The AirTAC Airtac SAID40 Double Rod Cylinder SAID40BX85S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 85mm 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 SAID40X85-S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 40mm bore and 85mm stroke. Because the piston rod extends from both end covers, the annulus area is identical on both sides, yielding exactly 528N of force in both extend and retract directions at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric output is ideal for mechanisms requiring consistent power and velocity regardless of travel direction.
Equipped with a magnet for position sensing, this variant uses SUS304 stainless steel rods for superior corrosion resistance. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible mounting of CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches. A rod protruding from the rear cover allows you to mount a secondary cam, position flag, or drive a second mechanism simultaneously.

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 528N output at 0.5 MPa must remain identical in both directions, preventing speed variations during continuous back-and-forth shuttling.
Uses the twin 16mm SUS304 rods to guide a vertical lifting slide, mechanically preventing platform twist without needing external linear bearings.
Mounts a physical cam on the rear rod end to trigger an external mechanical limit switch, while the internal magnet works with DMSE electronic sensors for primary positioning.
Select this 40mm bore when an application demands equal push and pull forces, specifically 739N at 0.7 MPa. If your mechanism requires less force, stepping down to the 32mm bore provides 345N at 0.5 MPa, while upgrading to the 50mm bore offers 825N. The double-rod design is chosen over a single-rod SAI when you need dual-side guidance to prevent rotation, or require a rear rod end for external tracking. Remember that the adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end; they do not hold a load. If static holding without air pressure is required, consider a SAIL lock cylinder or an external pilot-operated check valve.
As a dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 cylinder, it serves as a drop-in replacement for other standard profile cylinders. It uses PT tapered port threads (G1/4) and supports a reduced mounting set of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. The 16mm rod and M12x1.25 thread provide a robust interface for moderate side loads, though external guides are recommended for any heavy off-center loads.
Quick checklist
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, 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 extension and retraction.
Yes, it shares standard ISO 15552 mounting dimensions, making it a drop-in replacement for other profile cylinders. It supports Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 mounts, but omits FB, CA, CB, and CR.
