The AirTAC Airtac SAI50 Standard Cylinder SAI50AX55 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 55mm 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 SAI50X55 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered to deliver a push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa. Its 55 mm stroke provides a compact extension distance perfectly suited for short-cycle clamping and ejection tasks on automated machinery.
Built with an extruded aluminum barrel, this unit features a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (material code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance in humid environments. It utilizes PT tapered port threads and includes adjustable air cushions at both ends to manage impact deceleration smoothly.

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.
Ideal for securing lightweight metal or composite parts during machining operations where a 982 N clamping force is sufficient.
Provides rapid, short-distance pushing power to divert or eject packages from a conveyor line into a secondary packaging station.
Actuates small pneumatic gates and diverters on processing lines, utilizing its 55 mm stroke to shift product flow efficiently.
Selecting this bore size makes sense when a 40 mm bore (628 N at 0.5 MPa) lacks the necessary push strength but stepping up to a 63 mm bore (1559 N) would be physical overkill for the machine envelope. The 55 mm stroke is highly efficient for tight spacing.
Because this is a standard double-acting cylinder, it relies entirely on continuous air pressure to hold its load; if air is exhausted, the piston will drift. For applications requiring strict position holding without live pressure, consider the SAIL locking variant. To mount this as a direct replacement, match the 50 mm bore, 55 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and any standard ISO 15552 accessory like an FA flange or LB foot bracket.
Quick checklist
At an operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore cylinder generates a push force of 982 N and a pull force of 825 N. If pressure is increased to 0.7 MPa, the push force rises to 1374 N.
Yes. The SAI50X55 is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. As long as your existing cylinder follows the ISO 15552 mounting interface, it can serve as a direct replacement.
