The AirTAC Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100X170S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 170mm 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 SAI100X170-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder offering a robust 3927N push force at 0.5 MPa. Its 170mm stroke is well-suited for medium-travel material handling and clamping operations. By utilizing an extruded aluminum barrel, this unit avoids tie-rod construction while maintaining strict dimensional interchangeability per ISO 15552.
This configuration includes a magnet for proximity sensing, allowing seamless integration with CMSE and DMSE switches housed in the dual sensor grooves. The piston rod is constructed from carbon steel, and the fluid porting utilizes a PT tapered thread type, ensuring a secure, 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 the necessary push force to redirect heavy pallets or totes on a high-throughput conveyor line.
Secures large metal castings or heavy workpieces securely in place during CNC machining operations.
Acts as a robust stopping mechanism in automated storage and retrieval systems to halt loaded pallets.
Providing 3927N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 100mm bore is a significant step up from the 63mm bore (1559N) for heavier payloads, while avoiding the bulk of the 125mm option (6136N). For this 170mm stroke, side-load bending on the rod bearing is minimal, but always ensure external guides are used if the load is offset. Because this is a standard double-acting cylinder, it will drift if air pressure is lost; for position holding without live pressure, specify the SAIL or BSAI variant. To match this exact replacement, use a 100mm bore, 170mm stroke, G1/2 port, and add the -S magnet for sensor compatibility.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, it generates 3927N of push force and 3681N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 5497N.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. You can replace other ISO 15552 profile cylinders of the same 100mm bore and 170mm stroke directly.
