The AirTAC SAI50 Standard Cylinder SAI50AX160S 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-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered to deliver 982 N of push thrust at 0.5 MPa. Its 160 mm stroke strikes an optimal balance for mid-range actuation, while the extruded aluminum barrel omits tie-rods for a clean, modern exterior.
This specific configuration includes a -S magnet for direct compatibility with CMSE and DMSE sensor switches, which ride securely in the dual side grooves. It is also built with an SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (material code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance, and features PT tapered port threads.

Related SAI-family variants: SAID (double rod), SAIJ (adjustable stroke), SAIL (with lock), SAIF (with valve), BSAI (enclasp / clamp-lock), and SAI-S with built-in magnet. Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B); seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N.
Provides reliable push force to eject molded parts from machinery, utilizing the 160 mm stroke to clear the work area completely.
Actuates routing gates on packaging lines, where the 982 N thrust at 0.5 MPa easily redirects heavy cartons onto secondary tracks.
Functions as a robust stop mechanism for pallets on gravity conveyors, holding loads securely in place while live pressure is applied.
Select this 50 mm bore when an application requires stepping up from a 40 mm bore's 628 N output, but a 63 mm bore's 1559 N would be excessive. The 160 mm stroke provides ample extension for standard gating and lifting tasks.
Because the stroke is 160 mm, evaluate the rod bearing for potential bending if heavy side loads are present; utilizing an external guide rail ensures smooth, non-binding travel. As a standard double-acting actuator, it relies on continuous air pressure to maintain its position—if the air supply drops, the piston will drift. For dead-load holding, consider the SAIL variant with an air-released lock. This model is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching bore, stroke, G1/4 port, and standard mounting accessories like FA flanges or TC trunnions.
Quick checklist
At a 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 50 mm bore cylinder generates 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 1374 N.
Yes, the SAI50X160-S is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. You can drop it into existing setups matching the 50 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, and G1/4 port dimensions without modifying the mounting footprint.
