Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD50X950
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD50X950 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 950mm 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 SAUD50X950
The AirTAC SAUD50X950 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A rod protrudes from both ends, meaning both faces use the rod-side piston area. This yields exactly 825 N of output force each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum body is shorter than a standard ISO 15552 unit of the same bore.
Because the twin rods resist torsional twist, it suits non-rotating guidance tasks. A computed buyer insight: the safe working load is roughly 495 N, allowing a vertical lift of about 42 kg with a 2:1 margin. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG or DMSG sensors. The 1/4" port and M16x1.5 rod thread are fixed by the 50 mm bore.

Where the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD50X950 Is Used
Elevator Stage Lift
Drives a vertical lifting platform where the twin rods prevent the carriage from twisting under offset loads.
Dual Transfer Pusher
Pushes parts on a conveyor using one rod while the opposite rod simultaneously retracts a secondary tool.
Long-Reach Gripper
Actuates a clamping jaw over a wide 950 mm span, relying on the dual rods for rigid, wobble-free travel.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD50X950 the Right Cylinder?
Select the 50 mm bore for 825 N equal force both ways. If you need less thrust, step down to the 40 mm bore for 528 N; for more power, step up to the 63 mm bore for 1402 N. Choose this double-rod layout when you need anti-rotation stability or twin tooling. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, and LB types, matching the AirTAC SC series. At 950 mm, this long stroke demands external guide rails to prevent rod bending under side loads. As a non-magnet SKU, switch position sensing is impossible without changing the model.
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 SAUD50X950 FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the force is equal in both directions. It delivers 825 N at 0.5 MPa, 1154 N at 0.7 MPa, and 1484 N at 0.9 MPa. It never produces a larger single-rod push value.
No. The air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends; they do not act as a brake. For load holding on air loss, you must fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
