Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD50X5
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD50X5 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 5mm 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 SAUD50X5
The AirTAC SAUD50X5 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. Because a rod exits both ends, the push and pull force is identical at 825 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded hard-anodized aluminum barrel makes it shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. It features a 1/4" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and adjustable 21 mm air cushions at both ends.
This twin-rod geometry provides rigid anti-rotation guidance and lets you drive two tools at once. Based on the 825 N output, the safe working load is about 495 N, yielding a vertical lift capacity of roughly 42 kg with a 2:1 margin. A high-temperature Viton H seal option extends operation to 150 C. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG sensors.

Where the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD50X5 Is Used
Twin-Tool Stamping
Drives two small stamping heads simultaneously with equal 825 N force, ensuring balanced impact without rotational twist.
Synchronized Transfer
Shifts lightweight parts across a short 5 mm gap using both rod ends for rigid, non-rotating lateral placement.
Compact Ejection
Ejects finished components from tight machinery cells where the short profile body saves valuable axial space.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD50X5 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 50 mm bore when you need equal 825 N force in both directions over a short 5 mm stroke. Sizing down, the 40 mm bore yields 528 N both ways; sizing up, the 63 mm bore provides 1402 N. A double rod is the right call for anti-twist guidance or carrying twin tooling. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, magnetic switches will not function. For any stroke over 300 mm, use external guide rails to prevent side-load wear.
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 SAUD50X5 FAQ
The force is equal both ways due to the double-rod design. It delivers 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 cushions are standard for this 50 mm bore.
No. The air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end; they do not lock the load. If pressure is lost, the piston will drift. For vertical load holding, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
