The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X290 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 290mm 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 SAUD63X290 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. It uses a 3/8 inch port and an extruded aluminum barrel that is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
Because both faces lose rod area, output is symmetrical, making it ideal for synchronized twin-tool or non-rotating duty. The back rod can also carry a sensor cam. This non-magnet SKU cannot host reed switches. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 841 N, and vertical lift is about 71 kg with a 2:1 margin.

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 two opposing grippers simultaneously to pick and place parts from both sides of a conveyor without rotational twist.
Raises and lowers a 71 kg workpiece platform with equal force in both directions, ensuring smooth descent without gravity bias.
Uses the extended back rod to mechanically trip a limit switch or cam, confirming stroke completion in a machining fixture.
Choose this 63 mm bore delivering 1402 N both ways when you need strict anti-rotation guidance or twin tooling. Stepping down, the 50 mm bore yields 825 N; stepping up, the 80 mm bore provides 2268 N. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, and LB brackets compatible with the AirTAC SC series. At 290 mm stroke, use external guide rails to prevent side-load wear. This SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG sensors.
Quick checklist
The force is equal in both directions because it is a double-rod cylinder. 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 equally.
No, the adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end and do not act as a brake. For load holding on air loss, you must fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
