About the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100BX55S
The AirTAC SAI100X55-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation, delivering a robust 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa. Its 55 mm stroke provides rapid, high-impact linear motion within a standardized mounting envelope, ensuring seamless drop-in compatibility with other ISO 15552 assemblies.
This specific configuration features a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (material code B) for superior corrosion resistance in harsh washdown or chemical settings. It includes a built-in magnet for position sensing via CMSE or DMSE switches, and utilizes PT tapered port threads to guarantee a reliable, leak-free pneumatic connection.

Where the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100BX55S Is Used
Heavy-Duty Stamping
Provides the high-impact force necessary for metal forming, riveting, and short-stroke stamping presses.
Pallet Diverter
Acts as a robust routing actuator to redirect heavy pallets or workpieces along high-capacity material handling lines.
Parts Ejection
Delivers rapid, forceful ejection of finished metal or plastic components from molding and machining centers.
Is the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100BX55S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 100 mm bore over the smaller 80 mm variant steps up your 0.5 MPa push thrust from 2513 N to 3927 N, making it the optimal choice when overcoming higher mechanical resistance. Conversely, if your application only requires around 1559 N, stepping down to a 63 mm bore saves valuable machine space and air consumption.
Because this is a 55 mm stroke, side-load stress on the rod bearing is minimal, though external guides are always recommended for perfectly aligned travel. Remember that a standard SAI relies on live air pressure to maintain its position; if your process requires static load holding during an air-loss event, consider the SAIL lock or BSAI bidirectional clamp-lock variants instead.
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 SAI100BX55S FAQ
At a 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 100 mm bore cylinder generates 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force. At the maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, the theoretical push force reaches 801 kgf.
Yes, the SAI100X55-S is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 standards. It serves as a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders of the same bore and stroke, provided your system uses a G1/2 port.
