The AirTAC Airtac JSI Series Standard Cylinder JSI50X480S is a genuine double acting JIS-standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 480mm 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 equivalent ISO 15552 unit of the same 50 mm bore. The extruded hard-anodized aluminum barrel omits external rods to resist wear, while the heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains grease for a long, low-friction service life. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can drop CMSE or DMSE reed and electronic switches directly into the side grooves for position sensing. 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. The unit features a G1/4 port, an M18x1.5 rod thread, and adjustable air cushions at both ends to smooth out deceleration.
Operating between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa at speeds of 30-800 mm/s, the NBR piston seal and TPU buffer gasket handle temperatures from -20 to +70 C. The generous 480 mm stroke makes it highly suitable for extended reach tasks, though at this length you should support the load with external guides to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.

Uses the 480 mm stroke to push cartons between adjacent conveyor lanes, relying on the 982 N push force to shift heavy boxes smoothly.
Sweeps layered products onto a waiting pallet, where the compact JIS profile saves floor space and the -S magnet confirms the fully extended position.
Opens and closes large safety guards on automated test benches, benefiting from the adjustable cushions to prevent slamming at stroke ends.
When sizing this 50 mm bore, stepping down to a 40 mm version drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 628 N, while moving up to a 63 mm bore increases it to 1559 N. If your application requires the piston to stay put after a loss of air pressure or when a valve is centered, note that the standard air cushion only decelerates the rod near the stroke end and will not act as a lock; you will need an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve to hold the load safely. Furthermore, with the extended 480 mm stroke, side-load forces are amplified, so incorporating an external guide rail is strongly recommended to prevent rod bending and uneven seal wear.
Quick checklist
This 50 mm bore cylinder 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 an M18x1.5 rod thread.
The JSI is a JIS-standard profile cylinder that is shorter and more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 50 mm bore, giving you a space-saving footprint without sacrificing the 480 mm stroke.
