About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX170S
The AirTAC SAI160X170-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. Delivering a robust 14074 N push force at 0.7 MPa, this 160 mm bore unit is built to move substantial masses. The 170 mm stroke provides ample extension for large-scale clamping and pressing tasks.
This specific configuration incorporates a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (material code A) for superior corrosion and scratch resistance. It includes a built-in magnet (-S) for seamless integration with CMSE or DMSE reed sensors, utilizing the dual sensor grooves machined into the extruded aluminum barrel. Fluid connections use PT tapered threads.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX170S Is Used
Heavy Stamping
Provides the high tonnage needed to form thick-gauge metal brackets and stamp industrial components.
Large Mold Clamping
Holds oversized injection molds or heavy foundry patterns securely in place during processing.
Automated Press Brakes
Drives the primary ram in large-scale automated press brake systems requiring immense thrust.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX170S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore over the smaller 125 mm option upgrades your push force from 8590 N to 14074 N at 0.7 MPa, while stepping up further to the 200 mm bore yields 21991 N. The 170 mm stroke falls below the 300 mm threshold, so standard rod-bearing bending is minimal. However, for extreme lateral loads, an external guide rail is always recommended.
Because the adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near the end caps, this cylinder will drift if air pressure is lost. If your fixture requires dead-stop holding without live pressure, specify the SAIL variant with an air-released lock or the BSAI bidirectional clamp-lock. As a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it drops directly into any standardized PT port, FA flange, or CA clevis mounting footprint.
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.
