The AirTAC Airtac JSID Double Rod Cylinder JSID50X900S is a genuine double acting, double rod JIS-standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 900mm 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 825 N of equal thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore double-rod actuator uses a single piston with a rod exiting each cover. That symmetric layout creates an identical pressure area on both faces, meaning push and pull forces match exactly at 1154 N when running at 0.7 MPa. This translates to a safe working load of about 495 N, which is enough to vertically lift roughly 42 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The extruded hard-anodized aluminum profile barrel keeps the unit more compact and noticeably shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
Because this is an -S variant, the piston carries a built-in magnet for direct mounting of CMSE or DMSE position switches into the side grooves. The G1/4 air port feeds the double-acting chambers, while adjustable 20.5 mm air cushions at both ends manage end-of-stroke deceleration. Note that this 900 mm stroke is a long extension; to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear, you must support the load with an external guide to absorb any lateral forces.

Uses the rod extending from both end covers to push a part forward on one belt while simultaneously retracting a fixture on a parallel belt.
Employs the symmetric load path of the twin rods to raise and lower a 42 kg platen without inducing uneven twisting on the piston.
Leverages the rear rod extension as a mechanical cam to trigger an external limit switch, backed up by the built-in CMSE magnetic sensors.
When sizing this 50 mm bore, stepping down to a 40 mm bore drops the equal-both-ways force to 528 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 63 mm bore increases it to 1402 N. Choose the double-rod architecture when your application demands anti-rotation stability, symmetric load distribution, or needs to drive two separate mechanisms simultaneously from one piston. The JIS-standard mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, TCM1, and TCM2 options. The -S magnet enables CMSE/DMSE sensing. For this 900 mm stroke, external load guiding is mandatory to prevent rod bending under side loads.
Quick checklist
The force is equal in both directions because the rod passes through both covers. It yields 825 N at 0.5 MPa and 1154 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 168 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a 50 mm bore, a 900 mm stroke, a G1/4 port, and adjustable cushions of 20.5 mm at each end.
No, a standard double-rod cylinder will drift and cannot hold a load without live air pressure. The adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends and act as a brake. To maintain a vertical position during air loss, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
