About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX1000
The AirTAC SAI160X1000 is a robust double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty motion. It features a 160mm bore and a 1000mm stroke, generating 10053 N of push force and 9425 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. This model is equipped with a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (code A) for superior corrosion resistance and utilizes PT tapered port threads.
Designed for demanding environments, the extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for direct mounting of CMSE or DMSE switches. While this specific configuration omits the magnet option, the cylinder retains adjustable air cushions at both ends (50 mm cushion length) to manage high kinetic energy. For operations requiring bidirectional clamping or fail-safe holding, consider the related BSAI clamp-lock series.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX1000 Is Used
Heavy Stamping
Provides the high thrust necessary for metal forming, punching, and heavy-duty stamping presses.
Large Material Handling
Ideal for actuating massive conveyor diverters or moving heavy pallets over long 1000mm distances.
Automotive Assembly
Handles large structural components or robotic welding fixtures requiring substantial reach and force.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX1000 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160mm bore over the smaller 125mm bore yields a significant force jump, stepping up from 6136 N to 10053 N at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less thrust, the 100mm bore offers 3927 N. Because this model features a 1000mm stroke, the extended rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads; always utilize external guide rails or a guided carriage to prevent premature rod-bearing wear.
As a dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 profile cylinder, this unit serves as a direct replacement for other ISO 15552 standard cylinders. Match your mounting hardware (such as CA clevis or TC trunnion) and ensure your pneumatic supply is filtered to 40 um. Note that a standard SAI cylinder will drift if air pressure is lost; use an external rod lock for vertical load-holding applications.
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 SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX1000 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 160mm bore cylinder provides 10053 N of push force and 9425 N of pull force. At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, the theoretical push force reaches 2050 kgf.
Yes, the SAI160X1000 is a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders of the same bore and stroke. Ensure your mounting accessories and PT port connections match.
