroke. Because a rod protrudes from both ends, the push and pull output is identical at 825 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum body is noticeably shorter than a standard ISO 15552 unit of the same bore, and mounting parts match the AirTAC SC series.
This specific SKU lacks the internal magnet, so it cannot host CMSG or DMSG sensors. The 1/4" port drives the unit at 30-800 mm/s. A computed buyer insight: the safe working load is roughly 495 N, which translates to a vertical lift capacity of about 42 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. For high-heat environments up to 150 C, specify the Viton H seal option.

Where the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD50X40 Is Used
Twin-Tool Stamping
Drives two synchronized forming punches from one piston, ensuring perfectly matched timing and equal 825 N thrust on both advance and retract strokes.
Anti-Rotation Lift
Lifts and lowers light jigs up to 42 kg vertically without twisting, using the dual rods to resist angular torque during transfer movements.
Symmetric Diverting
Pushes product from either side of a narrow lane using the opposing rod ends, maintaining identical clamping pressure in both directions.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD50X40 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 50 mm bore when you need 825 N of equal bidirectional thrust over a short 40 mm stroke. If your project requires less force, step down to the 40 mm bore delivering 528 N both ways; if you need more power, step up to the 63 mm bore providing 1402 N. A twin-rod design is the right call for anti-rotation guidance, driving dual tools, or mounting a switch cam on the back rod. You can mount it via basic, FA flange, or LB foot styles. Because this is a non-magnetized SKU, you cannot add sensors. The 40 mm stroke is short enough to avoid significant side-load bending, but always use external guides for any stroke reaching 300 mm or more.
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 SAUD50X40 FAQ
The force is equal both ways because of the double-rod design. 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 and 21 mm adjustable cushions handle speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
No, a plain cylinder drifts without live air, as the cushions only decelerate near the stroke end. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding. Also, this non-magnetized SKU cannot take sensors.
