Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X500
The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X500 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 500mm 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 SAUD63X500
The AirTAC SAUD63X500 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder with a 63 mm bore and 500 mm stroke. A rod protrudes from both ends, meaning push and pull forces are identical at 1402 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminium barrel keeps the unit shorter than a standard ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. It uses a 3/8 inch port and an M16x1.5 rod thread.
Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches. For elevated thermal demands, a Viton H seal upgrade extends the operating range from -20 to +70 C up to 0-150 C. Based on the 0.5 MPa output, the computed safe working load is roughly 841 N, which translates to a vertical lift capacity of about 71 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X500 Is Used
Twin-Tool Machining
Drives two opposing machining heads simultaneously with equal 1402 N force, ensuring perfectly synchronized material removal.
Anti-Rotation Transfer
Moves pallets along a conveyor without rotational twist, using the dual rods to maintain strict linear alignment over 500 mm.
Dual-End Sorting
Actuates a sorting flap from either end, allowing a single cylinder to push items left or right with identical thrust.
Is the Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X500 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this double-rod unit, compare it against neighbouring bores: the 50 mm provides 825 N, while the 80 mm yields 2268 N, both equal in both directions at 0.5 MPa. Choose the SAUD63X500 when a task demands anti-rotation guidance, twin tooling, or a back-end cam. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles compatible with the AirTAC SC series. Since the 500 mm stroke is substantial, always support the load with external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. Note that this non-magnetic SKU cannot host position sensors.
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 SAUD63X500 FAQ
The force is equal in both directions due to the double-rod design. It generates 1402 N at 0.5 MPa, 1962 N at 0.7 MPa, and 2523 N at 0.9 MPa. The unit features a 3/8 inch port and adjustable air cushions at both ends.
No. The air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not act as a brake. If air is lost, the load will drift. Use an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding.
