About the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100BX10
The AirTAC SAI100X10 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a highly compact 10mm stroke. Delivering a robust 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it is engineered for high-force clamping and ejection tasks within extremely tight spatial constraints. The extruded aluminum barrel design strictly adheres to ISO 15552 mounting dimensions, guaranteeing a seamless drop-in replacement for any standard profile cylinder.
This specific configuration incorporates a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod, providing superior corrosion resistance for environments exposed to moisture or mild chemicals. While the unit features adjustable air cushions at both ends, the abbreviated 10mm stroke means end-of-stroke impact is minimal. For position feedback requirements, the barrel includes integrated sensor grooves on both sides, ready to accept CMSE or DMSE switches when a magnet is specified.

Where the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100BX10 Is Used
High-Force Short Clamping
Ideal for securely holding heavy metal castings during CNC machining operations where a massive 3927 N force is needed but linear travel space is restricted to 10mm.
Rapid Ejection Station
Provides a powerful, fast burst of thrust to eject dense molded parts from a press, utilizing the 100mm bore capacity within a highly compact axial length.
Heavy Stamping Press
Serves as a compact actuator for applying stamps or marks to heavy industrial plates, leveraging the stainless steel rod for durability in harsh industrial settings.
Is the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100BX10 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 100mm bore model is optimal when an application demands the 3927 N push force (at 0.5 MPa) but lacks the physical envelope for a longer stroke. If a slightly lower force is acceptable, stepping down to an 80mm bore yields 2513 N at 0.5 MPa while further reducing the footprint. Conversely, if higher force is necessary, the 125mm bore offers 6136 N at 0.5 MPa.
Because the stroke is only 10mm, rod-bearing bending and side-load issues are virtually eliminated, making it highly forgiving in rigid mounting setups. Note that this standard cylinder relies on continuous air pressure to maintain its position; it will drift if pressure is lost. If the application requires a fail-safe hold under zero pressure, consider the BSAI bidirectional clamp-lock variant. This unit features a PT tapered port thread and standard ISO 15552 mounting accessories like FA flanges.
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.
