About the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100X180S
The AirTAC SAI100X180-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. Delivering a substantial 3927 N of push force at just 0.5 MPa, this 100 mm bore actuator is built to move demanding loads. The 180 mm stroke provides the precise mid-range travel required for large clamping, pressing, and lifting stations. Its extruded aluminum barrel design omits tie rods, presenting a clean exterior that resists snagging in dynamic machinery.
This specific configuration includes a piston magnet for direct mounting of CMSE or DMSE reed sensors along the dual integrated barrel grooves. It features a standard carbon steel piston rod for high tensile strength and utilizes PT tapered port threads for a reliable, pressure-tight pneumatic connection. You can easily configure it with standard ISO 15552 mounting accessories like FA flanges or TC trunnion brackets.

Where the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100X180S Is Used
Heavy-Duty Stamping
Provides the 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa required to form, punch, and stamp thick metal components in automated fabrication lines.
Pallet Diverting
Acts as a high-power diverter on heavy-duty material handling conveyors, using the 180 mm stroke to push fully loaded pallets onto side lanes.
Large Component Clamping
Secures bulky workpieces during machining or welding operations, maintaining rigid positioning under high external vibration.
Is the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100X180S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 100 mm bore when a 63 mm cylinder (providing 1559 N at 0.5 MPa) lacks the thrust for your heavy payload, but you want to avoid the larger footprint and air consumption of a 125 mm unit. The 180 mm stroke offers an optimal extension distance without the excessive retraction length of longer strokes. Because this is a double-acting cylinder, it relies on continuous air pressure to hold position; the adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends and do not act as a mechanical brake.
For any application requiring fail-safe load holding upon air loss or valve centering, consider the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (bidirectional clamp-lock) variants instead of the standard SAI. This SAI100X180-S is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, serving as a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders. It features a G1/2 port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and a standard -S magnet for sensor tracking.

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 SAI100X180S FAQ
At a standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 100 mm bore cylinder generates 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force. At its maximum 1.0 MPa rating, the theoretical push force reaches 801 kgf.
No, the standard SAI cylinder does not hold position when air pressure is removed or exhausted. The adjustable cushions only slow the piston near the end of the stroke. For suspended loads or fail-safe holding, use the SAIL or BSAI locking variants.
