Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X240S
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X240S 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 SAUD63X240S
The AirTAC SAUD63X240S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 63mm bore and 240mm stroke deliver an equal 1402 N output in both directions at 0.5 MPa. The 3/8 inch port feeds twin chambers, and because a rod exits each end, both faces use the identical rod-side area. This prevents the push-pull force mismatch of single-rod units.
The extruded aluminum profile is shorter than a standard ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. The -S suffix means a piston magnet is installed for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. At 0.5 MPa, the safe working load is roughly 841 N, and it can vertically lift about 71 kg with a 2:1 margin. A Viton H seal option raises the operating ceiling to 150 C.

Where the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X240S Is Used
Twin-Tool Transfer
Drives two opposing grippers simultaneously with matched force, ensuring parts stay centered during horizontal transfer.
Anti-Rotation Lift
The dual rods prevent piston twist during vertical elevation, keeping precision machining fixtures perfectly aligned.
Back-End Sensing
Uses the protruding rear rod to trip an external limit switch, providing a mechanical fallback to the magnetic sensor.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X240S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 63mm bore when your mechanism needs identical push and pull power. The neighboring 50mm bore provides 825 N both ways, while the 80mm bore offers 2268 N. Choose the SAUD63X240S for anti-rotation guidance, twin-tool driving, or mounting a switch cam on the back rod. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot brackets compatible with the AirTAC SC series. The -S magnet supports reed and electronic sensors. For this 240mm stroke, ensure external load guides are used to prevent side-loading damage.

- ✓ 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 SAUD63X240S FAQ
The double-rod design provides equal force in both directions: 1402 N at 0.5 MPa, 1962 N at 0.7 MPa, and 2523 N at 0.9 MPa. It never outputs a larger single-rod push value.
No, a plain cylinder drifts without live air. The adjustable cushions only decelerate near stroke end. For load holding, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
