About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX125
The AirTAC SAI160X125 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. Delivering a substantial 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it is built to handle massive payloads. The 125 mm stroke provides the precise extension needed for high-impact pressing, heavy lifting, and robust indexing tasks.
This model features a corrosion-resistant SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (option A), making it suitable for humid or mildly aggressive environments. It uses PT tapered port threads and includes adjustable air cushions at both ends to absorb the kinetic energy of its large moving mass. The extruded aluminum barrel integrates dual sensor grooves, allowing direct mounting of CMSE or DMSE switches if position feedback is later required.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX125 Is Used
Heavy Metal Stamping
Provides the 10053 N push force required to operate large mechanical stamping presses and heavy-duty forming dies.
Automotive Assembly
Ideal for positioning heavy chassis components or applying high clamping pressure during robotic welding cycles.
Pallet Handling
Drives robust lift mechanisms and heavy-load pushers in automated distribution centers handling full pallets.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX125 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore makes sense when the 125 mm bore (providing 6136 N at 0.5 MPa) cannot generate enough thrust for your heavy machinery. Conversely, if you need to move even greater loads, the 200 mm bore offers 15708 N at 0.5 MPa. Because the 125 mm stroke is relatively short, rod-bearing bending is minimal, but always ensure the load is guided to prevent side loads from stressing the piston seals.
For an exact dimensional direct replacement, match the 160 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, PT G3/4 port thread, and your required mounting accessory (such as an LB foot or TC trunnion). Note that this specific configuration does not include a magnet (-S); if you require electronic position sensing, select the -S variant or add external reed switches. If your application must hold a load vertically when air pressure is removed, a standard SAI cylinder will drift; you should specify the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (bidirectional clamp-lock) variant instead.
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.
