About the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100AX260
The AirTAC SAI100X260 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. Delivering a robust 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 100mm bore unit utilizes a 260mm stroke to power demanding industrial machinery. Its extruded aluminum barrel design omits tie-rods, providing a clean exterior that simplifies mounting and sensor placement.
This specific configuration features an SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (material code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance in humid or mildly chemically washed environments. It uses PT tapered G1/2 ports. Note that this variant is supplied without a magnet; adding the -S suffix enables CMSE or DMSE sensor tracking via the dual grooves on the barrel.

Where the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100AX260 Is Used
Heavy Stamping
Provides the high thrust required to actuate large mechanical presses and form heavy-gauge metal components.
Pallet Diversion
Extends 260mm to push heavy loaded pallets off a main conveyor line onto secondary packaging tracks.
Plastic Injection
Drives the heavy clamping arms and ejection mechanisms on large-tonnage plastic injection molding machines.
Is the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100AX260 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 100mm bore cylinder is ideal when 80mm models (providing 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa) lack the necessary thrust, but a 125mm bore would be excessive. The 260mm stroke offers extended travel, but because it exceeds 300mm, you must account for side-load risks. Long unsupported rods are prone to bending under lateral forces; utilize an external guide rail or a dedicated guided cylinder to prevent premature rod-bearing wear.
As a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it serves as a drop-in replacement for any standard cylinder sharing these exact mounting dimensions. To match this configuration, specify a 100mm bore, 260mm stroke, PT G1/2 port thread, and your desired mounting accessory like an FA flange or TC trunnion. If pneumatic pressure is lost, the standard SAI cannot hold a load; integrate a SAIL variant or external rod lock for fail-safe braking.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100AX260 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 100mm bore cylinder generates 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force. If pressure is increased to 0.7 MPa, the push force rises to 5497 N.
Yes. The SAI100X260 is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. You can drop it in as a replacement for other ISO 15552 cylinders with a 100mm bore, 260mm stroke, and matching mounting interface.
