About the Airtac SAI50 Standard Cylinder SAI50X5
The AirTAC SAI50X5 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for ultra-short stroke applications. It delivers a push force of 982 N and a pull force of 825 N at 0.5 MPa, making it highly effective for compact clamping and pressing tasks. This 5 mm stroke variant utilizes a standard carbon steel piston rod and features PT tapered port threads for secure pneumatic connections.
Designed with an extruded aluminum barrel, this genuine AirTAC unit includes sensor grooves on both sides for CMSE or DMSE switches, provided a magnet is specified. For operations requiring higher heat resistance, the standard TPU seals can be swapped for Viton (H) or NBR (N) alternatives to match demanding environmental conditions.

Where the Airtac SAI50 Standard Cylinder SAI50X5 Is Used
Short-Stroke Clamping
Ideal for holding components firmly in place during machining or welding operations using its 982 N push force.
Compact Ejector
Provides a rapid 5 mm kick to eject small finished parts from tight fixtures without requiring large machine clearances.
Spot Pressing
Useful for inserting small pins or rivets into assemblies where a brief, controlled impact is necessary.
Is the Airtac SAI50 Standard Cylinder SAI50X5 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 50 mm bore when a 40 mm bore falls short on thrust, as the 50 mm provides 982 N at 0.5 MPa compared to the 40 mm's 628 N. The 5 mm stroke is optimal for brief, high-force movements rather than full material handling. Because the stroke is exceptionally short, rod-bearing bending is a non-issue, but ensure your mounting footprint matches the ISO 15552 interface.
This cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is removed; the piston will drift. For dead-end clamping without continuous live pressure, integrate an external pilot-operated check valve or select the SAIL variant. To mount this actuator, choose from standard ISO 15552 accessories like FA flanges or TC trunnions, and add the -S magnet if position sensing is required.
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 SAI50X5 FAQ
At an operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the SAI50X5 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 SAI50X5 is built to the ISO 15552 standard, meaning its mounting dimensions are fully interchangeable with other ISO 15552 profile cylinders. It uses a G1/4 port and standard ISO mounting accessories.
