The AirTAC Airtac SAID32 Double Rod Cylinder SAID32X500S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 500mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders at the mounting interface.
The AirTAC SAID32X500-S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and 500mm stroke. Because the twin rods occupy both sides of the piston, the annulus area is identical in each direction, yielding an equal extend and retract force of 483N at 0.7 MPa. The included magnet (-S) directly supports AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state sensors.
This through-rod design allows you to mount the primary workpiece on the front end while attaching a position flag, cam, or secondary mechanism to the rear rod. It uses a carbon steel rod and PT tapered port threads, maintaining a dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 mounting footprint for direct compatibility.

Double-rod model: the rod passes through the rear cover, so both piston faces lose rod area and push is shown at the annular-area value. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

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 a transfer carriage with equal push and pull velocity, ensuring precise timing for parts moving between machining stations.
The twin-rod geometry resists torsional twisting under offset loads, keeping linear slides perfectly aligned without external rails.
Mounts the tooling on the front rod while using the rear rod protrusion to trigger DMSE electronic sensors for a compact feedback loop.
Select this 32mm bore when an application requires symmetric force and dual-side guidance rather than the uneven push/pull of a single-rod SAI. If you need less force, stepping down is not an option below 32mm in this series, but stepping up to the 40mm bore provides 739N both ways. For this 500mm stroke, the long unsupported length means side loads will induce rod-bearing bending; always use an external guide to prevent premature seal wear.
As a standard double-acting cylinder, the air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end and do not hold the load if air pressure is lost. For position holding without live pressure, consider an external pilot-operated check valve or the BSAID clamp-lock variant. To match this unit for an ISO 15552 replacement, specify the 32mm bore, 500mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT threads, and your required mounting accessory from the SAID set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2).
Quick checklist
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the effective piston area is the same on both sides. It generates an equal force of 345N at 0.5 MPa and 483N at 0.7 MPa in both the extend and retract directions.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable with standard ISO 15552 profile cylinders. It supports a specific subset of mounts including Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, but omits the FB, CA, CB, and CR styles used on single-rod variants.
