The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD50X60S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 60mm 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 SAUD50X60S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder with a 50 mm bore and 60 mm stroke. Because a rod exits both ends, the push and pull force is equal at 825 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminium barrel makes it shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. It uses a 1/4 inch port.
This unit includes the -S magnet option for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You can mount a sensor cam on the back rod for compact signaling. The 825 N output yields a safe working load of roughly 495 N, or a vertical lift capacity of about 42 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. A Viton H seal option raises the operating temperature to 150 C.

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 pickup heads simultaneously with identical 825 N thrust in both directions.
Uses the extended back rod to trip a CMSG or DMSG switch directly without adding external brackets.
Holds a workpiece squarely using the dual-rod geometry to prevent torsional twist during press fit.
Select this 50 mm bore model when your application demands equal force in both directions, anti-rotation stability, or twin tooling driven from one piston. If you need less force, the 40 mm bore delivers 528 N each way; for more power, the 63 mm bore provides 1402 N at 0.5 MPa. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. The -S suffix enables solid-state or reed sensing. Since the 60 mm stroke is short, side-load risks are minimal, but always guide external loads to prevent binding.
Quick checklist
The force is equal in both directions due to the double-rod design. It generates 825 N at 0.5 MPa, 1154 N at 0.7 MPa, and 1484 N at 0.9 MPa. The 1/4 inch port feeds both chambers equally.
No, a plain double-rod cylinder drifts without live air. The adjustable 21 mm cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end. For secure load holding, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
