The AirTAC SAI40 Standard Air Cylinder SAI40BX140S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 140mm 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 SAI40X140-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder offering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 879 N at 0.7 MPa. Its 140 mm stroke is well-suited for mid-range linear actuation tasks requiring reliable mid-force transfer. The extruded aluminum barrel design omits tie rods, providing a clean exterior that resists mechanical fouling in tight machinery spaces.
This specific configuration incorporates a SUS304 stainless steel rod (material code B) for superior corrosion resistance in humid or washdown environments. It includes a piston magnet (-S) for position sensing using CMSE or DMSE switches, which seat cleanly into the sensor grooves machined on both sides of the barrel. Fluid ports are PT tapered threads.

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.
Holds machined parts firmly against a fixture with 879 N of force at 0.7 MPa during milling or drilling operations.
Actuates a routing gate on a packaging line, using the 140 mm stroke to redirect boxes efficiently at operating speeds.
Opens and closes access doors on automated equipment, benefiting from the SUS304 rod's resistance to factory humidity.
If your application requires less force, stepping down to a 32 mm bore yields 563 N at 0.7 MPa, while stepping up to a 50 mm bore provides 1374 N at 0.7 MPa. At 140 mm of stroke, side-load risks are moderate, but using an external guide rail is recommended if the load is heavy or off-center. For direct replacements, match the 40 mm bore, 140 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and mounting accessory (like an FA flange or LB foot), and ensure the -S magnet is included if your PLC relies on position feedback.
Note that the adjustable air cushions at both ends only decelerate the piston near stroke end; they do not lock the rod. If the air supply is dropped or exhausted, the piston will drift. For safety applications requiring dead-load holding without live pressure, specify the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (bidirectional clamp-lock) variant instead of the standard SAI.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder generates 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 879 N.
Yes, the SAI40X140-S is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. You can drop it in by matching the 40 mm bore, 140 mm stroke, and G1/4 port dimensions to other ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
