The AirTAC SAI32 Standard Cylinder SAI32X500 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 500mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders at the mounting interface.
The AirTAC SAI32X500 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and a 500mm stroke, delivering 402N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Its extruded aluminum barrel design omits tie rods, providing a clean exterior that integrates seamlessly into modern automated machinery. This specific 500mm stroke represents the maximum standard extension for the 32mm bore size, making it ideal for applications requiring long linear reach within a compact footprint.
Beyond the standard specifications, this unit features a carbon steel piston rod for robust mechanical strength in industrial environments. The barrel incorporates dual-side sensor grooves ready for CMSE or DMSE switches, though adding a magnet requires specifying the -S option. For environments with higher thermal demands, the seal options can be upgraded from standard TPU to Viton (H) for sustained high-temperature reliability.

Pushes lightweight packages or tote bins over long 500mm distances on sorting conveyor lines using its 402N push force at 0.5 MPa.
Actuates diverter gates and sorting arms in assembly machinery where a compact 32mm bore footprint is required.
Provides the extended reach needed to eject finished palletized goods or empty cartons from packaging stations.
Choosing the SAI32X500 means operating at the absolute maximum standard stroke limit for a 32mm bore. If an application requires slightly less reach, stepping down to a 400mm or 300mm stroke reduces overall cylinder length and minimizes rod overhang. If higher thrust is needed, upgrading to the 40mm bore neighbor provides 628N of push force at 0.5 MPa, but requires adapting the G1/4 port and larger mounting interface.
Because this model features a 500mm stroke, the extended unsupported piston rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads. To prevent premature rod-bearing wear and seal failure, always guide the load externally using linear rails or employ a dedicated guided cylinder. Note that the standard adjustable air cushions at both ends decelerate the piston but do not lock the load; if position holding without air pressure is mandatory, consider the SAIL (air-released lock) variant or an external rod lock. This cylinder uses PT tapered port threads and offers a direct ISO 15552 mounting interface replacement.
Quick checklist
The SAI32X500 provides a push force of 402N and a pull force of 345N at 0.5 MPa. At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, the theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf.
Yes, the SAI32X500 is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 standards. It serves as a direct replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders of the same bore and stroke, utilizing standard PT port threads and matching mounting accessories.
