The AirTAC Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100BX20S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 20mm 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 SAI100X20-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for high-force, short-stroke tasks. It yields 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it highly effective for compact pressing and heavy clamping. The extruded aluminum barrel design omits tie rods while maintaining strict dimensional interchangeability with standard ISO 15552 mounting interfaces.
This specific configuration includes a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and a built-in magnet (-S) for seamless position detection using CMSE or DMSE switches. The barrel features dual sensor grooves on both sides, simplifying switch installation, while its PT tapered port threads guarantee a reliable, leak-free pneumatic connection.

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 3927 N of thrust for short-stroke metal forming, riveting, and stamping tasks within confined machinery spaces.
Secures heavy workpieces during machining or welding, utilizing the robust 100 mm bore and SUS304 rod for durability.
Ejects dense molded parts or compacted materials from press cavities rapidly over a compact 20 mm travel distance.
Choose this 100 mm bore when a 80 mm bore (2513 N push at 0.5 MPa) cannot supply adequate thrust for your pressing or clamping application. The 20 mm stroke is optimal for rapid, short movements. Because the stroke is short, rod-bearing bending is negligible, but if your application involves heavy off-center loads, consider an external guide rod to prevent premature seal wear.
For drop-in replacements, match the 100 mm bore, 20 mm stroke, PT G1/2 port, and the -S magnet requirement. If your machinery loses air pressure, this cylinder will not hold its load; the adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end. For true position holding, specify the SAIL (air-released lock) variant or an external pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3681 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 5497 N.
Yes, the SAI100X20-S is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. Match the 100mm bore, 20mm stroke, and mounting accessories for a seamless drop-in installation.
