Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD80X170
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.

About the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD80X170
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.

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 SAUD80X170 Is Used
Twin-Tool Stamping
Drives two synchronized forming punches from opposite rod ends, ensuring parallel contact without rotational twist.
Dual-End Diverters
Pushes a lane deflector from either side of a belt, using the symmetrical 2268 N force to reposition items accurately.
Vertical Lift Stops
Raises and lowers a pallet arrestor blade with equal push and pull strength, safely handling loads near 116 kg.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD80X170 the Right Cylinder?
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
- ✓ 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 SAUD80X170 FAQ
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.
