About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX160
The AirTAC SAI160X160 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. Delivering a substantial 14074 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, this 160 mm bore unit is built to move massive loads across its 160 mm stroke. The extruded aluminum barrel design omits traditional tie-rods, providing a smooth, compact exterior that withstands rigorous industrial cycling.
This specific configuration features a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (material code A) for superior corrosion and scratch resistance in harsh environments. It utilizes PT tapered port threads for secure, leak-free pneumatic connections. Because the -S magnet option is omitted, position sensing must be handled externally, though the barrel retains its dual-sided sensor grooves for future flexibility.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX160 Is Used
Heavy-Duty Stamping
Generates 14074 N of thrust at 0.7 MPa for forming, riveting, and pressing thick metal components in automated fabrication lines.
Large Mold Clamping
Provides the robust holding power required to secure large injection molds or heavy tooling fixtures during high-stress manufacturing cycles.
Industrial Lifting
Lifts and positions heavy machinery parts or palletized materials, utilizing the durable SUS420J2 stainless steel rod to resist surface wear.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX160 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore is ideal when a 100 mm bore (5497 N push at 0.7 MPa) is insufficient for your mass, but a full 200 mm bore is physically too large for your machine envelope. The 160 mm stroke provides ample extension for heavy clamping or pressing tasks. Remember that a standard SAI cylinder relies entirely on live air pressure to maintain its position; if your application risks dropping a suspended load upon air loss, specify the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (bidirectional clamp-lock) variant instead of relying on the cushion.
As a true ISO 15552 standard cylinder, this model is dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 profile cylinders, making it a seamless direct replacement. To complete your assembly, pair this unit with PT port fittings, an appropriate ISO 15552 mounting accessory (such as a CA clevis or LB foot), and ensure your air supply is filtered to 40 um.

- ✓ 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 SAI160AX160 FAQ
