Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X160
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X160 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 160mm 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 SAUD63X160
The AirTAC SAUD63X160 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A rod protrudes from both ends, meaning both faces use the rod-side piston area. Output is identical in extension and retraction at 1402 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The 3/8" port and M16x1.5 rod thread handle flows efficiently.
Built with an extruded aluminium barrel, this unit is shorter than a same-bore ISO 15552 cylinder. The twin rods prevent rotation and provide anti-twist guidance. The safe working load is roughly 841 N, allowing a vertical lift of about 71 kg with a 2:1 margin. This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take a sensor switch.

Where the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X160 Is Used
Twin-Tool Machining
Drives two opposing spindles simultaneously with equal 1402 N force, ensuring balanced material removal without torsional deflection.
Synchronized Transfer
Pushes a transfer carriage from either rod end, maintaining parallel tracking to prevent product jamming on the belt.
Anti-Rotation Lift
Elevates heavy pallets using the dual rods for geometric stability, preventing the load from twisting during vertical transit.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X160 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 63 mm bore delivering 1402 N both ways when you need synchronized motion or twin tooling. Step down to the 50 mm bore for 825 N, or up to the 80 mm bore for 2268 N if your project requires more thrust. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. For this 160 mm stroke, external guide rails are recommended to absorb side loads. Add the -S suffix variant if you require magnetic position sensing.
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 SAUD63X160 FAQ
Because both faces have a rod, force is equal both ways: 1402 N at 0.5 MPa, 1962 N at 0.7 MPa, and 2523 N at 0.9 MPa. The 3/8" port supplies air to achieve these figures.
No. A plain SAUD cylinder drifts without live air; the adjustable 21 mm cushions only decelerate near stroke end. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a suspended load.
