About the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100BX160S
The AirTAC SAI100X160-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and 160mm stroke. It delivers a substantial 5497N of push force at 0.7MPa, making it well-suited for heavy-duty positioning tasks. This specific configuration includes a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and a magnet for direct compatibility with CMSE and DMSE sensor switches.
Because it adheres strictly to the ISO 15552 dimensional standard, this cylinder functions as a seamless drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders without requiring mounting interface changes. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, and you can configure the adjustable air cushions at both ends to precisely decelerate heavy 100mm payloads at the stroke limits.

Where the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100BX160S Is Used
Heavy Stamping Press
Provides the 5497N push force at 0.7MPa needed to drive heavy stamping and forming dies in automated metal fabrication lines.
Pallet Diversion
Actuates heavy-duty pallet diverter arms on high-throughput packaging conveyors where the 160mm stroke ensures complete lane transition.
Plastic Mold Ejection
Utilizes the SUS304 stainless steel rod to safely eject large plastic molded parts in humid or washdown manufacturing environments.
Is the Airtac SAI100 Standard Air Cylinder SAI100BX160S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 100mm bore when your application requires more force than the 80mm option (which provides 3518N at 0.7MPa) but you want to avoid the physical bulk of a 125mm body. The 160mm stroke offers ample travel for mid-range actuation. If your machinery experiences high side loads, consider pairing this cylinder with an external guide rail to prevent premature rod-bearing wear.
For drop-in ISO 15552 replacements, verify the 100mm bore, 160mm stroke, G1/2 port, and your required mounting accessory (such as FA flange or TC trunnion). Remember that the standard double-acting SAI relies on continuous air pressure to hold a load; if pneumatic supply drops, the rod will drift. For fail-safe load holding, integrate the SAIL variant with an air-released lock or use an external pilot-operated check valve.
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 SAI100BX160S FAQ
At a standard operating pressure of 0.7MPa, the SAI100X160-S generates 5497N of push force and 3681N of pull force. It can reach a theoretical maximum of 801 kgf at 1.0MPa.
Yes, the SAI100X160-S is dimensionally interchangeable with any standard ISO 15552 profile cylinder. You can swap it directly if your existing mounting interface, 100mm bore, 160mm stroke, and G1/2 port sizes match.
