About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX15S
The AirTAC SAI160X15-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for high-force, short-stroke applications. Operating at 0.5 MPa, it generates 10053 N of push force, scaling up to 18095 N at 0.9 MPa. The 15 mm stroke is optimal for compact clamping or holding tasks where a brief, powerful linear movement is required. As a genuine AirTAC product, it ensures reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.
This specific configuration features a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (material code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance and durability. The -S suffix indicates an integrated magnet, allowing seamless position detection with CMSE or DMSE switches fitted directly into the extruded aluminum barrel's dual sensor grooves. It also utilizes PT tapered port threads, ensuring a robust pneumatic connection for its G3/4 porting.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX15S Is Used
Heavy-Duty Clamping
Provides intense 10053 N clamping force for securing heavy metal workpieces during machining or welding operations.
Industrial Stamping
Ideal for short-stroke pressing, marking, or embossing tasks where a brief, high-impact linear force is necessary.
Press Fit Assembly
Delivers the precise, high-force linear motion needed to seat large bearings or bushings into heavy housings.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX15S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore cylinder is appropriate when your application requires massive thrust within a very tight footprint, as the 15 mm stroke minimizes retracted length. If you need slightly less force, stepping down to a 125 mm bore yields 6136 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas moving up to a 200 mm bore provides 15708 N. Because the stroke is well under 300 mm, side-load bending is negligible, but ensure your mounting interface matches the ISO 15552 standard. This model can serve as a direct dimensional direct replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders, matching the 160 mm bore, 15 mm stroke, PT G3/4 ports, and standard mounting accessories.
For applications requiring the piston to hold its position or clamp a load without continuous live air pressure, note that a standard SAI cylinder will drift or drop when air is exhausted. The adjustable air cushions at both ends only decelerate the piston near the stroke end; they do not lock the load. To maintain position without live pressure, consider the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (bidirectional clamp-lock) variants, or integrate an external rod 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.
