About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX15
The AirTAC SAI160X15 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for extreme short-stroke power. It generates 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it ideal for high-impact pressing. The extruded aluminum barrel design omits tie rods, providing a clean exterior that drops directly into standard ISO 15552 mounting interfaces.
Built for durability in harsh environments, this specific configuration uses a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (material code A) for superior corrosion resistance. It utilizes PT tapered port threads, and because no magnet is specified, it operates without electronic position sensing.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX15 Is Used
Heavy-Duty Stamping
Delivers massive 10053 N pressing power for deforming or marking thick metal plates within a highly constrained 15 mm travel distance.
Industrial Clamping
Secures large fabricated steel weldments during machining operations, utilizing its robust SUS420J2 stainless steel rod to withstand repetitive lateral stress.
Riveting Assembly
Provides the intense, short-impact force necessary to set heavy structural rivets in automotive chassis and heavy equipment manufacturing lines.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX15 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 160 mm bore cylinder when 100 mm bore models (providing 3927 N at 0.5 MPa) cannot meet your force requirements. The 15 mm stroke is optimized for compact, high-force clamping or stamping tasks where space is strictly limited. For any application that must maintain a load position without continuous air pressure, note that the standard SAI adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston at stroke end; they do not lock the rod. You should specify an SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (clamp-lock) variant for secure load holding.
Because the stroke is very short, side-load stress on the rod bearing is minimal compared to longer units. To ensure a perfect direct replacement, verify the 160 mm bore, 15 mm stroke, PT port thread, and your required ISO 15552 mounting accessory (such as a TC trunnion or LB foot).
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 SAI160AX15 FAQ
At a standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the 160 mm bore produces 10053 N of push force and 9425 N of pull force. It can reach up to 18095 N push at 0.9 MPa.
Yes. The SAI is a genuine ISO 15552 profile cylinder, meaning its mounting dimensions are standardized for direct replacement of other ISO 15552 cylinders, provided you match the 160 mm bore, 15 mm stroke, and PT port.
