The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X100 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 100mm 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 SAUD63X100 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 20mm rod exits both ends, meaning both faces use the rod-side piston area. This yields equal push and pull force of 1402 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel keeps the unit shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
This 63mm bore version uses a 3/8" port and M16x1.5 rod thread. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG sensors. For thermal extremes, Viton H seals raise the operating limit to 150 C. Based on the 0.5 MPa output, expect a safe working load near 841 N, or a vertical lift capacity of roughly 71 kg with a 2:1 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 opposing grippers simultaneously with identical 1402 N force, ensuring perfectly synchronized part handoff between stations.
The dual rods prevent piston twist during web guiding, maintaining precise 100mm linear corrections without lateral drift.
Applies equal clamping pressure from both ends of a workpiece, holding components securely for machining without deflection.
Choose this 63mm bore when you need 1402 N of equal force in both directions. If your project requires less thrust, step down to the 50mm bore delivering 825 N both ways. If you need more power, the 80mm bore offers 2268 N both ways. A double-rod design is the right call for anti-rotation guidance or driving twin tooling simultaneously. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. Since the 100mm stroke is under 300mm, side-load guide concerns are minimal. Note that this non-magnetized SKU cannot host position switches.
Quick checklist
The force is equal in both directions because both faces have a rod. It outputs 1402 N at 0.5 MPa, 1962 N at 0.7 MPa, and 2523 N at 0.9 MPa. The 3/8 inch port feeds this 63mm bore.
No. The adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends; they do not act as a brake. For load holding on air loss, you must fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
