The AirTAC Airtac SAID50 Double Rod Cylinder SAID50X280 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 280mm 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 SAID50X280 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 50 mm bore and 280 mm stroke. Because a carbon steel rod exits both end covers, the annulus area is identical on extend and retract. This yields equal force and speed in both directions, providing 825 N at 0.5 MPa and 1154 N at 0.7 MPa each way.
The twin-rod architecture allows you to mount the primary workpiece on one end and a position flag, cam, or secondary mechanism on the rear rod. It provides superior anti-rotation guidance compared to a single-rod SAI. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches (requires a magnet). Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.

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 push and pull operations requiring identical 825 N force both ways, ensuring consistent cycle times without pressure compensation.
The dual-rod design prevents piston rotation, guiding loads precisely over the 280 mm stroke without needing external linear bearings.
Mounts a cam or position flag on the rear rod end to trigger external DMSE solid-state sensors while keeping the primary work area clear.
Select this 50 mm bore when an application strictly requires symmetric force and anti-rotation guidance, stepping up from the 40 mm bore (528 N at 0.5 MPa) or stepping down from the 63 mm bore (1402 N at 0.5 MPa). A double-rod design is preferred over a single-rod SAI when you need to drive a secondary mechanism or sensor flag from the rear rod. The PT G1/4 port and M16x1.5 rod thread handle robust side loads. For a 280 mm stroke, the unsupported length increases; use an external guide to prevent rod-bearing bending under heavy offset loads.
This cylinder is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, acting as a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 double-rod cylinders. It uses adjustable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the piston. Note that a plain SAID does not hold its position or load when air is lost or exhausted; the piston will drift. For position holding without live pressure, consider an external rod lock, a SAIL (air-released lock), or a BSAID (clamp-lock) cylinder.
Quick checklist
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the effective piston area is the same on both sides. The force is equal for extend and retract: 825 N at 0.5 MPa, 1154 N at 0.7 MPa, and 1484 N at 0.9 MPa.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. It supports a specific mounting subset: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. It omits FB, CA, CB, and CR mounts, which are for single-rod SAI cylinders only.
