About the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100AX160
The AirTAC SAI100X160 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and 160mm stroke. It generates 3927N of push force at 0.5MPa, making it well-suited for heavy-duty positioning tasks. The extruded aluminum barrel omits tie rods, providing a clean exterior that drops directly into standard ISO 15552 mounting interfaces.
This specific configuration uses an SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (material code A) for superior corrosion resistance compared to standard carbon steel. It features PT tapered port threads (G1/2) and lacks a piston magnet, meaning it is optimized purely for actuation rather than electronic position sensing.

Where the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100AX160 Is Used
Heavy Stamping
Provides the robust 3927N push force required to actuate heavy stamping and forming presses reliably.
Pallet Diverter
Shifts heavy pallets along high-capacity conveyor lines using a balanced 160mm stroke length.
Automated Welding
Positions large welding fixtures with high structural stability and SUS420J2 rod corrosion resistance.
Is the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100AX160 the Right Cylinder?
With a 100mm bore yielding 3927N at 0.5MPa, stepping down to an 80mm bore reduces the output to 2513N, while moving up to 125mm increases it to 6136N. For this 160mm stroke, side-load bending is minimal, but always ensure the load is guided to prevent rod-bearing wear.
This model is dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders. When ordering, confirm the 100mm bore, 160mm stroke, G1/2 PT ports, and your required mounting accessory (such as an FA flange or TC trunnion). Because it lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot host CMSE or DMSE sensors; if sensing is needed, specify the -S option. Note that this cylinder will drift if air pressure is lost; use a SAIL or BSAI variant if the application requires position holding.
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 SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100AX160 FAQ
