The AirTAC Airtac JSID Double Rod Cylinder JSID63X500 is a genuine double acting, double rod JIS-standard air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 500mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its no-tie-rod, hard-anodized profile barrel is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore — a space-saver on tight machines.
Delivering 1402 N of thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm bore double-rod cylinder uses a single piston with a rod exiting each cover to provide perfectly symmetric output force. The twin rods create an anti-rotation, stable load path while allowing you to drive tooling from the back end simultaneously. Built to JIS standards with an extruded hard-anodized aluminum profile barrel, it is significantly shorter than an equivalent ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
Featuring a 500 mm stroke and a G3/8 port, it handles speeds of 30-800 mm/s with 29 mm adjustable air cushions at both ends. Based on the 0.5 MPa output, you get a safe working load of about 841 N, which translates to roughly 71 kg lifted vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSE or DMSE position sensors.

Double-rod: the rod passes through both covers, so output force is equal in both directions.

Pushes a workpiece forward on one belt while simultaneously retracting a return arm on a parallel conveyor, using the equal force to keep both motions perfectly synchronized.
Drives a heavy machining fixture where the twin rods prevent twist under offset loads, maintaining precise alignment during a 500 mm clamping stroke.
Lifts a 71 kg vertical load using both rod ends to distribute weight evenly across the piston, ensuring smooth descent without binding over the long travel.
When sizing this double-acting unit, the 63 mm bore offers 1402 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. Stepping down to a 50 mm bore yields 825 N each way, while moving up to an 80 mm bore provides 2268 N. Choose this twin-rod layout when your application demands anti-rotation guidance, symmetric load distribution, or the ability to mount a sensor cam and tooling on the rear rod. It supports Basic, FA, LB, TC, TCM1, and TCM2 mountings. Because the stroke is 500 mm, you must use external guide rails to prevent rod bending under side loads. Also, remember this non-magnetic version cannot take switches; you need the -S variant for CMSE/DMSE sensing.
Quick checklist
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal in both directions using the pull-side area. It generates 1402 N at 0.5 MPa and 1962 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 286 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, and it uses a G3/8 port.
No, a plain cylinder drifts on air loss or when the valve is centered; the 29 mm adjustable cushions only decelerate near stroke end, so you need an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a load. Additionally, this SKU has no magnet and cannot accept CMSE or DMSE sensors—you must specify the -S variant for position sensing.
