The AirTAC Airtac SAID40 Double Rod Cylinder SAID40X120S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 120mm 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 SAID40X120-S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder. A single piston drives a carbon steel rod out of both end covers, yielding an identical effective area on extend and retract. This means you get 528 N of force in both directions at 0.5 MPa, ensuring perfectly symmetric speed and thrust.
Because this configuration includes a magnet (-S), it supports AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE solid-state electronic sensors via the dual-side barrel grooves. The twin-rod architecture is ideal for mounting a workpiece on the front while driving a cam, position flag, or secondary mechanism from the rear rod end.

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.
Equal 528 N thrust both ways makes it ideal for shuttle mechanisms that push and pull identical loads without speed variations.
The twin-rod architecture prevents piston rotation, providing stable guidance for precision machining or clamping fixtures.
Mount the primary tool on the front rod and use the rear protrusion to trigger CMSE or DMSE sensors for dual-side control.
Choose this 40 mm bore over the smaller 32 mm (345 N at 0.5 MPa) when you need higher symmetric thrust, or step up to the 50 mm bore (825 N) for heavier loads. A double-rod design is preferred over a single-rod SAI when the application demands superior anti-rotation guidance or dual-station actuation. The PT tapered port is G1/4. For mounting, use the reduced SAID set: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2 (FB, CA, CB, and CR are single-rod only). It is dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders.
Note that the adjustable air cushions at both ends only decelerate the piston near stroke completion; they do not hold a load. If your setup must maintain position without live air pressure, consider an external rod lock, a SAIL pneumatic lock, or a BSAID clamp-lock cylinder.
Quick checklist
It provides 528 N of force at 0.5 MPa and 739 N at 0.7 MPa. Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the annulus area is identical on both sides, meaning extend and retract forces are perfectly equal.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. However, SAID uses a specific mounting subset: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. It omits the FB, CA, CB, and CR mounts found on single-rod variants.
