The AirTAC Airtac SAID40 Double Rod Cylinder SAID40AX425S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 425mm 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 SAID40X425-S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 40mm bore and 425mm stroke. Because a rod exits both end covers, the annulus area is identical on extend and retract, yielding exactly 528N of force in both directions at 0.5MPa. Equipped with a magnet for position sensing, it operates at speeds of 30-800mm/s.
This variant uses a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (material code A) for superior corrosion resistance compared to standard carbon steel. The twin-rod architecture allows mounting a primary workpiece on the front rod and a cam, position flag, or secondary mechanism on the rear rod, providing dual-side guidance and excellent anti-rotation stability.

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 shuttle mechanism where the equal 528N force both ways ensures perfectly balanced motion during bi-directional product transfer.
The twin-rod design prevents piston rotation, keeping a precision machining slide guided straight without external rails.
Mounts the work tool on the front rod and a DMSE sensor flag on the rear rod, keeping the switch isolated from the main work area.
Choose this 40mm bore double-rod cylinder when your application requires identical push and pull forces (528N at 0.5MPa) or needs anti-rotation guidance that a single-rod SAI cannot provide. If you need less force, the 32mm bore offers 345N both ways; if your load demands more, step up to the 50mm bore for 825N. As a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it is dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 double-rod cylinders.
This model features PT tapered port threads and includes the -S magnet for use with AirTAC CMSE reed switches and DMSE solid-state electronic sensors. At 425mm stroke, the unsupported rod length increases side-load risks; use an external guide to prevent rod-bearing bending. Remember that the adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end—they do not hold a load. For position holding without live pressure, consider an external rod lock, SAIL, or BSAID clamp-lock cylinder.
Quick checklist
Because the double-rod design occupies piston area on both sides, the extend and retract forces are equal. It provides 528N at 0.5MPa, 739N at 0.7MPa, and 950N at 0.9MPa in both directions.
It uses a specific ISO 15552 mounting subset: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. It omits the FB, CA, CB, and CR brackets that are exclusive to single-rod SAI models.
