The AirTAC Airtac JSI Series Standard Cylinder JSI50X400S 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 JIS-standard profile cylinder saves valuable machine space by being noticeably shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 50 mm bore. The extruded hard-anodized aluminum barrel omits external rods to resist wear, while the two-way piston seal retains grease for a long, low-friction service life. Because the -S suffix denotes a built-in magnet, you can drop CMSE or DMSE reed and electronic switches directly into the side grooves for position sensing. Plan for roughly 589 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 50 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The unit features a G1/4 port, an M18x1.5 rod thread, and adjustable air cushions at both ends.
With a 400 mm stroke, the 20 mm piston rod extends significantly, so external guide rails should be used to prevent side-load bending and preserve bearing life. The NBR piston seal and TPU buffer gasket operate reliably across a -20 to +70 C temperature range at pressures from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa.

Uses the 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa to divert heavy packaged goods from a main conveyor belt to a secondary packaging line.
Lifts approximately 50 kg of raw material from a lower hopper to an elevated processing chute using the 400 mm stroke.
Acts as a 50 kg capacity holding gate on a gravity roller conveyor, raising 400 mm to release loaded pallets downstream.
When sizing this 50 mm bore, stepping down to a 40 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 628 N, whereas stepping up to a 63 mm bore raises it to 1559 N. If your machine experiences air loss or a centered valve, be aware that the piston will drift, as the adjustable cushion only decelerates the stroke near the end caps rather than locking the load. For suspended or vertical loads that must hold position, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The included -S magnet pairs seamlessly with CMSE or DMSE sensors for end-of-stroke confirmation. Given the 400 mm extension, always mount external guides to absorb lateral forces and protect the rod from bending.
Quick checklist
The 50 mm bore provides a push force of 982 N and a pull force of 825 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push is 1374 N and pull is 1154 N. The theoretical maximum force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G1/4 air port, an M18x1.5 rod thread, and operates at speeds between 30 and 800 mm/s.
It is a JIS-standard profile cylinder that is shorter and more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 50 mm bore. This space-saving design uses an extruded aluminum barrel without external rods. Additionally, the -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSE or DMSE sensors.
