Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD80X20
The AirTAC SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD80X20 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 20mm 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 SAUD80X20
The AirTAC SAUD80X20 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder featuring a 80 mm bore and 20 mm stroke. A rod exits both ends, meaning both faces use the rod-side area. Output is equal in both directions at 2268 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
This unit has a 3/8 inch port and a 25 mm rod with an M20x1.5 thread. A Viton H seal option raises the operating ceiling to 150 C. This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take a magnetic switch.

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 SAUD80X20 Is Used
Twin Spindle Clamping
Drives two opposing workholding clamps simultaneously with equal 2268 N force to secure a machined part.
Dual Transfer Pusher
Pushes a component off the belt while the back rod retracts a diverter gate in perfect synchronization.
Anti-Rotation Lift
Raises a heavy 116 kg pallet straight up without twisting, using the inherent stability of the dual rods.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD80X20 the Right Cylinder?
For lower force needs, the 63 mm bore offers 1402 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. For higher output, the 100 mm bore provides 3681 N both ways. Choose this double-rod configuration when your application demands anti-rotation guidance, twin tooling, or a back rod to trip a switch. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, and LB styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG sensors. At a 20 mm stroke, side loading is minimal, but external guides are always recommended for stable travel.
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 SAUD80X20 FAQ
Force is equal both ways because both faces lose rod area. It generates 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 the 80 mm bore to deliver these figures.
No. The air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end; they do not act as a brake. The piston will drift on air loss. For vertical load holding, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
