The AirTAC SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD80X170 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 170mm 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 AirTAC SAUD80X170 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A Ø25 mm rod exits both ends of the hard-anodized aluminum extruded barrel, meaning both faces use the rod-side piston area. This yields exactly 2268 N of thrust and pull at 0.5 MPa, 3175 N at 0.7 MPa, and 4082 N at 0.9 MPa. The 3/8 inch port feeds both chambers equally, and the unit runs at 30-800 mm/s with 28 mm adjustable air cushions at each end.
Because the rod passes through both end caps, output force is identical in both directions. This twin-rod geometry provides inherent anti-rotation resistance and lets you mount tooling on the back rod. The extruded profile body is notably shorter than an ISO 15552 unit of the same bore. This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG 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.

Drives two synchronized forming punches from opposite rod ends, ensuring parallel contact without rotational twist.
Pushes a lane deflector from either side of a belt, using the symmetrical 2268 N force to reposition items accurately.
Raises and lowers a pallet arrestor blade with equal push and pull strength, safely handling loads near 116 kg.
Choose this 80 mm bore when you need 2268 N equal force both ways and cannot tolerate rotational play. Stepping down, the 63 mm bore provides 1402 N each way; stepping up, the 100 mm bore delivers 3681 N. The SAUD80X170 is ideal for driving twin tools or carrying a switch cam on the rear rod. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. At a 170 mm stroke, side loads are manageable, but for any stroke over 300 mm you should add external guide rails to prevent binding. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts without live air; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if you need to hold a load during pressure loss.
Quick checklist
The force is equal in both directions because the Ø25 mm rod exits both ends. It provides 2268 N at 0.5 MPa, 3175 N at 0.7 MPa, and 4082 N at 0.9 MPa. It never produces a larger single-rod push value.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet (-S option), so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You can still use the protruding back rod to mechanically trip an external limit switch.
