About the Airtac SAI40 Standard Air Cylinder SAI40X50CA
The AirTAC SAI40X50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 40mm bore and 50mm stroke. It delivers a push force of 628 N at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for compact actuation tasks requiring moderate thrust. The extruded aluminum barrel design omits tie rods, providing a clean exterior that integrates easily into tight machinery layouts.
This unit is configured with a standard carbon steel piston rod and PT tapered G1/4 ports. The barrel includes integrated sensor grooves on both sides, allowing for direct mounting of CMSE or DMSE switches if position feedback is later required. Adjustable air cushions at both ends ensure smooth piston deceleration, protecting components from end-of-stroke impact.

Where the Airtac SAI40 Standard Air Cylinder SAI40X50CA Is Used
Package Sorting
Provides rapid 50mm stroke actuation to push or deflect lightweight packages on a high-speed distribution conveyor line.
Clamping Fixtures
Generates 628 N of clamping force at 0.5 MPa to secure small to medium workpieces during light machining or assembly operations.
Gate Control
Powers small access gates or machine guards, utilizing the adjustable end cushions to prevent slamming and mechanical wear.
Is the Airtac SAI40 Standard Air Cylinder SAI40X50CA the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 40mm bore when an adjacent 32mm bore (402 N push at 0.5 MPa) lacks sufficient thrust, but a 50mm bore (982 N) would be physically oversized. The 50mm stroke offers precise short-travel movement. For installations needing position holding without continuous air pressure, select the SAIL locking variant or an external rod lock, as standard air cushions only decelerate the piston and cannot hold a load.
To match this exact configuration for an ISO 15552 interchange, specify a 40mm bore, 50mm stroke, G1/4 PT port, CA clevis mounting accessory, and no magnet (-S). Always verify that the chosen CA clevis accommodates the pin size required by your mechanical linkage.
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 SAI40X50CA FAQ
