The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X230S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 230mm 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 SAUD63X230S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area. This gives you equal push and pull force of 1402 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminium barrel keeps the body shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. This unit includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.
With a 63 mm bore, the 3/8 inch port and M16x1.5 rod thread deliver balanced power. The equal force yields a safe working load of roughly 841 N, or a vertical lift capacity of about 71 kg with a 2:1 margin. You also get Viton H high-temperature seals as an option, raising the operating ceiling from 70 C to 150 C.

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 opposing grippers simultaneously with matched push and pull force to move parts between machining centers without rotation.
Powers two forming tools at once from a single piston, relying on the equal 1402 N force to deliver identical work on both ends.
Uses the extended back rod to physically trip a limit switch or carry a sensor cam, confirming stroke position on a packaging line.
Choose this 63 mm bore when your job demands equal force in both directions, like anti-rotation guidance or driving twin tools. Stepping down, the 50 mm bore gives 825 N each way at 0.5 MPa. Stepping up, the 80 mm bore provides 2268 N. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange and LB foot, matching the AirTAC SC series. At a 230 mm stroke, add external guide rails to absorb side loads and prevent binding. The -S magnet allows solid back-end sensing.
Quick checklist
Because a rod protrudes from both ends, the force is equal in both directions. It outputs 1402 N at 0.5 MPa, 1962 N at 0.7 MPa, and 2523 N at 0.9 MPa for both extension and retraction.
No. A plain SAUD cylinder drifts without live air, as the adjustable 21 mm cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end. For secure load holding, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
