The AirTAC Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100X250 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 250mm 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 SAI100X250 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder offering a robust 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa and 5497 N at 0.7 MPa. Its extruded aluminum barrel eliminates tie-rods while maintaining strict dimensional interchangeability with other ISO 15552 actuators. The 250 mm stroke is well-suited for heavy material handling and high-thrust automation sequences.
Beyond the standard thrust metrics, this configuration features a carbon steel piston rod for structural durability under high axial loads. The barrel includes integrated sensor grooves on both sides, allowing direct mounting of CMSE or DMSE switches if a magnet (-S) is specified later. For environments exceeding standard temperatures, the seal stack can be upgraded to Viton (H) or NBR (N) instead of the standard TPU.

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 high axial thrust needed for pressing bearings or forming metal components in automated manufacturing cells.
Actuates heavy-duty diverter arms to route loaded pallets across conveyor lines without hesitation.
Secures large workpieces firmly within machining centers, utilizing the full 5497 N force at 0.7 MPa.
Selecting this 100 mm bore makes sense when a 80 mm bore (providing 2513 N at 0.5 MPa) lacks the necessary power, but a 125 mm unit would be physically oversized. At a 250 mm stroke, the extended carbon steel rod is susceptible to bending if subjected to lateral loads; utilizing an external guide rail or a guided cylinder carriage is strongly recommended to prevent premature rod-bearing wear.
Because this is a double-acting pneumatic actuator, it relies on continuous air pressure to hold position. If power or air is lost, the piston will drift. For gravity-loaded vertical setups that require fail-safe holding, consider the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (bidirectional clamp-lock) variants. Ensure your setup matches the G1/2 port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and PT thread type for a seamless ISO 15552 drop-in replacement.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3681 N. If you increase the operating pressure to 0.7 MPa, the push force rises to 5497 N.
Yes. The SAI100X250 is a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making its mounting dimensions and G1/2 porting fully interchangeable with other ISO 15552 compliant cylinders from various brands.
