The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X100S 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 SAUD63X100S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 20 mm rod protrudes from both ends, meaning both chambers use the rod-side piston area. This yields perfectly equal output force in both directions, rated at 1402 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded hard-anodized aluminum barrel makes it shorter than an ISO 15552 unit of the same bore.
Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG electronic or reed switches. The 3/8 inch port drives a 30-800 mm/s speed range. For sizing, the 1402 N at 0.5 MPa translates to a safe working load of roughly 841 N, or a vertical lift capacity of about 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 tooling heads simultaneously with matched 1402 N force, ensuring perfectly synchronized material handling.
The dual-rod geometry prevents piston twist during clamping, delivering precise, non-rotating pressure for machining fixtures.
Uses the rear protruding rod to actuate an external limit switch, confirming blade position on packaging cutoff machinery.
Choose this 63 mm bore when your mechanism demands equal push and pull forces, such as twin-tool stations or non-rotating anti-twist guidance. The back rod is ideal for carrying a sensor cam or tripping a switch. If you need less force, the 50 mm bore provides 825 N both ways; if you need more, step up to the 80 mm bore for 2268 N. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. For this 100 mm stroke, external load guides are recommended to prevent side-loading damage. Note that a plain cylinder drifts without live air; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding.
Quick checklist
The force is equal in both directions because a rod exits both ends. It generates 1402 N at 0.5 MPa, 1962 N at 0.7 MPa, and 2523 N at 0.9 MPa. The 3/8 inch port and 20 mm rod ensure consistent push and pull thrust.
No, the air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends and do not act as a brake. The cylinder will drift without live air. For load holding, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
