The AirTAC Airtac SAID40 Double Rod Cylinder SAID40AX325 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 325mm 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 SAID40X325 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 40mm bore and 325mm stroke. Because a rod extends from both end covers, the annular piston area is identical in both directions, yielding an equal extend and retract force of 528N at 0.5MPa. This symmetric thrust makes the unit ideal for synchronized dual-side actuation and maintaining balanced momentum.
Equipped with SUS420J2 stainless steel rods, this variant provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to standard carbon steel. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch mounting. It utilizes PT tapered port threads and adjustable air cushions at both ends to absorb impact energy near stroke limits.

Drives a transfer carriage with identical force and speed in both directions, ensuring stable cycling without momentum imbalances.
The twin-rod architecture prevents the piston from twisting under offset loads, guiding precision slides without external guide rails.
Mounts a primary workpiece on the front rod and a secondary cam or position flag on the rear rod to trigger external sensors.
Choose this 40mm bore when an application demands equal push and pull forces of 528N at 0.5MPa, stepping up from the 32mm bore (345N) for higher workloads, or down from the 50mm bore (825N) for a lighter footprint. A double-rod design is selected over a single-rod SAI when the mechanism requires twin-station actuation, rear-end position sensing, or superior anti-rotation guidance for the load. For a drop-in replacement, ensure the ISO 15552 mounting dimensions, 325mm stroke, and PT porting match your existing fixture.
At 325mm, this stroke requires careful attention to side-load dynamics; long unsupported rod lengths increase bending stress on the rod bearing, so an external guide rail should be used to prevent premature wear. Note that the adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston at end strokes and do not hold the load. If the assembly must maintain its position without live air pressure, consider a SAIL lock cylinder or an external rod lock.
Quick checklist
Because the double-rod design subtracts the rod area from both sides of the piston, the push and pull forces are equal. It generates 528N at 0.5MPa, 739N at 0.7MPa, and 950N at 0.9MPa in both directions.
Yes, the SAID40X325 is dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 profile cylinders. It uses the same mounting interface and PT G1/4 ports, allowing a seamless drop-in replacement for standard double-rod models.
