About the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100AX500S
The AirTAC SAI100X500-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. It provides a robust push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa and 5497 N at 0.7 MPa, making it ideal for high-thrust tasks over its 500 mm stroke. As a genuine AirTAC component, it ensures dimensional interchangeability for seamless drop-in replacements.
This variant features a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (material code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance in humid environments. Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S), it integrates directly with CMSE and DMSE sensor switches fitted into the dual-side grooves of the extruded aluminum barrel. It also includes adjustable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the payload smoothly.

Where the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100AX500S Is Used
Heavy Stamping
Provides the 5497 N push force at 0.7 MPa required to actuate large mechanical presses and form heavy-gauge metal components over a 500 mm travel distance.
Pallet Handling
Ideal for pushing heavy pallets or transferring large loads between conveyor lines, utilizing the full 500 mm stroke and robust 100 mm bore thrust.
Material Lifters
Drives heavy-duty lifting platforms in automated assembly lines, relying on SUS420J2 stainless steel rod material to resist environmental moisture.
Is the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100AX500S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 100 mm bore when 80 mm cylinders (providing 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa) lack the necessary thrust for heavy lifting, but before stepping up to the massive 125 mm bore. The 500 mm stroke requires careful attention to mechanical stability; long unsupported rods are susceptible to bending under side loads, so utilizing an external guide rail or a dedicated guided cylinder is strongly recommended to prevent premature rod-bearing wear.
For applications requiring the piston to maintain its position after a loss of supply pressure, note that the standard adjustable air cushion only decelerates the rod at stroke end and does not act as a brake. To hold loads securely without live air pressure, specify the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (bidirectional clamp-lock) variant instead of the standard SAI. This model uses PT tapered port threads and standard ISO 15552 mounting accessories.
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 SAI100AX500S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it generates 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 5497 N, and at 0.9 MPa it reaches 7068 N.
Yes, the SAI100X500-S is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. You can drop it in as a replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders with matching 100 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, and G1/2 port dimensions.
