Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X240
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X240 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 240mm 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 SAUD63X240
The AirTAC SAUD63X240 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder featuring a 63mm bore and 240mm stroke. A piston rod exits both ends, meaning both faces use the rod-side area. This yields equal push and pull force, delivering 1402 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminium barrel keeps the unit shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. It uses a 3/8" port and an M16x1.5 rod thread.
This twin-rod design excels at anti-rotation guidance and driving two tools at once. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot take a magnetic sensor switch. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 841 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa figure), and the vertical lift capacity is about 71 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X240 Is Used
Twin-Tool Stamping
Drives two synchronized forming tools from one piston, using the equal both-ways force to press and retract identically.
Anti-Rotation Diverter
Uses the dual rods to prevent twist during lateral package diversion on a high-speed sorting line.
Dual-End Lift Gate
Lifts a 71kg vertical load using both rod ends to push and pull a synchronized material handling gate.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X240 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 63mm bore if you need 1402 N of equal bidirectional force at 0.5 MPa. Stepping down, the 50mm bore provides 825 N both ways, while stepping up to the 80mm bore yields 2268 N. A double rod is the right call when your mechanism requires anti-twist stability, synchronized twin-tool driving, or a back rod to carry a switch cam. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. At a 240mm stroke, side loads remain manageable, but always use external guide rails to prevent binding. Remember this plain SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot support 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 SAUD63X240 FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, 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. The 3/8" port supplies air to both chambers.
No. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it is not a brake. If air is lost, the load will drift. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a suspended load.
