The AirTAC SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD80X290 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 290mm 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.
The AirTAC SAUD80X290 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A Ø25 mm rod exits both ends of the hard-anodized extruded aluminum barrel, meaning both faces use the rod-side area. The output is perfectly symmetrical, delivering 2268 N of force each way at 0.5 MPa. The unit features a 3/8" port, M20x1.5 rod threads, and 28 mm adjustable air cushions at both ends.
Because the rod protrudes at the rear, you can mount a sensor cam directly onto it, though this specific SKU lacks a magnet so it cannot take CMSG or DMSG switches. The profile design is notably shorter than a standard ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 80 mm bore.

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.

Related SAU-family variants: SAUD (double rod), SAUJ (adjustable stroke), SAUF (with built-in solenoid valve), and SAU-S with built-in magnet. Seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N. Sensor switches: CMSG / DMSG / EMSG.
Drives two synchronized gripping jaws from opposite rod ends to transfer heavy castings between machining centers.
Uses the dual rods to prevent piston twist during a 290 mm downward pressing stroke on aluminum housings.
Uses the back rod extension to mechanically trip a physical limit switch at mid-stroke for tool validation.
Choose this 80 mm bore when your application requires equal push and pull forces, such as anti-rotation guidance or driving two tools at once. Stepping down, the 63 mm bore provides 1402 N each way at 0.5 MPa; stepping up, the 100 mm bore yields 3681 N. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, and LB styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. At 290 mm stroke, external side-load guidance is recommended to prevent rod binding. Remember this SKU has no magnet, so magnetic sensing is impossible without a different variant.
Quick checklist
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. The 3/8" port and 28 mm cushions handle the flow for these loads.
No, a plain double-rod cylinder drifts without live air; the cushions only decelerate near the stroke ends. For secure load holding, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
