Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD80X260
The AirTAC SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD80X260 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 260mm 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 SAUD80X260
The AirTAC SAUD80X260 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. Because a rod protrudes from both ends, the push and pull force is identical at 2268 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminium barrel keeps the unit shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. It features a 3/8 inch port, an M20x1.5 rod thread, and adjustable air cushions of 28 mm at both ends.
This twin-rod layout prevents piston rotation and allows driving two tools at once. Without the -S magnet option, this SKU cannot accept CMSG or DMSG sensors. For high heat up to 150 C, specify the Viton H seal.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø80mm)

| 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 SAUD80X260 Is Used
Twin-Spindle Drilling
Drives two synchronized machining heads simultaneously with equal force in both directions, preventing rotational twist during the cutting cycle.
Dual Transfer Pusher
Pushes parts from one lane to another using both rod ends, maintaining precise alignment without needing external linear bearings.
Mechanical Cam Tripping
Uses the extended rear rod to physically trigger a limit switch at a specific stroke position, ideal for environments where electronic sensors fail.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD80X260 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 80 mm bore, stepping down to the 63 mm version yields 1402 N of equal force, while stepping up to the 100 mm bore provides 3681 N. The double-rod architecture is the right choice when your mechanism demands strict anti-rotation guidance, synchronized twin-tool driving, or a rear rod to trip a mechanical switch. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, and LB styles compatible with the AirTAC SC series. Since this is a non-magnetized SKU, position sensing is unavailable. At 260 mm stroke, check your side-load limits and use external guide rails to prevent binding.
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 SAUD80X260 FAQ
The force is equal in both directions because it is a double-rod design. It outputs 2268 N at 0.5 MPa, 3175 N at 0.7 MPa, and 4082 N at 0.9 MPa.
No, a plain cylinder drifts without live air, and the adjustable cushion only decelerates near the stroke end. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold loads.
