About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX180
The AirTAC SAI160X180 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. Utilizing an extruded aluminum barrel, this tie-rod-less design delivers a robust push force of 14074 N at 0.7 MPa. The 180 mm stroke is optimal for high-thrust pressing, lifting, and clamping operations.
This configuration features a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (material code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance compared to standard carbon steel. It uses PT tapered port threads, and because no magnet is specified, external position sensing requires external switches rather than the integrated sensor grooves.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX180 Is Used
Heavy-Duty Stamping
Provides the 14074 N force at 0.7 MPa required for forming and stamping thick metal components in automated fabrication lines.
Injection Mold Extraction
The 180 mm stroke offers the extended reach needed to extract large molded parts from deep injection machinery cavities reliably.
Pallet Lifting
Generates sufficient thrust to elevate heavy loaded pallets within high-throughput packaging and distribution centers.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX180 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 160 mm bore when an 80 mm cylinder (providing 3518 N push at 0.7 MPa) cannot meet your load demands, but you want to avoid the massive 3204 kgf theoretical maximum of the 200 mm bore. The 180 mm stroke provides substantial travel while keeping the overall length manageable for rigid mounting.
For any application requiring the piston to maintain its position without continuous air pressure, note that the standard adjustable air cushions only decelerate the rod at stroke ends. You must use an external pilot-operated check valve or specify the SAIL (air-released lock) variant to hold a load safely. As a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it serves as a direct replacement for other ISO 15552 cylinders, matching dimensions exactly when utilizing FA, LB, or TC 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 SAI160AX180 FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, this double-acting cylinder provides a push force of 14074 N and a pull force of 9425 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
No, the standard SAI cylinder will drift if air pressure is lost. The adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston at the end of the stroke. For fail-safe load holding, use an external rod lock or the AirTAC SAIL variant.
