The AirTAC Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100BX45 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 45mm 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 SAI100X45 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 100 mm bore actuator is built to handle substantial loads. The 45 mm stroke provides rapid, short-travel actuation for clamping or pressing tasks. A standout feature of this specific configuration is the SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (material code B), which provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard carbon steel, making it ideal for humid or chemically active environments.
This model uses PT tapered port threads for a mechanically sealed pneumatic connection. The extruded aluminum barrel incorporates sensor grooves on both sides, allowing for direct mounting of CMSE or DMSE switches if a magnet is added later. As a genuine AirTAC component, it guarantees dimensional interchangeability with other ISO 15552 cylinders, ensuring a seamless, drop-in replacement for your existing standard mounting setups.

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 the necessary 3927 N of force at 0.5 MPa to execute short 45 mm stamping and forming operations on metal or composite parts.
Acts as a robust stop gate for heavy pallets on a conveyor line, using its SUS304 rod to withstand environmental moisture and repeated impact.
Secures large workpieces during machining or welding, utilizing the 100 mm bore's high thrust capacity to lock heavy components rigidly in place.
Selecting this 100 mm bore actuator makes sense when your application requires upward of 3927 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. If your load requirements drop closer to 2513 N, stepping down to the 80 mm bore neighbor is more efficient. Conversely, if you need to exceed 5497 N, consider the 125 mm variant. Because the stroke is a short 45 mm, rod-bearing bending and side-load stress are minimal, meaning external guides are not strictly necessary for structural integrity here.
For applications that require the load to be held securely in place without constant live air pressure, remember that a standard SAI cylinder will drift or drop when pressure is lost. The adjustable air cushions at both ends only decelerate the piston near stroke end; they do not act as a brake. To maintain position during exhaust or valve centering, you must integrate an external pilot-operated check valve or specify the SAIL (air-released lock) variant.
Quick checklist
At an operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the SAI100X45 generates 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 5497 N.
Yes. The SAI100X45 is a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making its mounting interface dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders from brands like Festo or SMC, ensuring a drop-in replacement.
