The AirTAC Airtac SAID50 Double Rod Cylinder SAID50AX400 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 400mm 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 SAID50X400 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 50mm bore and 400mm stroke. Because a rod exits both end covers, the annulus area is identical on extend and retract, yielding an equal bidirectional force of 825N at 0.5 MPa. This through-rod design allows you to mount the primary workpiece on one end while attaching a sensor flag or cam to the opposite end for dual-side actuation.
This variant is configured with a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (material code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance and PT tapered port threads. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for direct mounting of position switches. Note that the overall length is greater than a single-rod SAI cylinder, requiring extra rear clearance for the protruding rod.

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.
Ideal for transferring parts across a conveyor where the 825N push and pull forces must remain perfectly balanced during both extend and retract strokes.
The twin-rod design prevents piston rotation, providing precise linear guidance for straightening or press-fit operations without external guides.
Mount the work tool on the front rod and a position flag on the rear rod to trigger external sensors, keeping the primary workspace clear.
Select this 50mm bore model when an application demands equal push and pull forces—delivering 825N both ways at 0.5 MPa—along with superior anti-rotation guidance. If your mechanism requires less force, stepping down to the 40mm bore provides 528N each way, while upgrading to the 63mm bore yields 1402N. Because the stroke is 400mm, the extended rod length increases side-load leverage; for heavy off-center loads, adding an external guide rail is recommended to prevent rod-bearing bending.
Choose a double-rod SAID over a single-rod SAI when you need to drive twin stations or mount rear-position flags. Be aware that a plain SAID does not hold its load when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered—the piston will drift. For dead-stop holding without live pressure, consider the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAID (clamp-lock) variants. This model is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, using PT ports and mounting accessories from the SAID set: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2.
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 825N at 0.5 MPa, 1154N at 0.7 MPa, and 1484N at 0.9 MPa.
Yes, the SAID50X400 is dimensionally interchangeable with standard ISO 15552 profile cylinders. It supports the SAID mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2), but omits the FB, CA, CB, and CR brackets used only on single-rod types.
