About the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100X500SN
The AirTAC SAI100X500-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder built for heavy-duty linear motion. It provides a robust push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa and a maximum theoretical output of 801 kgf. The 500 mm stroke delivers ample travel for extended clamping, lifting, or press operations.
This variant includes a piston magnet for use with CMSE and DMSE sensor switches, which mount directly into the dual-side extruded barrel grooves. It utilizes a standard carbon steel piston rod for high tensile strength, paired with NBR seals for reliable wear resistance in standard industrial temperatures.

Where the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100X500SN Is Used
Automotive Body Assembly
Provides the long 500 mm reach and 3927 N of force needed to position and clamp large sheet metal panels into welding fixtures.
Plastic Injection Mold Extraction
Delivers the extended stroke required to reach deep into injection molding machines and extract bulky automotive interior components.
Palletizing and Lift Stations
Handles the vertical elevation of heavy product layers onto pallets, utilizing the full 500 mm travel to index goods efficiently.
Is the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100X500SN the Right Cylinder?
With a 100 mm bore yielding 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this model handles substantial loads. If your application requires less force, stepping down to an 80 mm bore provides 2513 N, conserving air consumption. For higher force demands, a 125 mm bore offers 6136 N.
Because the 500 mm stroke is quite long, the unsupported piston rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads, which can rapidly wear the rod bearing. To prevent premature failure, always guide the load externally or utilize a dedicated guided cylinder assembly. Additionally, this standard cylinder relies on air pressure to maintain position; it will drift if pressure is lost. For fail-safe holding, consider the SAIL or BSAI locking variants. As a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it serves as a drop-in replacement matching the 100 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, PT G1/2 port, and standard mounting accessories.
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 SAI100X500SN FAQ
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the SAI100X500-S generates 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force. At the maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, it achieves a theoretical maximum force of 801 kgf.
Yes. The SAI100X500-S is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. You can drop it in as a replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders with a 100 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, and G1/2 porting.
