The AirTAC Airtac SAI40 Standard Air Cylinder SAI40X400S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 400mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 cylinders in automation lines.
The AirTAC SAI40X400-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 40mm bore and 400mm stroke. It delivers a push force of 628 N and a pull force of 528 N at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for medium-duty handling tasks.
This variant includes a magnet for position sensing via CMSE or DMSE switches fitted into the dual sensor grooves on the extruded aluminum barrel. The standard carbon steel piston rod provides robust performance, while adjustable air cushions at both ends ensure smooth deceleration across the 30-800 mm/s speed range.

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.
Drives 400mm stroke pushers on packaging lines to transfer medium-weight cardboard cartons between adjacent conveyors.
Actuates diverter gates to route aluminum or steel parts based on size or material detection sensors.
Raises lightweight product trays or tote bins using external linear guides to manage the 400mm stroke side load.
Choose this 40mm bore when a 32mm bore (402 N push at 0.5 MPa) lacks sufficient thrust, but a 50mm bore (982 N push at 0.5 MPa) would be excessive. The 400mm stroke requires careful attention to side loads; long unsupported rods are prone to bending under lateral forces, so utilizing an external guide rail or a guided cylinder module is strongly recommended to prevent premature rod-bearing wear.
This profile cylinder is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, serving as a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 cylinders. To match this exact unit, select a 40mm bore, 400mm stroke, G1/4 PT port, and an LB or FA mounting accessory. Note that if an application must hold a load without live pressure, a plain SAI will drift; consider the SAIL or BSAI lock variant instead.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 40mm bore cylinder provides a push force of 628 N and a pull force of 528 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 879 N.
Yes, the SAI40X400-S is built to the ISO 15552 standard. Its profile barrel and mounting dimensions are interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders, making it a drop-in replacement.
