About the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100X230
The AirTAC SAI100X230 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. Delivering a robust 5497 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, this 100mm bore actuator easily handles substantial payloads. The 230mm stroke provides ample extension for indexing, clamping, and pressing tasks. Its extruded aluminum barrel design integrates sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch mounting.
This specific configuration features a standard carbon steel piston rod for high tensile strength under load. It utilizes a PT tapered port thread and is supplied without a magnet. For applications requiring position feedback, adding the -S magnet option allows seamless integration with CMSE or DMSE reed switches. If your process involves elevated ambient heat, you can specify the Viton (H) seal variant instead of the standard TPU.

Where the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100X230 Is Used
Heavy-Duty Pressing
Ideal for applying consistent 5497 N downward force for assembling bearings or pressing pins into heavy housings.
Pallet Stopping
Acts as a robust stopper for heavy pallets on conveyor lines, utilizing the 230mm stroke to clear the path when retracted.
Large Clamp Actuation
Provides the necessary reach and clamping power to secure large fabricated steel parts for welding operations.
Is the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100X230 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 100mm bore actuator makes sense when 80mm cylinders lack sufficient thrust. An 80mm SAI yields 3518 N at 0.7 MPa, whereas this 100mm model outputs 5497 N, providing a significant boost for high-inertia loads. If your application requires less force and faster cycling, stepping down to an 80mm bore is advisable.
Because this unit features a 230mm stroke, the extended rod is susceptible to bending if subjected to lateral forces. To prevent premature rod-bearing wear, ensure the load is guided externally or utilize a guided cylinder module. Remember that a standard SAI cylinder relies on air pressure to maintain its position; if air is lost, the load will drift. For fail-safe holding, consider the SAIL variant with an air-released lock or the BSAI clamp-lock cylinder. As a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it serves as a drop-in replacement for any standard 100mm bore, 230mm stroke, G1/2 ported actuator with matching mounting accessories like FA flanges or TC trunnions.
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 SAI100X230 FAQ
At a standard operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, the push force is 5497 N and the pull force is 3681 N. At 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 7068 N.
No, the standard SAI100X230 uses adjustable air cushions to decelerate the piston at stroke ends, but it cannot hold a load without continuous air pressure. For vertical loads requiring fail-safe holding, use the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (clamp-lock) variants.
