The AirTAC SAI40 Standard Air Cylinder SAI40BX135S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 135mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders at the mounting interface.
The AirTAC SAI40X135-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 40mm bore and a 135mm non-standard stroke. It delivers 628N of push force at 0.5MPa and 879N at 0.7MPa, making it a robust choice for mid-range actuation. The extruded aluminum barrel design omits tie-rods, providing a clean exterior that drops into standardized ISO 15552 mounting interfaces.
This specific configuration includes a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod for superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments. It is equipped with a magnet (-S) for direct compatibility with CMSE and DMSE series sensor switches, which seat neatly into the dual-side grooves on the barrel. Ports are cut with PT tapered threads, and adjustable air cushions at both ends ensure smooth deceleration.

Related SAI-family variants: SAID (double rod), SAIJ (adjustable stroke), SAIL (with lock), SAIF (with valve), BSAI (enclasp / clamp-lock), and SAI-S with built-in magnet. Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B); seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N.
The SUS304 rod and 628N push force at 0.5MPa make this cylinder ideal for securing parts in machining centers where coolant splash would corrode standard carbon steel rods.
With a 135mm stroke, it provides the exact extended reach needed to push packages on a sorting line, retracting smoothly thanks to the dual adjustable air cushions.
The integrated -S magnet works seamlessly with DMSE switches in the barrel grooves to confirm gate positions on automated assembly machinery.
Selecting this 40mm bore over the smaller 32mm variant increases your 0.5MPa push thrust from 402N to 628N, while stepping up to the 50mm bore yields 982N. The 135mm stroke is a made-to-order length that falls outside the standard increments, requiring a non-standard stroke designation. For this specific length, side-load risks are minimal, but always ensure the load is guided externally if heavy eccentric forces are present.
Because this is a double-acting cylinder, it relies entirely on continuous air pressure to hold position; the piston will drift if pressure is lost or the valve centers. Do not depend on the adjustable air cushion to act as a brake or holding mechanism. For applications requiring true position holding without live pressure, consider the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (bidirectional clamp-lock) variants. Replacement is straightforward using standard ISO 15552 foot (LB) or flange (FA/FB) accessories, matching the 40mm bore, 135mm stroke, PT ports, and the -S magnet requirement.
Quick checklist
This 40mm bore cylinder provides 628N of push force and 528N of pull force at 0.5MPa. At 0.7MPa, the push force increases to 879N.
Yes, the SAI series is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. You can use existing mounting accessories like LB foot brackets or FA flanges. Note that this specific 135mm stroke is a non-standard, made-to-order length.
