Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X260S
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X260S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 260mm 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 SAUD63X260S
The AirTAC SAUD63X260S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A 63 mm bore carries a 260 mm stroke, and because rods protrude from both ends, the output is 1402 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The 3/8 inch port supplies air to both chambers equally.
This extruded aluminum body is shorter than a standard ISO 15552 unit of the same bore. The rear rod can mount a switch cam, and the -S suffix denotes a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 841 N, yielding a vertical lift capacity of about 71 kg with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X260S Is Used
Synchronized Gripper Jaws
Drives opposing gripper fingers with identical force in both directions, ensuring parts are centered without rotational twist during handling.
Twin-Spindle Lifting
Lifts and lowers two machining spindles simultaneously, using the dual rods to maintain parallelism and prevent deflection under a 71 kg vertical load.
Cam-Triggered Cutting
Uses the back rod to trip an external limit switch, confirming blade position while the front rod actuates the cutting mechanism.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X260S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 63 mm bore when your application demands equal push and pull thrust, such as anti-rotation guidance or twin-tool drives. It delivers 1402 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the 50 mm bore offers 825 N; for more power, the 80 mm bore provides 2268 N. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. At a 260 mm stroke, ensure external guide rails carry any lateral load to prevent rod binding. The -S magnet enables position 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 SAUD63X260S FAQ
The force is equal in both directions because it is a double-rod design. It outputs 1402 N at 0.5 MPa, 1962 N at 0.7 MPa, and 2523 N at 0.9 MPa. The 3/8 inch port feeds both chambers.
No, the adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends; they do not lock the position. To hold a load securely on air loss, you must fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
