Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD80X500
The AirTAC SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD80X500 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 500mm 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 SAUD80X500
The AirTAC SAUD80X500 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A rod protrudes from both ends, meaning push and pull forces are identical at 2268 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminium barrel keeps the unit shorter than a standard ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. It features a 3/8 inch port and M20x1.5 rod threads.
With a 500 mm stroke and 80 mm bore, this SKU has no internal magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG sensors. The adjustable 28 mm cushions decelerate the piston near stroke end, but an external rod lock is required to hold a load securely on air loss.

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 SAUD80X500 Is Used
Synchronized Transfer
Drives opposing conveyor arms simultaneously with equal push and pull force to move heavy pallets without twisting.
Twin-Tool Machining
Operates dual cutting heads from one piston, ensuring both ends strike the workpiece at identical depths instantly.
Balanced Pressing
Applies 2268 N of clamping pressure downward while extending an opposite rod to trip an external mechanical valve.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD80X500 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 80 mm bore delivering 2268 N equal force both ways at 0.5 MPa. If you need less power, the 63 mm bore provides 1402 N; for heavier duty, the 100 mm bore yields 3681 N. Select the double-rod format for anti-rotation guidance or driving twin tooling. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. Because this is a 500 mm stroke, external guides are recommended to prevent rod bending under side loads. This non-magnet version cannot host switches.
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 SAUD80X500 FAQ
Force is equal in both directions due to the double-rod design. It generates 2268 N at 0.5 MPa, 3175 N at 0.7 MPa, and 4082 N at 0.9 MPa.
No. This specific SKU lacks the internal magnet required for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must use external mechanical limit valves for end-position detection.
