The AirTAC Airtac JSI Series Standard Cylinder JSI40X50CA is a genuine double acting JIS-standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 50mm 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 unit is built around a JIS-standard extruded aluminium profile that is noticeably shorter than an equivalent ISO 15552 cylinder, saving valuable space on compact machinery. The hard-anodized barrel omits external rods to resist wear, while the two-way NBR piston seal retains grease for a long, low-friction service life. It features a G1/4 port and a 20.5 mm adjustable air cushion at each end.
For practical sizing, plan for around 377 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept CMSE or DMSE position switches. If your application requires end-of-stroke detection, you must select the -S variant instead.

Drives the folding arms on a medium-speed carton erector, using the 628 N push force to cleanly crease heavy cardboard.
Uses the CA clevis mount to swing a lightweight aluminum guide rail, sorting small parts flowing down a packaging line.
Acts as a pneumatic stop for empty pallets entering a stretch wrapper, holding position momentarily via the clevis joint.
When sizing this 40 mm bore, stepping down to a 32 mm JSI drops the push force to 402 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas moving up to a 50 mm bore increases it to 982 N. This model uses a CA clevis mounting accessory, ideal for pivoting articulations. Remember that the standard air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends; it will not hold a load vertically if air pressure drops. To prevent drifting when air is lost or a valve is centered, fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. At a 50 mm stroke, side-load stress on the 16 mm rod is minimal, so no additional guide is strictly required.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder has a G1/4 air port and an M14x1.5 rod thread. It 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.
The JIS-standard extruded profile makes this unit shorter and more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore, which helps reduce overall machine footprint. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552, but offers the same hard-anodized aluminum barrel durability.
