About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX135
The AirTAC SAI160X135 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. Delivering a robust 14074 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, this 160 mm bore unit handles substantial loads with ease. The 135 mm stroke provides extended travel for demanding industrial tasks. Its extruded aluminum barrel design omits tie-rods, offering a clean exterior that simplifies cleaning and maintenance.
This specific configuration features an SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (material code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance in humid or mildly chemically exposed environments. Fluid connections use PT tapered threads. For applications requiring position feedback, the barrel lacks a magnet (-S not specified), but the extrusion includes dual sensor grooves ready to accept CMSE or DMSE switches if a magnetic piston is added later.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX135 Is Used
Heavy Stamping
Provides the high thrust necessary for forming and stamping thick metal components in automated fabrication lines.
Injection Molding
Actuates large mold halves and heavy platens, utilizing the SUS420J2 rod to resist environmental wear in warm production cells.
Pallet Handling
Drives robust lifting and positioning mechanisms for oversized pallets, relying on 14074 N of force to move heavy loads reliably.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX135 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore is ideal when 100 mm cylinders (providing 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa) lack the necessary thrust for high-tonnage operations. If even greater force is required, stepping up to the 200 mm bore yields 21991 N at the same pressure. Because this model features a 135 mm stroke, it remains compact enough to avoid severe rod-bearing bending, though external guides are always recommended if heavy side loads are present.
As a true ISO 15552 cylinder, it serves as a direct replacement for other standard profile cylinders with identical mounting dimensions. To secure a load mechanically without constant air pressure, do not rely on the adjustable air cushions; instead, specify the SAIL variant with an air-released lock or the BSAI bidirectional clamp-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.
