About the Airtac SAI50 Standard Cylinder SAI50AX280
The AirTAC SAI50X280 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder offering a 280 mm stroke. It generates 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for mid-range actuation tasks that require substantial travel distance.
This specific configuration features a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (material code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance. It utilizes PT tapered port threads and lacks a standard magnet, meaning it is optimized for purely mechanical actuation without internal sensor tracking.

Where the Airtac SAI50 Standard Cylinder SAI50AX280 Is Used
Material Diverting
Ideal for actuating diverter arms on packaging lines where the 280 mm stroke provides the necessary reach to redirect goods between adjacent conveyor belts.
Component Pushing
Provides reliable horizontal thrust to seat bearings or align sheet metal components within machining centers before final clamping occurs.
Case Erecting
Drives the folding mechanisms on automated carton erectors, utilizing its 982 N push force to reliably manipulate heavy cardboard packaging.
Is the Airtac SAI50 Standard Cylinder SAI50AX280 the Right Cylinder?
If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 40 mm bore yields 628 N at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to the 63 mm bore provides 1559 N. Because this 280 mm stroke creates a long unsupported rod, avoid side-load damage by using an external guide rail or a guided cylinder to prevent rod-bearing bending.
This model uses PT tapered ports and a SUS420J2 rod. As an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it mounts interchangeably with standard FA/FB flanges or TC trunnions. Remember that the adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke ends; they do not hold loads. Use the SAIL variant for secure pneumatic locking when air pressure is lost.
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 SAI50 Standard Cylinder SAI50AX280 FAQ
