The AirTAC Airtac JSI Series Standard Cylinder JSI50X400 is a genuine double acting JIS-standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 400mm 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 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 50 mm bore JIS-standard profile cylinder saves valuable machine space by being noticeably shorter than an equivalent ISO 15552 unit. The extruded hard-anodized aluminum barrel omits external rods entirely, while a specialized two-way piston seal retains grease for extended, low-friction operation. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSE or DMSE position switches.
With a 400 mm stroke, plan for roughly 589 N of actual working load at 0.5 MPa to maintain a safe 0.6 ratio, which translates to lifting about 50 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The unit features a G1/4 port, an M18x1.5 rod thread, and 20.5 mm adjustable air cushions at both ends to smooth out deceleration.

Pushes medium-weight cardboard cartons across a packaging line, utilizing the 400 mm stroke to clear a wide conveyor belt.
Lifts approximately 50 kg of stacked metal trays between machine levels, requiring an external guide to stabilize the long rod extension.
Actuates a safety guard on an automated assembly cell, taking advantage of the compact JIS profile to fit within tight column clearances.
When sizing this 50 mm bore option, dropping down to a 40 mm bore reduces the push force to 628 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to a 63 mm bore increases it to 1559 N. For the 400 mm stroke specifically, you must account for side loads and rod-bending moments—using an external guide rail is strongly recommended to prevent premature seal wear. Because this is a non-magnet SKU, position sensing is unavailable unless you switch to an -S variant. Furthermore, standard air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends and will not hold a load if air pressure drops; install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for vertical safety.
Quick checklist
This 50 mm bore cylinder uses a G1/4 port and generates 982 N push / 825 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 1374 N push / 1154 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, because this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSE or DMSE switches. You must select the -S variant to enable side-groove sensor mounting.
