The AirTAC Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100AX165S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 165mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 cylinders in automation lines.
The AirTAC SAI100X165-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. Delivering a robust 5497 N push force at 0.7 MPa, this 100mm bore unit is tailored for mid-stroke manipulation tasks requiring substantial thrust and stable positioning.
This variant features a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (option A) for superior corrosion resistance in humid environments. The integrated magnet (-S) enables seamless position detection via CMSE or DMSE switches fitted into the extruded aluminum barrel's dual sensor grooves.

Related SAI-family variants: SAID (double rod), SAIJ (adjustable stroke), SAIL (with lock), SAIF (with valve), BSAI (enclasp / clamp-lock), and SAI-S with built-in magnet. Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B); seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N.
Provides the 7068 N thrust at 0.9 MPa required to form thick metal components in automated stamping presses.
Exerts reliable force to push heavy loaded pallets from high-speed conveyor lines onto branching transfer rails.
Drives large bearings into housings with consistent pressure, utilizing the 165mm stroke for precise insertion depth.
Selecting this 100mm bore over the smaller 80mm variant (which provides 3518 N at 0.7 MPa) is necessary when your application demands higher thrust margins for moving heavier pallets or actuating large mechanical clamps. Conversely, if your load only requires 2805 N, stepping down to a 63mm bore saves space and air consumption.
Because the 165mm stroke is below the 300mm side-load threshold, standard mounting accessories like FA flanges or TC trunnions are fully supported. Remember that the standard double-acting design relies on continuous air pressure to hold position; if pneumatic supply drops, the piston will drift. For fail-safe load holding, consider the SAIL (pneumatic lock) or BSAI (clamp-lock) variants instead of relying on the adjustable air cushions.
Quick checklist
At an operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, this 100mm bore cylinder generates 5497 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force. At the maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, the theoretical push force reaches 801 kgf.
Yes, the SAI100X165-S is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 standards. You can use it as a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders with matching 100mm bore and 165mm stroke specifications, utilizing standard PT G1/2 ports.
