The AirTAC Airtac SAI125 Standard Air Cylinder SAI125BX475S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 475mm 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 SAI125X475-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation, delivering a substantial push force of 8590 N at 0.7 MPa. This 475 mm stroke is a standard length within the 125 mm bore range, making it highly suitable for long-travel material handling and large press operations. As a tie-rod-less extruded aluminum profile barrel, it offers a clean, modern design while maintaining strict dimensional interchangeability with other ISO 15552 cylinders.
This specific configuration includes a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (material code B) for superior corrosion resistance in harsh or washdown environments. It is built with the -S magnet option, allowing seamless integration with CMSE and DMSE sensor switches housed in the dual-side sensor grooves. Fluid ports are PT (tapered) thread type, and the unit features adjustable air cushions at both ends to absorb kinetic energy, operating efficiently at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.

Provides the robust linear force required for large-scale metal forming, stamping, and press operations in automotive manufacturing.
Actuates heavy diverter gates and sorting arms on high-capacity packaging lines, utilizing the 475 mm stroke for wide belt transitions.
Drives substantial clamping fixtures and positioning jigs in heavy equipment assembly, where the SUS304 rod resists environmental contamination.
When sizing this cylinder, compare its 8590 N output at 0.7 MPa with the neighboring 100 mm bore, which yields 5497 N under the same pressure. If your application demands even greater thrust, stepping up to the 160 mm bore provides 14074 N. For this 475 mm stroke, it is critical to manage side loads; long unsupported rods are prone to bending under lateral forces. We recommend using an external guide rail or a guided cylinder carriage to prevent premature rod-bearing wear and ensure smooth linear travel.
Because this is a standard double-acting cylinder, it will not hold a load in place if air pressure is lost or the control valve is centered. The piston and load will drift under gravity or external force. If your machinery requires fail-safe position holding or mid-stroke locking, select the SAIL variant with an air-released lock, or the BSAI bidirectional clamp-lock cylinder. To mount this ISO 15552 unit, utilize standard accessories like TC trunnion or CA clevis brackets, and remember to order the -S magnet option if you require position feedback.
Quick checklist
At an operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, this 125 mm bore cylinder generates a push force of 8590 N and a pull force of 5734 N. It can reach a theoretical maximum force of 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, for strokes of 475 mm, using an external guide rail or a fully guided cylinder carriage is strongly recommended. This prevents rod bending and bearing damage caused by side loads, ensuring the ISO 15552 mounting interface performs optimally.
