Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD80X160
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD80X160 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 160mm 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.

About the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD80X160
The AirTAC SAUD80X160 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A rod exits both ends, meaning push and pull forces are equal at 2268 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 80 mm bore. It features a 3/8 inch port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and 28 mm adjustable air cushions at both ends.
This non-magnet SKU cannot take a sensor switch. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the cushions only decelerate, so use an external rod lock for held loads. Viton H seals raise the temperature limit to 150 C.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø80mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2268 N | 2268 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3175 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 463 kgf | |
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.

Where the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD80X160 Is Used
Twin-Tool Transfer
Drives two synchronized workpieces from one piston, using the equal force both ways to push and pull parts through a machining station.
Anti-Rotation Gauging
The dual rods prevent twist during extension, holding a precision gauge block perfectly flat against a machined surface.
Symmetric Clamping
Applies 2268 N of clamping pressure from both faces simultaneously, keeping a heavy casting centered without lateral drift.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD80X160 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 80 mm bore delivering 2268 N equal force when you need anti-rotation guidance or twin tooling. If you need less force, the 63 mm bore provides 1402 N both ways; if you need more, the 100 mm bore offers 3681 N. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, and LB types matching the AirTAC SC series. At 160 mm stroke, side loads are low, but always use external guides for rigid handling. This no-magnet model cannot accept CMSG or DMSG switches.
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 SAUD80X160 FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the force is equal in both directions: 2268 N at 0.5 MPa, 3175 N at 0.7 MPa, and 4082 N at 0.9 MPa. It uses a 3/8 inch port.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S magnet option for sensing.
