The AirTAC Airtac SAID40 Double Rod Cylinder SAID40X175 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 175mm 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 SAID40X175 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 16mm carbon steel rod exiting both end covers. Because the twin rods occupy piston area symmetrically, the annulus effective area is identical on extend and retract. This yields an equal push and pull force of 528 N at 0.5 MPa (739 N at 0.7 MPa), ensuring highly balanced motion without the differential speeds seen in single-rod units.
A defining advantage of the through-rod layout is the ability to mount the primary workpiece on the front end while utilizing the rear rod extension for external guidance, a cam mechanism, or a position flag. The extruded aluminum barrel integrates sensor grooves on both sides for flexible mounting of AirTAC CMSE or DMSE switches, though this specific configuration ships without a magnet.

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.
Delivers identical 528 N push and pull forces to move loads back and forth without requiring pressure adjustments for differential areas.
The twin through-rods keep the piston assembly guided against twisting, making it ideal for lifting and straightening mechanisms that resist deflection.
The rear rod extension can drive an external cam or position flag, allowing secondary mechanism timing without interfering with the primary front work area.
Choose this 40mm bore when an application demands equal 528 N force and matching flow speeds in both travel directions, which is critical for synchronizing twin-station processes or preventing rotational drift. If your mechanism requires less force, the neighboring 32mm bore provides 345 N both ways; stepping up to the 50mm bore yields 825 N. Since this is a 175mm stroke, the 16mm rod and M12x1.25 thread provide robust resistance to side loads, but an external guide is recommended for heavy offset masses.
This model uses a PT tapered G1/4 port and operates at 30-800 mm/s. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, offering a drop-in replacement for other standard profile double-rod cylinders. Note that the overall length is longer than a single-rod SAI to accommodate the rear protrusion, so factor in extra clearance. The adjustable air cushions at both ends decelerate the piston near stroke end, but they do not lock or hold the load if air pressure is lost—use a SAIL or BSAID variant if position holding is required. Available mountings include Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.
Quick checklist
Because the double-rod design has the same effective annulus area on both sides, it provides an equal extend and retract force of 528 N at 0.5 MPa, 739 N at 0.7 MPa, and 950 N at 0.9 MPa.
Yes, the SAID40X175 is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 and serves as a drop-in replacement for other standard profile double-rod cylinders, utilizing a reduced mounting set of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.
