About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX175S
The AirTAC SAI160X175-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty operations. Delivering a robust 14074 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, this 160 mm bore unit is built to move substantial masses across its 175 mm stroke. The extruded aluminum barrel design eliminates exposed tie-rods, providing a clean exterior that resists contamination while maintaining the strict ISO 15552 mounting interface for seamless direct compatibility.
This specific configuration features a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (material code A), offering superior corrosion resistance compared to standard carbon steel. The integrated -S magnet enables direct mounting of CMSE or DMSE reed sensors along the dual grooves on the barrel. Fluid is filtered air, operating safely between -20 and +70 C with adjustable air cushions at both ends to protect against end-of-stroke impact.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX175S Is Used
Heavy-Duty Pressing
Provides up to 18095 N of force at 0.9 MPa for assembling large bearings and heavy mechanical components.
Automotive Body Welding
The SUS420J2 rod resists weld spatter and shop debris, making it ideal for holding large fixtures in automotive plants.
Pallet Stopping
Acts as a high-force stopper for heavy pallets on assembly lines, using the -S magnet to trigger CMSE position switches.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX175S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore is appropriate when application force requirements exceed the 5497 N push capacity of the 100 mm variant but do not necessitate stepping up to the 200 mm bore, which yields 21991 N at 0.7 MPa. The 175 mm stroke provides ample travel for clamping, pressing, or lifting tasks. Because the stroke is under 300 mm, side-load stress on the rod bearing is minimal, though external guides are always recommended if the load geometry induces lateral forces.
For applications requiring position holding during a loss of air pressure, note that the standard SAI cylinder will drift. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends; it does not act as a brake. To secure a load safely without live pressure, specify the SAIL variant with an air-released lock or the BSAI bidirectional clamp-lock cylinder. This model uses PT tapered port threads and standard ISO mounting accessories.
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.
Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX175S FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, this 160 mm bore cylinder generates 14074 N of push force and 9425 N of pull force. At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, the theoretical push force reaches 2050 kgf.
Yes, the SAI series is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 standards. You can direct replace existing ISO 15552 profile cylinders of the same bore and stroke. Ensure your port and mounting interface match the PT G3/4 threads and standard mounting accessories.
