The AirTAC JSID Double Rod Cylinder JSID40X50S is a genuine double acting, double rod JIS-standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 50mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its no-tie-rod, hard-anodized profile barrel is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore — a space-saver on tight machines.
Delivering 528 N of thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa, this 40 mm bore double-rod actuator uses a single piston with a rod exiting each cover to ensure perfectly symmetric load paths. The G1/4 port feeds the chamber, and because both faces share the identical rod-side area, push and pull forces remain equal at 739 N when running at 0.7 MPa. This JIS profile build is notably shorter than an equivalent ISO 15552 cylinder, using a hard-anodized aluminum extrusion instead of external steel bars.
The integrated -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE sensors to drop directly into the side grooves for precise end-of-stroke detection. Adjustable 20.5 mm air cushions decelerate the piston smoothly at both ends, though a plain pneumatic cylinder drifts on air loss, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if you need to hold a suspended load.

Drives two opposing pickers simultaneously from opposite rod ends, keeping cycle times synchronized without adding a second actuator.
Holds a measuring head steady across a short 50 mm stroke, using the twin rods to resist torsional twist during part inspection.
Stepping down, the 32 mm bore offers 345 N each way, while the larger 50 mm bore provides 825 N, making this 40 mm option the middle ground for moderate thrust. Choose the double-rod configuration when your mechanism requires anti-rotation stability, needs to drive two tools simultaneously from one actuator, or benefits from a symmetric load path. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, TC, TCM1, and TCM2 brackets. The -S suffix confirms the piston magnet is present for switch sensing. For this 50 mm stroke, side loads are minimal, but any application exceeding 300 mm of travel should incorporate an external guide to prevent rod binding.
Quick checklist
The force is equal in both directions because of the double-rod design. It generates 528 N at 0.5 MPa and 739 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 108 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is G1/4 and the rod-end thread is M14x1.5.
No, a standard pneumatic cylinder will drift and drop the load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. The adjustable 20.5 mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends and do not act as a brake. You must use an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve to hold a suspended load safely.
