The AirTAC Airtac SAID40 Double Rod Cylinder SAID40BX210 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 210mm 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 SAID40X210 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 40mm bore and 210mm 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 0.5 MPa. The twin rods provide inherent anti-rotation guidance, allowing you to mount a primary workpiece on one end and a cam or position flag on the opposite rear rod.
This unit uses SUS304 stainless steel for both rods (material code B), offering superior corrosion resistance for harsh environments. It includes adjustable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly, and the extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides for mounting CMSE reed or DMSE solid-state switches. Note that the through-rod design makes the overall length longer than a single-rod SAI, requiring extra rear clearance.

Drives a transfer shuttle where equal push and pull forces (528N at 0.5 MPa) ensure consistent cycle times in both directions without pressure compensation.
Twin rods guide a vertical lifting slide, preventing twist and binding without requiring external linear bearings for the payload.
The front rod clamps a part while the protruding rear rod actuates a mechanical limit flag or secondary cam simultaneously.
Choose this 40mm bore when your application requires symmetric force and speed both ways, stepping up from the 32mm bore (which provides 345N each way at 0.5 MPa) or stepping down from the 50mm bore (825N each way). The double-rod architecture is selected over a single-rod SAI when you need dual-side guidance to prevent rotation, or when a rear rod must drive a secondary mechanism. The PT port threads and standard 210mm stroke make it a drop-in replacement for any ISO 15552 double-rod cylinder of the same dimensions.
Because the stroke is 210mm, the unsupported load length increases bending stress on the rod bearings; for heavy radial loads, use an external guide rail. A plain SAID does not hold its position if air pressure is lost—the piston will drift—so if dead-fall prevention is required, consider the SAIL lock or BSAID clamp-lock series. Mounting options for this cylinder include Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 (omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR).
Quick checklist
Because the double-rod design subtracts the rod area from both sides of the piston, the force is equal in both directions. It provides 528N at 0.5 MPa, 739N at 0.7 MPa, and 950N at 0.9 MPa for both extend and retract strokes.
Yes, the SAID40X210 is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. You can swap it directly for other ISO 15552 profile-type double-rod cylinders with a 40mm bore and 210mm stroke, matching the PT port and mounting interface.
