The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD50X700 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 700mm 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 SAUD50X700 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A rod protrudes from both ends, meaning both faces use the rod-side area. This yields equal force in both directions, delivering 825 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminium profile barrel makes it shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
With a 50 mm bore, the 1/4" port and M16x1.5 rod thread handle speeds of 30-800 mm/s. The equal output suits synchronized twin-tool duty. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 495 N, and vertical lift is about 42 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take a sensor switch.

Drives two parallel conveyor pickup heads at once, keeping them perfectly aligned over a 700 mm travel distance.
Powers a machining fixture where the twin rods prevent twist during vertical clamping and drilling operations.
Pushes a diverter blade from either side to route packages on a packaging line without reversing the whole assembly.
When sizing, the 50 mm bore provides 825 N equal force both ways at 0.5 MPa. If you need less power, the 40 mm bore gives 528 N; for more, the 63 mm bore offers 1402 N. Choose this double-rod unit for anti-rotation guidance or driving two tools at once. Mounting uses SC-series FA flange or LB foot brackets. Because the 700 mm stroke is long, use external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. This non-magnet SKU cannot host CMSG or DMSG sensors.
Quick checklist
The force is equal in both directions because both faces lose rod area. 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 feeds this double-acting unit.
No, a plain cylinder drifts on air loss. The adjustable 21 mm cushions only decelerate near stroke end. For a held load, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
