Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X170S
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X170S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 170mm 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 SAUD63X170S
The AirTAC SAUD63X170S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A Ø20 mm rod exits both ends of the hard-anodized aluminum barrel, meaning both faces use the rod-side area. Push and pull force are equal at 1402 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The 3/8 inch port feeds the 63 mm bore, operating at 30-800 mm/s.
Because the extruded profile body is shorter than a standard ISO 15552 unit of the same bore, it saves machine space. The -S suffix means a built-in magnet is present for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 841 N, or a vertical lift of about 71 kg with a 2:1 margin. Viton H seals can raise the -20 to +70 C range up to 150 C.

Where the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X170S Is Used
Synchronized Gripper Transfer
Drives two parallel pick-and-place grippers from one piston, keeping the tooling perfectly aligned without twisting during rapid part transfers.
Edge Guide Alignment
Uses the twin rods to push a web edge guide straight, preventing rotation and ensuring the material tracks correctly through a converting machine.
Rear Cam Position Sensing
Mounts a switch trip cam on the protruding back rod to confirm stroke completion in tight spaces where front-end sensors would collide with the workpiece.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X170S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 63 mm bore delivering 1402 N both ways when you need synchronized motion or anti-rotation guidance. If you need less force, the 50 mm bore gives 825 N; if you need more, the 80 mm bore gives 2268 N. A double rod is the right call for driving twin tooling or mounting a sensor cam on the back rod. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot, matching the AirTAC SC series. The -S magnet enables position sensing. For this 170 mm stroke, ensure external guides carry any side loads to prevent binding.
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 SAUD63X170S FAQ
The force is equal in both directions because both chambers carry a rod. It outputs 1402 N at 0.5 MPa, 1962 N at 0.7 MPa, and 2523 N at 0.9 MPa.
No, a plain double-rod cylinder drifts without live air; the adjustable cushions only decelerate near stroke end. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a load.
