The AirTAC Airtac JSI Series Standard Cylinder JSI50X40S is a genuine double acting JIS-standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 40mm 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.
Generating 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC JSI50X40S is a double-acting JIS-standard profile cylinder built for tight machinery layouts. Its extruded hard-anodized aluminum barrel omits external rods, making the unit shorter and more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 50 mm bore. A heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease for long, low-friction life, while the integrated -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE switches to drop directly into the side grooves for position sensing.
The 40 mm stroke operates at 30-800 mm/s through a G1/4 port, with an M18x1.5 rod thread and 20.5 mm adjustable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly. For practical sizing, plan for about 589 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting roughly 50 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Actuates a routing flap on a packaging conveyor to push 50 kg cartons onto a secondary belt at high speed.
Secures aluminum extrusions in a CNC machining fixture using roughly 589 N of reliable clamping force.
Controls a pneumatic stop gate on a roller conveyor to stage heavy totes before an automated stretch wrapper.
When sizing this 50 mm bore, dropping down to a JSI40 yields 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to a JSI63 provides 1559 N, giving you clear boundaries for your load requirements. The included -S magnet pairs perfectly with CMSE or DMSE sensors for end-of-stroke detection. Because the 40 mm stroke is quite short, side-load stress is minimal, but remember that a standard cylinder drifts if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end and do not act as a brake. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if the application requires the load to be held securely in place.
Quick checklist
The JSI50X40S delivers 982 N push and 825 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 1374 N push and 1154 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G1/4 air port and features a 20 mm piston rod with an M18x1.5 thread.
It is a JIS-standard profile cylinder that is shorter and more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet, allowing CMSE or DMSE electronic or reed switches to be installed directly into the extruded barrel's side grooves.
