The AirTAC Airtac SAID40 Double Rod Cylinder SAID40AX125S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 125mm 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 SAID40X125-S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Because a rod exits both end covers, the annulus area is identical on extend and retract, yielding an equal 528 N of force each way at 0.5 MPa. The -S suffix indicates a magnet for position sensing, while the SUS420J2 stainless steel rod offers high corrosion resistance for harsh environments.
This through-rod design lets you mount the primary workpiece on one end and a secondary cam, guide, or position flag on the rear rod, providing dual-side guidance and superior anti-rotation control. It features adjustable air cushioning at both ends and extruded aluminum barrel sensor grooves on two sides for flexible switch mounting.

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 push-pull mechanism where equal 528 N thrust and matching speeds in both directions are critical for process timing.
Actuates a primary clamp on the front rod while the rear rod triggers a DMSE solid-state sensor for a confirmation signal.
Guides a precision slide using both rod ends, preventing torsional twist that a single-rod cylinder cannot constrain.
Choose this 40mm bore when an application requires symmetric force and speed in both directions, delivering 528 N at 0.5 MPa. If your mechanism needs less force, step down to the 32mm bore (345 N); if you need higher thrust, step up to the 50mm bore (825 N). The double-rod architecture is selected over a single-rod SAI when twin-station actuation or rear-rod sensing is required.
This cylinder uses a PT tapered port and supports mountings Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 (omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR). Note that the adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end; they do not hold a load. If position holding without live air pressure is needed, use an external pilot-operated check valve or consider the SAIL or BSAID series. At 125mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but always ensure the rod thread M12x1.25 is not subjected to unguided lateral forces.
Quick checklist
Because the double-rod design has the same effective area on both sides, it provides equal force in both directions: 528 N at 0.5 MPa, 739 N at 0.7 MPa, and 950 N at 0.9 MPa.
Yes, the SAID40X125-S is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. It uses a standard 40mm profile mounting interface and PT G1/4 ports, making it a direct drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 double-rod cylinders.
