About the Airtac SAI63 Standard Cylinder SAI63BX500S
The AirTAC SAI63X500-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for rigorous duty cycles. It provides a robust push force of 1559 N at 0.5 MPa and 2182 N at 0.7 MPa, making it a strong choice for mid-weight manipulation. The 500 mm stroke delivers ample extension for automated routing and indexing tasks.
Built to exact ISO 15552 mounting dimensions, this unit serves as a direct replacement for comparable profile cylinders. It features a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and includes a magnet (-S) for seamless operation with CMSE or DMSE reed switches via the dual side sensor grooves. PT tapered ports ensure a positive, leak-free pneumatic connection.

Where the Airtac SAI63 Standard Cylinder SAI63BX500S Is Used
Automated Routing
Drives long-travel linear actuators in CNC material routing and woodworking machinery where a 500 mm extension is required to clear the work envelope.
Package Push-Off
Executes 500 mm transfer strokes to push heavy pallets or totes from conveyor lines into downstream wrapping stations.
Press Ejection
Provides reliable 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa to eject molded components from mid-sized fabrication presses.
Is the Airtac SAI63 Standard Cylinder SAI63BX500S the Right Cylinder?
If your application demands less push energy, stepping down to a 50 mm bore yields 982 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas upgrading to an 80 mm bore provides 2513 N. Because this 500 mm stroke generates significant rod extension, side loads can severely stress the rod bearing and cause premature wear. Always utilize an external guide rail or a dedicated guided cylinder to absorb lateral forces and prevent rod bending.
This model uses a G3/8 port, an M16x1.5 rod thread, and a 36 mm cushion length. Note that the standard adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke ends; they will not hold a load if air pressure drops. For position holding without live pressure, select the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (clamp-lock) variant.
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.
