About the Airtac SAI40 Standard Air Cylinder SAI40X180
The AirTAC SAI40X180 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered to deliver 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Its 180 mm stroke provides the extended travel needed for mid-range positioning tasks. The extruded aluminum barrel design omits tie rods, ensuring a clean exterior that drops seamlessly into standardized ISO 15552 mounting footprints.
For demanding environments, you can configure this unit with high-temperature Viton (H) seals instead of the standard TPU. The barrel features dual sensor grooves, allowing direct mounting of CMSE or DMSE switches when a magnet is specified. This specific configuration utilizes a standard carbon steel piston rod and a tapered PT G1/4 port thread.

Where the Airtac SAI40 Standard Air Cylinder SAI40X180 Is Used
Package Diverting
Provides the 628 N push force and 180 mm extension needed to actuate diverting arms on medium-speed packaging conveyors.
Clamp Actuation
Extends to secure workpieces in light machining fixtures, utilizing its adjustable air cushions to soften the end-of-stroke impact.
Gate Control
Drives material flow gates on hoppers, offering reliable double-acting operation with a carbon steel rod for industrial durability.
Is the Airtac SAI40 Standard Air Cylinder SAI40X180 the Right Cylinder?
If your application requires less thrust, stepping down to a 32 mm bore yields 402 N at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to a 50 mm bore provides 982 N for heavier payloads. At 180 mm of travel, side loading is minimal, but ensure the load is axially aligned to prevent premature rod-bearing wear. Because this is a standard double-acting cylinder, it will drift if air pressure is lost; use the SAIL variant with an air-released lock if you need to hold a load safely during an outage. To replace an existing unit, match the 40 mm bore, 180 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and your required mounting accessory like an FA flange or LB foot.
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 SAI40 Standard Air Cylinder SAI40X180 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the SAI40X180 generates 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force. When supplied with 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 879 N.
Yes, the SAI40X180 is built to the ISO 15552 dimensional standard, making it interchangeable with other ISO 15552 profile cylinders of the same bore and stroke. Ensure your port thread and mounting match.
