Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X180
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X180 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 180mm 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 SAUD63X180
The AirTAC SAUD63X180 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A rod protrudes from both ends, meaning push and pull forces are identical at 1402 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminium barrel makes it shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 63 mm bore. It uses a 3/8 inch port and has an adjustable air cushion of 21 mm at both ends.
Because both faces share the rod-side area, this bore delivers an equal 1962 N at 0.7 MPa and 2523 N at 0.9 MPa. The twin rods provide rigid anti-rotation guidance for carrying dual tools. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 841 N, allowing a vertical lift of about 71 kg with a 2:1 margin. A high-temperature Viton H seal option extends operation to 150 C.

Where the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X180 Is Used
Twin Spindle Drilling
Drives two synchronized machining spindles from one piston, using the equal both-ways force to push and retract cutting tools simultaneously.
Dual Transfer Pushers
Mounts opposing pusher fingers on both rod ends to index parts on parallel conveyor lanes without twisting the assembly.
Balanced Lift Stations
Lifts 71 kg vertical loads with a 2:1 safety margin, relying on the dual rods to keep the platform perfectly level during travel.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X180 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 63 mm bore when you need 1402 N of equal force in both directions, stepping up from the 50 mm bore (825 N) or down from the 80 mm bore (2268 N). A double rod is the right choice for anti-rotation stability, driving twin tooling, or mounting a sensor cam on the back end. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot brackets, matching the AirTAC SC series. For this 180 mm stroke, external guide rails help absorb side loads and prevent binding. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG switches.
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 SAUD63X180 FAQ
The force is equal in both directions because a rod exits both ends. It outputs 1402 N at 0.5 MPa, 1962 N at 0.7 MPa, and 2523 N at 0.9 MPa. The bore uses a 3/8 inch port.
No, the adjustable 21 mm cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and does not lock the load. To prevent drift on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
