About the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100AX160S
The AirTAC SAI100X160-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. It delivers a robust push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa, extending 160 mm to drive high-inertia loads. The extruded aluminum barrel eliminates tie-rods, providing a rigid yet lightweight frame that drops directly into standardized ISO 15552 mounting interfaces.
This specific configuration includes a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (material code A) for superior corrosion resistance in humid environments. Equipped with a magnet (-S), it seamlessly integrates with CMSE and DMSE sensor switches housed in the dual side grooves. Fluid compatibility requires filtered 40 um air, operating safely between -20 and +70 C.

Where the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100AX160S Is Used
Heavy Stamping
Drives large press dies and stamping fixtures requiring high kinetic energy and a 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa.
Pallet Diversion
Actuates heavy-duty lane diverters and sorting gates on high-throughput packaging conveyors.
Injection Molding
Extracts large molded parts from injection machines, utilizing the 160 mm stroke and robust SUS420J2 rod.
Is the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100AX160S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 100 mm bore when an 80 mm cylinder falls short—its 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa is insufficient—but you need to step up to 3927 N. The 160 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum, keeping rod-bearing bending stress low without requiring external guides. PT tapered port threads ensure a tight, leak-free pneumatic connection.
Because this is a standard double-acting cylinder, it cannot hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve centers; the piston will drift. For vertical loads requiring fail-safe holding without live pressure, specify the SAIL variant with an air-released lock or the BSAI bidirectional clamp-lock. For interchangeability, match the 100 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and your required mounting accessory (such as FA flange or TC trunnion).
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 SAI100AX160S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this cylinder provides 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force. If you increase the operating pressure to 0.7 MPa, the push force rises to 5497 N.
Yes. The SAI100X160-S is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. You can drop it in as a replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders by matching the 100 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and mounting accessories.
