About the Airtac SAID100 Double Rod Cylinder SAID100BX550S
The AirTAC SAID100X550-S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder conforming to ISO 15552. A single piston drives a rod out of both end covers, yielding identical effective areas on extend and retract. This symmetry means you get 3681 N of force each way at 0.5 MPa, ensuring balanced thrust and velocity for demanding transfer tasks.
Configured with a SUS304 stainless steel rod (option B), this variant resists corrosion in harsh environments. The integrated magnet (-S) directly supports AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE solid-state sensors, while the extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides for flexible mounting.

Where the Airtac SAID100 Double Rod Cylinder SAID100BX550S Is Used
Symmetric Transfer
Drives a workpiece back and forth with perfectly matched 3681 N thrust on both strokes, ensuring consistent cycle times without force imbalance.
Anti-Rotation Slides
The twin-rod design prevents mechanical twisting during vertical or horizontal lifting, maintaining strict parallelism for precision tooling.
Rear-Cam Actuation
The protruding rear rod end directly operates an external mechanical valve or limit flag, synchronizing secondary processes without extra space.
Is the Airtac SAID100 Double Rod Cylinder SAID100BX550S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 100mm bore when a 80mm bore (2268 N at 0.5 MPa) lacks sufficient thrust for symmetric pushing and pulling. The twin-rod architecture is selected over a single-rod SAI when the application demands dual-side guidance, anti-rotation stability, or a rear rod end to mount a secondary cam or position flag. Mounting options include the SAID-specific set of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 (omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR).
Because the 550mm stroke exceeds 300mm, the extended unsupported rod length increases the risk of rod-bearing bending under heavy lateral loads; utilize an external guide rail to prevent premature wear. Note that the adjustable air cushions at both ends only decelerate the piston near stroke end and do not hold the load if air pressure is lost—use a SAIL or BSAID lock cylinder for position holding. This unit is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 as a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 double-rod cylinders.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SAID100 Double Rod Cylinder SAID100BX550S FAQ
Because the rod occupies both sides of the piston, the extend and retract forces are equal. It provides 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, and 6626 N at 0.9 MPa in both directions.
Yes. The SAID100X550-S is a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 double-rod cylinders. It uses a G1/2 port and PT tapered threads.
