The AirTAC SAI63 Standard Cylinder SAI63BX500 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 500mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders at the mounting interface.
The AirTAC SAI63X500 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered to deliver a push force of 1559 N at 0.5 MPa. Its 500 mm stroke provides the extended travel needed for material handling and automated assembly tasks. The extruded aluminum barrel design omits tie rods, ensuring a clean exterior that drops directly into standardized ISO 15552 mounting footprints.
This specific configuration incorporates a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (material code B) for superior corrosion resistance in humid or washdown environments. It utilizes PT tapered port threads and lacks a standard magnet. For operations requiring end-position locking without continuous air pressure, the SAIL variant provides a dedicated pneumatic locking mechanism.

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.
Pushes products between parallel conveyor lines over a 500 mm gap, utilizing the 1559 N thrust to overcome friction on heavy pallets.
Elevates tote bins within storage racks; the SUS304 rod withstands potentially humid warehouse environments without surface degradation.
Drives sub-components into housings on an automated line, relying on adjustable air cushions to decelerate the 63 mm piston smoothly at stroke end.
Selecting this 63 mm bore unit makes sense when a 50 mm bore (982 N push at 0.5 MPa) lacks the necessary thrust, but an 80 mm bore (2513 N) would be physically oversized. At 500 mm of travel, the unsupported piston rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads. To prevent premature rod-bearing wear, implement an external linear guide or choose a guided cylinder module.
Because standard double-acting operation cannot hold a load safely upon air loss or valve centering, incorporate a pilot-operated check valve or specify the SAIL lock version for vertical loads. To match this exact ISO 15552 replacement, ensure the 63 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and appropriate mounting accessory (such as an LB foot or TC trunnion) are specified.
Quick checklist
At an operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm bore cylinder generates a push force of 1559 N and a pull force of 1402 N. If pressure increases to 0.7 MPa, the push force reaches 2182 N.
Yes, the SAI63X500 is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. You can drop it into existing mounts matching the 63 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, and G3/8 port layout without modifying the machine frame.
