About the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100BX5S
The AirTAC SAI100X5-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 100mm bore and a highly compact 5mm stroke. It delivers a robust 3927N of push force at 0.5MPa, making it ideal for short, high-impact pressing and clamping tasks.
This specific configuration includes a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and a magnetic piston for non-contact position sensing via CMSE or DMSE switches. The PT tapered port threads ensure a tight, reliable pneumatic connection.

Where the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100BX5S Is Used
Short-Stroke Stamping
Provides high impact force over a 5mm distance for precise marking, stamping, or embossing operations.
Heavy-Duty Diverter
Acts as a robust diverter arm that needs minimal travel to redirect heavy packages on a conveyor line.
Pallet Clamping
Holds large pallets or workpieces securely in place during machining or wrapping using immense holding power.
Is the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100BX5S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 100mm bore when an application requires significantly more thrust than the 80mm bore (2513N at 0.5MPa) but without the physical footprint of the 125mm option. The ultra-short 5mm stroke is optimal for high-frequency gripping or stamping where only a few millimeters of travel are necessary.
Because the SAI is a standard double-acting cylinder, it relies on live air pressure to maintain its position. If your setup loses pressure, the load will drift; for fail-safe holding, consider the SAIL variant with an air-released lock or an external rod lock. Being a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it serves as a dimensionally interchangeable drop-in replacement for other standard 100mm bore cylinders, utilizing the PT port and standard mounting accessories.
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.
