About the Airtac SAI63 Standard Cylinder SAI63X170S
The AirTAC SAI63X170-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for mid-range automation tasks. Delivering a push force of 1559 N at 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm bore unit paired with a 170 mm stroke hits a sweet spot for moving substantial jigs or clamping heavy workpieces. Its extruded aluminum barrel omits tie-rods, providing a clean exterior that drops directly into standardized ISO 15552 mounting footprints.
This specific configuration includes a piston magnet (-S) for position detection, allowing seamless integration with CMSE or DMSE reed switches along the dual sensor grooves. It features a standard carbon steel piston rod and utilizes a PT tapered port thread (G3/8) for reliable pneumatic sealing. For environments requiring higher heat resistance, the standard TPU seals can be swapped for Viton (H) or NBR (N) variants.

Where the Airtac SAI63 Standard Cylinder SAI63X170S Is Used
Heavy Workpiece Clamping
Provides 1559 N of clamping thrust at 0.5 MPa to secure heavy metal castings during CNC machining operations.
Pallet Indexing
Uses the 170 mm stroke to push heavy pallets smoothly onto secondary processing lines without overshooting.
Press Ejection
Cycles rapidly at up to 800 mm/s to eject formed parts from hydraulic presses, utilizing the integrated magnet for timing confirmation.
Is the Airtac SAI63 Standard Cylinder SAI63X170S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 63 mm bore makes sense when a 50 mm cylinder (offering 982 N push at 0.5 MPa) lacks the thrust for your payload, but an 80 mm unit (2513 N) would be physically oversized and consume excess air. The 170 mm stroke provides ample travel for indexing parts without the extreme space requirements of longer strokes. Because the stroke is under 300 mm, rod-bearing bending stress is minimal, though external guides should still be used for heavy off-center loads.
As a true ISO 15552 cylinder, this model is dimensionally interchangeable with other standard profile cylinders of the same bore. To complete your assembly, match the 63 mm bore, 170 mm stroke, G3/8 PT port, and your desired mounting accessory (such as an LB foot or TC trunnion). Note that this standard cylinder relies on adjustable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the piston; it does not hold position pneumatically. If your application requires the load to remain fixed during a pressure drop, specify the SAIL lock or BSAI clamp-lock variant instead.
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 SAI63 Standard Cylinder SAI63X170S FAQ
At a standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm bore cylinder generates 1559 N of push force and 1402 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 2182 N.
Yes, the SAI63X170-S is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. You can drop it into existing mountings matching the 63 mm bore and 170 mm stroke, provided your port and accessory clearances align.
