About the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100BX160
The AirTAC SAI100X160 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. Delivering a robust 5497N push force at 0.7 MPa, this 100mm bore unit handles substantial loads across its 160mm stroke. The extruded aluminum barrel design omits tie-rods, providing a clean exterior that resists debris accumulation.
This specific configuration features a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (option B) for superior corrosion resistance in wet or washdown environments. It utilizes PT tapered port threads and lacks a standard magnet. For high-temperature environments up to +70C, the standard TPU seals can be swapped for Viton (H) during a custom RFQ.

Where the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100BX160 Is Used
Heavy Stamping
Provides the necessary 5497N push force at 0.7 MPa for pressing bearings and forming heavy gauge metal components.
Pallet Diverting
Actuates heavy-duty routing gates on high-capacity packaging lines where the SUS304 rod withstands occasional washdowns.
Plastic Injection
Drives large mold ejection plates and heavy automated core pulls requiring a compact 160mm stroke footprint.
Is the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100BX160 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 100mm bore when a 80mm cylinder's 3518N push at 0.5 MPa is insufficient for your automation loads. If your application requires less force, stepping down reduces air consumption. Because this model lacks a magnet, position sensing requires external limit switches rather than the CMSE/DMSE slot sensors.
As a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it serves as a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 cylinders. Match your mounting hardware (LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion) and ensure your pneumatic plumbing matches the G1/2 port. If the machine loses air pressure, this standard cylinder cannot hold its load; specify the SAIL variant for pneumatic locking or use an external rod lock.
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 SAI100BX160 FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, this 100mm bore cylinder generates 5497N of push force and 5179N of pull force. At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927N.
Yes, the SAI100X160 is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. You can use it as a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders, provided your porting and mounting dimensions match.
