The AirTAC Airtac JSI Series Standard Cylinder JSI50X55CB is a genuine double acting JIS-standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 55mm 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, the AirTAC JSI50X55CB is a double-acting JIS-standard profile cylinder built for tight machinery layouts. It is notably shorter and more compact than an equivalent ISO 15552 bore, saving valuable envelope space. 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. Equipped with a CB clevis mount, it handles a safe working load of about 589 N, which means it can lift roughly 50 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.
This 50 mm bore unit features a 20 mm piston rod, an M18x1.5 rod-end thread, and a G1/4 air port. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot accept CMSE or DMSE position sensors. The adjustable 20.5 mm air cushions at both ends smoothly decelerate the piston near the stroke limits across its 30-800 mm/s operating speed range.

Uses the 982 N push force to positively index film rolls and cartons through a sealing station via the CB clevis pivot.
Cycles at 30-800 mm/s to rapidly push parcels off a main belt, leveraging the compact profile to fit within tight side frames.
Elevates approximately 50 kg of stacked components between conveyor tiers, relying on the hard-anodized barrel for smooth, low-friction operation.
When sizing this actuator, consider the neighboring bores: a 40 mm JSI provides 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the 63 mm version steps up to 1559 N. If your machine experiences air loss or a centered valve, be aware the piston will drift, as the cushions only decelerate motion and do not function as a brake; incorporate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding. The integrated CB clevis is ideal for pivoting applications, and upgrading to an -S variant is necessary if your control system requires magnetic sensing.
Quick checklist
This 50 mm bore cylinder has a G1/4 air port and an M18x1.5 rod thread. It generates 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 is a JIS-standard profile cylinder that is shorter and more compact than a same-bore ISO 15552 unit. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSE or DMSE switches; you must select the -S variant for position sensing.
