The AirTAC SAI50 Standard Cylinder SAI50AX160 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 160mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders at the mounting interface.
The AirTAC SAI50X160 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 50mm bore and 160mm stroke. It provides a push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for mid-range automation tasks. The extruded aluminum barrel eliminates protruding tie rods for a clean exterior.
This specific unit is configured with an SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (material code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance in humid environments. It uses PT tapered port threads and lacks a standard magnet, meaning it is optimized purely for actuation rather than position sensing.

Drives package diverters and sorting gates on packaging lines requiring 982 N of push force.
Actuates clamping arms and press fixtures where a 160mm stroke provides adequate travel.
Positions pallet stops and lifting mechanisms within automated storage and retrieval systems.
If your application requires less force, stepping down to a 40mm bore yields 628 N at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to a 63mm bore provides 1559 N. Because this is a 160mm stroke, it falls under standard lengths and does not inherently require external guiding, though side loads should always be minimized. Remember that a standard SAI cylinder relies on live air pressure to maintain its position; if pneumatic supply is lost, the rod will drift. For fail-safe load holding, consider the SAIL variant with an air-released lock. To match this ISO 15552 mounting interface, you need a 50mm bore, 160mm stroke, G1/4 port, and your chosen mounting accessory like an FA flange.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the SAI50X160 generates a push force of 982 N and a pull force of 825 N.
Yes, the SAI50X160 is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, allowing it to serve as a direct replacement for other standard profile cylinders.
