The AirTAC Airtac SAI50 Standard Cylinder SAI50BX5 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 5mm 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 SAI50X5 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for ultra-short actuation. Delivering a push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore unit is tailored for high-impact duties requiring minimal travel. The 5 mm stroke excels in rapid clamping and ejection cycles. Its extruded aluminum barrel omits tie rods, presenting a clean, standardized exterior.
This specific configuration features a SUS304 stainless steel rod, providing superior corrosion resistance for harsh or washdown environments. It utilizes PT tapered port threading and is built without a magnet. The barrel incorporates dual-sided sensor grooves, allowing flexible mounting of switches if a magnet-equipped variant is adopted later.

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.
Uses the 982 N push force to rapidly eject finished parts from molds or dies within a tight 5 mm space.
Ideal for securing heavy workpieces during machining, leveraging the robust 50 mm bore for rigid holding.
Serves as a heavy-duty stopper in automated lines where a short, solid physical barrier is required.
Choose this 50 mm bore when a 40 mm bore (628 N at 0.5 MPa) lacks the necessary push strength for your short-journey task. If your application requires even greater force, stepping up to the 63 mm bore yields 1559 N. Because the 5 mm stroke is extremely short, side-load bending is negligible, though precise rod alignment remains vital to prevent premature seal wear.
As a standard double-acting actuator, this cylinder will drift if air pressure is lost. It cannot hold a load mid-stroke without live pressure; for fail-safe holding, consider the SAIL variant with an air-released lock. This model is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, featuring a G1/4 port, and supports mounting accessories like FA flanges or TC trunnions.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 50 mm bore cylinder generates a push force of 982 N and a pull force of 825 N.
Yes, the SAI50X5 is a genuine ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 standard cylinders of the same bore size.
