The AirTAC Airtac JSI Series Standard Cylinder JSI40X180S is a genuine double acting JIS-standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 180mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its no-tie-rod, hard-anodized profile barrel is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore — a space-saver on tight machines.
Delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting JIS-standard profile cylinder saves valuable machine space by being noticeably shorter than an equivalent ISO 15552 unit of the same 40 mm bore. The extruded hard-anodized aluminum barrel omits external rods entirely to resist wear, while the two-way piston seal retains grease for a long, low-friction service life. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can drop CMSE or DMSE reed or electronic switches directly into the side grooves for position sensing.
With a 180 mm stroke, it connects via a G1/4 port and features a 16 mm carbon steel rod with an M14x1.5 thread. For practical sizing, plan for about 377 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which means it lifts roughly 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The adjustable 20.5 mm air cushions at both ends absorb kinetic energy near stroke end, operating reliably across 30-800 mm/s.

Pushes small cartons off a sorting line using 628 N of thrust, with the -S magnet confirming the 180 mm extend position.
Ejects lightweight molded parts from a 40 mm bore tool, benefiting from the compact JIS profile to fit tight mold bases.
Secures aluminum extrusions for a cutting saw, applying 528 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa during the retract cycle.
When sizing this 40 mm bore, stepping down to a 32 mm JSI drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 402 N, while moving up to a 50 mm bore increases it to 982 N for heavier cycles. Keep in mind that a standard pneumatic cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the piston will drift, and the end cushions only decelerate motion rather than locking it. For suspended loads that must remain fixed during air loss, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. At 180 mm of travel, side loads are minimal, but always guide the rod end to prevent premature seal wear.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder uses a G1/4 air port. It generates 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 879 N push and 739 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The JSI is a JIS-standard profile cylinder that is shorter and more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore, saving space without sacrificing the 180 mm stroke. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552.
