The AirTAC Airtac JSI Series Standard Cylinder JSI40X250 is a genuine double acting JIS-standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 250mm 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 40 mm bore cylinder is built for tight machinery layouts. As a JIS-standard profile unit, it is noticeably shorter and more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. The extruded hard-anodized aluminum barrel sheds external rods to resist wear, while the two-way piston seal retains grease for a long, low-friction service life. Operating speeds span 30-800 mm/s.
Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSE or DMSE position switches. For sizing real tasks, plan for roughly 377 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa (about 60 percent of the rated push), which equates to lifting a 32 kg part vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Air connects via a G1/4 port, and the M14x1.5 rod thread handles the 250 mm stroke extension.

Pushes lightweight cardboard cartons at 30-800 mm/s onto secondary packaging lines using 528 N of retract pull force.
Ejects molded plastic components from a 40 mm bore press, utilizing the 628 N push force to clear the tooling quickly.
Applies a controlled downward clamping load on assembly fixtures, safely lifting around 32 kg if the load must be raised vertically.
When sizing this 40 mm bore unit against its neighbors, note that a smaller JSI32 yields 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a JSI50 provides 982 N. If your machine experiences air loss or a centered valve, this standard cylinder will drift and cannot hold a suspended load; the adjustable 20.5 mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke ends rather than locking it. For secure vertical holding, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Since this model lacks the -S suffix, it has no internal magnet and cannot host magnetic sensors. If your application requires position feedback, select the JSI40X250-S variant instead. Additionally, with a 250 mm stroke, ensure adequate external guide rails to prevent rod bending under any side-loading conditions.
Quick checklist
The JSI40X250 delivers 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. It uses a G1/4 air port and features a 16 mm rod with an M14x1.5 thread.
It is a JIS-standard profile cylinder that is shorter and more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 40 mm bore. This space-saving design uses a hard-anodized aluminum extrusion without external rods, making it ideal for tight machine envelopes.
