The AirTAC Airtac SAID40 Double Rod Cylinder SAID40BX850 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 850mm 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 SAID40X850 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 40mm bore and an 850mm stroke. Because the piston rod extends from both end covers, the effective annulus area is identical on both sides. This yields perfectly symmetrical thrust, delivering 528N of force in both extend and retract directions at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch placement.
This specific configuration utilizes a SUS304 stainless steel rod (material code B) for superior corrosion resistance in humid or washdown environments. Ports are PT tapered thread. The rear rod protrusion allows you to mount a secondary cam, position flag, or drive a second mechanism while keeping the load guided against rotation. It supports adjustable air cushioning at both ends (30mm cushion length) to decelerate the piston smoothly.

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 where the equal 528N extend and retract forces at 0.5 MPa prevent speed fluctuations during bidirectional material handling.
The twin 16mm SUS304 rods keep a vertical sliding fixture perfectly guided across the 850mm stroke, resisting torsional twist without external rails.
Uses the protruding rear rod end to trip a mechanical limit switch or pilot valve, sequencing a secondary operation independently from the front workpiece.
Choose this 40mm bore when an application requires equal push and pull forces (528N at 0.5 MPa) alongside dual-side anti-rotation guidance. If your mechanism needs less force, stepping down to a 32mm bore provides 345N both ways, whereas a 50mm bore offers 825N for heavier loads. Unlike a single-rod SAI cylinder, this double-rod SAID variant is selected when you need to actuate twin stations or mount a rear sensor flag. To detect piston position, you would need the -S magnet variant to use AirTAC CMSE (reed) or DMSE (electronic) switches.
At 850mm, this stroke is near the maximum standard limit for a 40mm bore. For an unsupported length of this size, the 16mm rod and M12x1.25 thread face increased bending risks from side loads. An external guide rail is highly recommended to prevent premature rod-bearing wear. Note that a plain SAID does not hold position when air pressure is lost; for locking needs, consider the BSAID clamp-lock variant. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 and uses the Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 mounting set.
Quick checklist
Because the double-rod design subtracts the 16mm 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 SAID40X850 is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 and uses a standard mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2). It serves as a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 double-rod profile cylinders, provided you account for the rear rod clearance.
