The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD50X95 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 95mm 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 SAUD50X95 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. Because a rod exits both ends, the push and pull force is equal at 825 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel makes it shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. It uses a 1/4 inch port and an M16x1.5 rod thread.
This twin-rod design provides excellent anti-rotation guidance and lets you drive two tools at once. A computed buyer insight: the safe working load is about 495 N (60% of the 825 N figure), yielding a vertical lift capacity of roughly 42 kg with a 2:1 margin. This specific SKU has no magnet, so it cannot take a magnetic sensor switch.

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 synchronized pick-and-place grippers simultaneously from one piston, keeping cycle times fast and forces identical in both directions.
Uses the dual rods to prevent twist during web edge guiding, maintaining precise alignment without needing external linear bearings.
Fits into tight machine cells where a standard cylinder is too long, delivering 825 N of clamping force on both the extend and retract strokes.
Choose this 50 mm bore when you need 825 N of equal bidirectional force. If you need less, the 40 mm bore gives 528 N both ways; if you need more, the 63 mm bore provides 1402 N. A double rod is the right call for anti-twist guidance or twin-tool duty. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot, matching the AirTAC SC series. At a 95 mm stroke, side loads are minimal, but always guide the load externally on longer strokes. For high heat up to 150 C, select the Viton H seal. Add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if you need to hold a load on air loss, as the cushion only decelerates.
Quick checklist
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the force is equal in both directions. It outputs 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, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot take CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches. You would need the -S option for sensing, but you can still use the back rod to trip an external mechanical switch.
