About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX120S
The AirTAC SAI160X120-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty operations, delivering a substantial push force of 14074 N at 0.7 MPa. Its 120 mm stroke provides the precise linear movement required for high-tonnage pressing, clamping, and lifting tasks. As a genuine AirTac component, it ensures reliable performance in rigorous industrial environments.
This specific configuration includes a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (material code A) for enhanced corrosion and wear resistance compared to standard carbon steel. Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S), it seamlessly integrates with CMSE and DMSE sensor switches housed in the dual-side grooves of its extruded aluminum barrel. Fluid control is managed via PT tapered port threads, and the cylinder incorporates adjustable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the massive 160 mm piston smoothly.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX120S Is Used
Heavy-Duty Stamping
Provides the 14074 N push force at 0.7 MPa necessary for forming, stamping, and riveting thick metal components in automated fabrication lines.
Injection Mold Clamping
Utilizes its 120 mm stroke and robust 160 mm profile barrel to secure heavy molds and dies, ensuring precise alignment during high-pressure manufacturing cycles.
Pallet Lifting
Lifts and positions fully loaded industrial pallets, relying on the SUS420J2 stainless steel rod to withstand harsh environments and high dynamic loads.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX120S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore cylinder is ideal when your application demands extremely high thrust, such as replacing a 125 mm bore unit that only provides 8590 N push force at 0.7 MPa. If 14074 N is excessive for your system, stepping down to an 80 mm bore yields 3518 N at the same pressure, which may better suit lighter loads and conserve compressed air.
Because the 120 mm stroke is relatively short for this large bore, side-load stress on the rod bearing is minimized compared to longer strokes. However, remember that the standard SAI does not lock or hold position when air pressure is removed; the piston will drift. If your application requires dead-stop holding under zero pressure, specify the SAIL variant with an air-released lock or the BSAI bidirectional clamp-lock cylinder.
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 SAI160AX120S FAQ
