About the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100X5
The AirTAC SAI100X5 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for compact, high-force movements. Delivering a substantial 3927 N of push force at just 0.5 MPa, this 100 mm bore actuator is built to excel in heavy-duty tasks requiring minimal travel. Its extruded aluminum barrel design omits tie-rods, providing a clean exterior that matches the ISO 15552 mounting interface perfectly.
Because this specific configuration lacks a magnet, it does not support Hall-effect sensing out of the box. However, the extruded barrel still features dual-sided sensor grooves ready for CMSE or DMSE switches if you later upgrade to an -S variant. Furthermore, the standard carbon steel piston rod provides excellent tensile strength for industrial environments.

Where the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100X5 Is Used
Heavy-Duty Clamping
Provides immense 3927 N clamping force at 0.5 MPa to secure heavy metal workpieces during machining or welding operations.
Short-Stroke Pressing
Ideal for spot-forming or stamping tasks where a 5 mm stroke is sufficient to apply 5497 N of force at standard 0.7 MPa shop pressure.
Robotic End Effectors
Serves as a compact, high-power gripper or pusher mechanism on automated assembly lines requiring massive force in a small footprint.
Is the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100X5 the Right Cylinder?
Choosing the 100 mm bore is ideal when the 80 mm counterpart falls short. For context, the neighboring 80 mm bore provides 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, whereas this 100 mm unit steps up to 3927 N at the same pressure. The extremely short 5 mm stroke is optimal for high-force clamping or pressing operations where full extension is unnecessary.
As a double-acting cylinder, air pressure actively controls both the extend and retract strokes. If your machinery loses air supply, the piston cannot hold a load and will drift. For applications requiring fail-safe position holding, consider the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (bidirectional clamp-lock) variants. This unit features a PT tapered port thread and uses standard carbon steel rod material.
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 SAI100X5 FAQ
