The AirTAC SAI50 Standard Cylinder SAI50X120 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 120mm 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 SAI50X120 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 50mm bore and 120mm stroke. It delivers a robust 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for medium-duty industrial handling and processing tasks. The extruded aluminum barrel design omits tie rods, providing a clean exterior that simplifies mounting and sensor placement.
This specific configuration utilizes a standard carbon steel piston rod and PT tapered port threads. Because it lacks an integrated magnet, external reed switches like the CMSE or DMSE series are not supported without modification. For environments requiring elevated thermal resistance, the standard TPU seals can be swapped for Viton (H) or NBR (N) options.

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 the linear stroke and mid-range thrust needed to actuate diverter arms on high-speed packaging lines.
Secures workpieces during CNC machining or assembly operations where 982 N of force is adequate for rigid holding.
Automates the opening and closing of process gates or machine guards requiring a compact 50mm bore profile.
When selecting this actuator, verify if the 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa is sufficient, or if you should step up to the 63mm bore, which offers 1559 N at the same pressure. Conversely, if your load is lighter, the 40mm bore provides 628 N. This 120mm stroke is well within standard limits and does not require auxiliary side-load guides.
Keep in mind that a standard SAI cylinder relies on continuous air pressure to maintain its position. If your application loses air, the piston will drift; for positive holding without live pressure, consider the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (bidirectional clamp-lock) variants. Being dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, this unit serves as a direct replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders, matching standard foot, flange, and trunnion mounting interfaces.
Quick checklist
At an operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the SAI50X120 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 SAI50X120 is a genuine ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making its mounting interface dimensions interchangeable with other ISO 15552 standard cylinders. It uses a G1/4 port and standard mounting accessories.
