The AirTAC SAI50 Standard Cylinder SAI50X290 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 290mm 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 SAI50X290 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 50mm bore and 290mm stroke. It generates a push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for medium-duty industrial handling tasks that require a longer travel range.
This model features a standard carbon steel piston rod and utilizes PT tapered port threads. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, allowing for direct mounting of CMSE or DMSE switches if position feedback is required 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.
Ideal for actuating diverter arms on conveyor lines where the 982 N force class easily redirects medium-weight packages over a 290mm reach.
Provides a consistent 290mm stroke for pressing small bearings or pins into housings on automated assembly machinery.
Suitable for lifting workpieces vertically, provided an external guide is used to prevent rod bending during the extended 290mm travel.
If an application requires slightly less force, stepping down to a 40mm bore yields 628 N at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to a 63mm bore provides 1559 N for heavier loads. Because this 290mm stroke approaches the mid-range of the standard capacity, it is crucial to manage side loads. Unsupported rods can bend under lateral stress, so utilizing an external guide rail or a guided cylinder mechanism is strongly recommended for stable operation.
As a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, this unit is dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders, serving as a direct replacement. It uses a G1/4 port, an M16x1.5 rod thread, and can be paired with FA or LB mounting accessories. Note that a standard SAI does not hold its load when air pressure is lost; for fail-safe holding, consider the SAIL variant with an air-released lock.
Quick checklist
The SAI50X290 generates a push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa and 1374 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, it is a genuine ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders of the same bore size and mounting interface.
