The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X950 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 950mm 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 SAUD63X950 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. A rod protrudes from both ends, meaning both faces use the rod-side area. This yields an equal push and pull force of 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 inch port and an M16x1.5 rod thread.
This 950 mm stroke length demands external guidance to prevent rod bending under side loads. Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot take a magnetic switch. For high heat up to 150 C, specify the Viton H seal option. A computed buyer insight: the safe working load is roughly 841 N, allowing a vertical lift of about 71 kg with a 2:1 margin.

Drives two synchronized pushers on a conveyor line, using the twin rods to move parts evenly without twisting.
Raises and lowers a 71 kg vertical load with equal force both ways, maintaining smooth balance throughout the 950 mm travel.
Shifts a heavy gripper carriage along a long bed, relying on the rigid double rod to prevent yaw during rapid strokes.
Choose this 63 mm bore when you need 1402 N of equal force in both directions over a 950 mm stroke. Step down to a 50 mm bore for 825 N, or up to an 80 mm bore for 2268 N. A double rod is the right call for anti-rotation guidance or driving twin tools. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot, matching the AirTAC SC series. At 950 mm, always use an external guide to absorb side loads and prevent rod bending. This non-magnet SKU cannot host sensors; add the -S suffix for CMSG or DMSG switches.
Quick checklist
The force is equal both ways because both ends carry a rod. It outputs 1402 N at 0.5 MPa, 1962 N at 0.7 MPa, and 2523 N at 0.9 MPa.
No. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the adjustable cushion only decelerates near stroke end. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a load.
