About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX160S
The AirTAC SAI160X160-S 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 is built to move substantial masses. The 160 mm stroke provides the precise travel needed for large presses and material handling systems.
Equipped from the factory with a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (material code A), it offers excellent resistance to corrosion and scoring in harsh environments. The integrated magnet (-S) enables seamless position detection using CMSE or DMSE series switches housed within the dual sensor grooves on the extruded aluminum barrel. Fluid connections use PT tapered threads, and the adjustable air cushions at both ends absorb high impact energies at stroke completion.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX160S Is Used
Heavy Metal Forming
Provides the 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa required to actuate large stamping and forming dies in automated fabrication lines.
Injection Molding Extraction
Utilizes the integrated magnet and CMSE sensors to verify part ejection cycles on large tonnage injection molding machines.
Pallet Handling
Drives heavy-duty lifting and positioning mechanisms for oversized pallets, relying on the SUS420J2 rod to withstand industrial wear.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX160S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 160 mm bore when an application demands significantly more thrust than a 125 mm cylinder can provide, as the step up from 125 mm increases 0.5 MPa push force from 6136 N to 10053 N. If you need even more power, moving to a 200 mm bore yields 15708 N at the same pressure. For this 160 mm stroke, side loading is minimal, but always ensure rigid mounting using FA or FB flanges to support the cylinder's mass.
This standard SAI variant will drift if air pressure is lost, as the adjustable cushions only decelerate the piston at end-of-stroke and do not lock the load. For vertical applications requiring fail-safe holding without live pressure, specify the SAIL air-released lock variant or an external pilot-operated check valve. Being dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, it serves as a direct replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders, matching standard mounting footprints and G3/4 port sizing.
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.
