About the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100X40S
The AirTAC SAI100X40-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty tasks, delivering a substantial push force of 3927 N at just 0.5 MPa. Its 40 mm stroke provides rapid, short-travel actuation where high peak force is required. The extruded aluminum barrel design omits tie rods, ensuring a clean exterior that easily drops into existing ISO 15552 mounting interfaces.
This specific configuration includes a built-in magnet (-S) for use with CMSE and DMSE series reed switches, which mount directly into the dual sensor grooves on the barrel sides. The standard carbon steel piston rod offers robust durability for industrial automation, while the adjustable air cushions at both ends ensure smooth deceleration even under high kinetic energy loads.

Where the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100X40S Is Used
Heavy-Duty Stamping
Provides the high force needed for short-stroke stamping, pressing, and rivoting operations in metal fabrication.
Pallet Stopping
Acts as a high-strength stopper for heavy pallets on conveyor lines, absorbing impact with adjustable air cushions.
Parts Ejection
Quickly ejects molded or machined parts from machinery with a compact 40 mm stroke and 3927 N of force.
Is the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100X40S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 100 mm bore when an 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) cannot generate enough push force, but you want to avoid stepping up to a 125 mm bore (6136 N) to save space and air volume. The 40 mm stroke is optimal for short clamping or lifting motions.
Because this is a standard double-acting cylinder, it will not hold a load in place if air pressure is lost or exhausted; the piston will drift. For applications requiring true position holding without live pressure, consider the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (bidirectional clamp-lock) variants. Replacement is straightforward: match the 100 mm bore, 40 mm stroke, PT G1/2 port, and mounting accessory type.
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 SAI100X40S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the SAI100X40-S generates a push force of 3927 N and a pull force of 3681 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 5497 N.
Yes, the SAI100X40-S is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. It can serve as a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders, provided the 100 mm bore, 40 mm stroke, and G1/2 port match your existing interface.
