About the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100BX170
The AirTAC SAI100X170 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and 170mm stroke. It generates a substantial 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for heavy-duty positioning tasks. The extruded aluminum barrel design omits tie rods, providing a clean exterior that includes integrated sensor grooves on both sides for straightforward switch mounting.
This specific configuration is built with a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (material code B), offering superior corrosion resistance for humid or washdown manufacturing environments. It utilizes PT tapered port threads. While this standard double-acting model relies on adjustable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the piston, applications requiring strict load holding during a pressure loss should utilize the SAIL pneumatic lock variant.

Where the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100BX170 Is Used
Heavy-Duty Stamping
Provides the necessary push force for pressing, riveting, and metal-forming operations requiring high thrust over a 170mm stroke.
Pallet Diverting
Drives robust routing arms and lifting mechanisms on high-mass conveyor lines handling heavy pallets.
Automated Assembly
Actuates large clamps and heavy-duty fixtures in automated automotive and industrial machinery assembly lines.
Is the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100BX170 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 100mm bore cylinder is appropriate when your machinery requires up to 3927 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa; stepping down to an 80mm bore yields 2513 N, while moving up to 125mm provides 6136 N. Because this unit lacks a magnet for sensors, you must specify the -S option if proximity detection via CMSE or DMSE switches is needed.
As a genuine ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it serves as a dimensionally interchangeable drop-in replacement for other standard 100mm bore actuators with a G1/2 port. To match existing plumbing, note the PT tapered thread type. For any application where the load must be securely held without continuous air pressure, do not depend on the cushions; instead, integrate an external pilot-operated check valve or select the BSAI clamp-lock series.
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 SAI100BX170 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 100mm bore cylinder provides a push force of 3927 N and a pull force of 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, the theoretical push force reaches 801 kgf.
Yes, the SAI100X170 is a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, meaning its mounting interface and dimensions are interchangeable with other ISO 15552 standard cylinders of the same bore size. It uses a G1/2 port.
