Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD80X180S
The AirTAC SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD80X180S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 180mm 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 SAUD80X180S
The AirTAC SAUD80X180S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 25mm rod protrudes from both ends of the hard-anodized aluminum barrel, meaning both faces use the rod-side area. This yields exactly 2268 N of thrust and pull at 0.5 MPa, with a 3/8 inch port and M20x1.5 rod thread.
Because the second rod prevents piston twist, it provides built-in anti-rotation guidance for rigid handling. The extruded profile is shorter than an ISO 15552 unit of the same bore. The -S suffix adds a piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG 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 SAUD80X180S Is Used
Twin-Tool Machining
Drives two opposing spindles simultaneously with equal 2268 N force, ensuring balanced material removal without rotational deflection.
Synchronized Transfer
Shifts parallel conveyor lanes using both rod ends to push and pull a dual-sided diverter plate at identical speeds.
Cam-Triggered Sorting
Uses the rear protruding rod to trip an external CMSG switch, confirming full extension while the front rod actuates the gate.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD80X180S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 80mm bore delivering 2268 N both ways when a job needs synchronized twin tooling or a back-end sensor cam. Stepping down, the 63mm bore gives 1402 N; stepping up, the 100mm bore yields 3681 N. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot styles matching the AirTAC SC series. The 180mm stroke is well within standard limits, but always use an external guide to absorb side loads. For load holding on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve, as cushions only decelerate.
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 SAUD80X180S FAQ
Force is equal in both directions because of the double-rod design. It delivers 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.
The dual rods prevent piston rotation, ideal for non-twist guidance or driving twin tools. The -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic switches for position feedback, and the compact extruded body saves space.
