Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD80X170S
The AirTAC SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD80X170S 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 SAUD80X170S
The AirTAC SAUD80X170S is a double-acting double-rod profile cylinder. A Ø25mm rod exits both ends, meaning push and pull forces are identical at 2268 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum body is notably shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. This unit includes the -S magnet option for position sensing.
With a 3/8 inch port and M20x1.5 rod thread, it delivers equal force in both directions. For high-temperature environments up to 150 C, specify the Viton H seal option.

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 SAUD80X170S Is Used
Twin Tool Driving
Drives two opposing forming tools simultaneously with identical 2268 N force, ensuring perfectly balanced stamping without rotational twist.
Anti-Rotation Transfer
Lifts and places heavy machined parts using the dual rod geometry to prevent mechanical binding and piston rod twist during transit.
Cam Trip Sensing
Uses the protruding back rod to physically trip an external limit switch, while the internal magnet works with DMSG sensors for dual confirmation.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD80X170S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 80mm bore over the smaller 63mm bore (1402 N each way at 0.5 MPa) if you need higher thrust, or step up from the 50mm bore (825 N). A double rod is ideal when you need anti-rotation guidance, want to drive twin tooling, or need a back rod to trip a switch. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, and LB styles matching the AirTAC SC series. The included -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors. Since the 170mm stroke is under 300mm, side-load guide concerns are minimal, but always support external linear bearings for heavy loads.
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 SAUD80X170S FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the force is equal in both directions. It outputs 2268 N 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.
No, a plain SAUD cylinder will drift if air is lost; the adjustable 28mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end. For true load holding, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
