About the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100X170
The AirTAC SAI100X170 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and 170mm stroke. It delivers a substantial push force of 3927N at 0.5MPa, making it well-suited for heavy-duty positioning and high-inertia automation tasks. The extruded aluminum barrel design omits tie-rods, providing a clean exterior that integrates seamlessly into modern machinery.
This specific configuration features a standard carbon steel piston rod and PT (tapered) G1/2 porting. Because a magnet is not specified for this variant, position sensing requires external switches or a custom -S suffix model. The adjustable air cushions at both ends absorb kinetic energy effectively, while the standardized mounting interface ensures true dimensional interchangeability with other ISO 15552 compliant actuators.

Where the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100X170 Is Used
Heavy-Duty Pressing
Ideal for assembling bearings or bushings, utilizing its 3927N push force at just 0.5MPa to seat components firmly without overstressing surrounding frames.
Pallet Indexing
Drives heavy pallets or workpieces along conveyor lines, where the 170mm stroke provides sufficient travel to clear tooling and transfer stations efficiently.
Automated Clamping
Secures large metal castings or welded fabrications during machining, leveraging the robust 100mm bore and adjustable cushioning to handle high-inertia clamping actions.
Is the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100X170 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 100mm bore when a 80mm cylinder (providing 2513N at 0.5MPa) lacks the necessary thrust for moving heavy payloads or overcoming high friction. The 170mm stroke offers a practical extension length for pressing, lifting, or indexing components without requiring the space of a 200mm or longer unit. For applications needing position verification, upgrading to an -S magnet version allows direct mounting of CMSE or DMSE sensors into the barrel's dual grooves.
Because the SAI100X170 is a double-acting cylinder, it relies on continuous air pressure to hold a load; if pressure is lost, the piston will drift. For gravity-loaded vertical applications that require fail-safe position holding without live pressure, consider the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (bidirectional clamp-lock) variants. As a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, this unit serves as a drop-in replacement for any standard 100mm bore ISO 15552 actuator with a 170mm stroke, matching footprint, PT G1/2 ports, and standard mounting accessories like FA flanges or TC trunnions.

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 SAI100X170 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the SAI100X170 generates a push force of 3927N and a pull force of 3681N. If pressure is increased to 0.7 MPa, the push force reaches 5497N.
Yes, the SAI100X170 is a genuine ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 standard cylinders of the same bore and stroke, matching standard mounting interfaces and port sizes.
