About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX170
The AirTAC SAI160X170 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. Delivering a substantial push force of 14074 N at 0.7 MPa, this 160 mm bore unit is built to drive high-inertia loads. The 170 mm stroke provides the precise extended reach needed for large presses and heavy material handling.
This configuration features a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (material code A) for enhanced resistance to moisture and corrosion compared to standard carbon steel. Fluid compatibility is limited to filtered air, operating efficiently between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa. For applications requiring position feedback, the extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, though a magnet (-S suffix) would need to be specified to utilize CMSE or DMSE switches.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX170 Is Used
Heavy Stamping Presses
Provides the 14074 N push force required to actuate large stamping dies and heavy forming presses over a 170 mm cycle.
Pallet Diverters
Handles robust side-loading tasks to divert heavy pallets on high-throughput packaging and distribution conveyor lines.
Large Mold Clamping
Secures substantial injection molds or heavy industrial fixtures during machining and assembly operations.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX170 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore provides 14074 N of thrust at 0.7 MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 125 mm bore yields 8590 N at the same pressure, while moving up to the 200 mm bore offers 21991 N. Because this cylinder uses adjustable air cushions at both ends (50 mm cushion stroke), it effectively decelerates massive loads without external shock absorbers.
This model utilizes PT tapered port threads and a G3/4 port size. It serves as a dimensionally interchangeable direct replacement per ISO 15552 mounting interfaces. Note that a standard SAI cylinder relies on continuous air pressure to hold a load; if pneumatic supply is lost, the piston will drift. For dead-load holding, consider the SAIL variant with an air-released lock or the BSAI bidirectional clamp-lock cylinder.
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.
