The AirTAC B04-SAUD Construction Machinery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B04-SAUD80X500S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 500mm stroke, 3/8" 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 B04-SAUD80X500S is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. The B04- prefix marks it as the construction-machinery dedicated variant of the SAUD80X500S, mechanically identical to the base unit. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push and pull force are equal at 2268 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminium profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
This 80mm bore model features a 25mm rod, M20x1.5 rod-end thread, and a 3/8" port. With a 500mm stroke, external guides are recommended to prevent rod bending under side loads. The -S suffix provides a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.

Double-rod model: the rod passes through the rear cover, so both piston faces lose rod area and push is shown at the annular-area value. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

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 heavy cab panels on earthmoving equipment with equal push and pull force, preventing twist during synchronized forming operations.
Uses the twin-rod design to flip aggregate routing gates on construction sites, ensuring stable non-rotating movement under heavy vibration.
Mounts a switch cam on the back rod to trip an electronic sensor, timing the precise release of precast concrete forms.
When sizing this double-rod unit, the 80mm bore delivers 2268 N equal force both ways. If less force is needed, the 63mm bore provides 1402 N; if more is required, the 100mm bore offers 3681 N. Choose this twin-rod architecture for anti-rotation guidance, driving two tools at once, or mounting a sensor cam on the back rod. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. Because the stroke is 500mm, always use external guides to manage side loads and prevent rod bending. The -S magnet supports reed or electronic sensing.
Quick checklist
The B04- prefix denotes the construction-machinery dedicated variant of the SAUD80X500S, sharing identical specs. Force is equal both ways: 2268 N at 0.5 MPa, 3175 N at 0.7 MPa, and 4082 N at 0.9 MPa. It uses a 3/8" port.
No, a plain cylinder drifts without live air. The adjustable 28mm cushions only decelerate near stroke end. For a held load, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
