About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX180S
The AirTAC SAI160X180-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. Delivering a substantial 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa, this 160 mm bore unit is built to move massive loads reliably. The 180 mm stroke provides ample travel for large presses and material handling systems.
This variant features a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (option A) for superior corrosion resistance and durability in harsh environments. Equipped with a magnet for sensors (-S), it integrates seamlessly with CMSE and DMSE switches via the dual sensor grooves on the extruded aluminum barrel. The PT tapered port threading ensures a robust, leak-free pneumatic connection.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX180S Is Used
Heavy Metal Stamping
Provides the 10053 N force needed to operate large mechanical stamping presses and form thick metal components.
Automotive Assembly
Drives heavy-duty clamping and positioning fixtures on automotive production lines where high thrust is mandatory.
Pallet Handling
Lifts and indexes heavy loaded pallets in automated distribution centers using its robust 160 mm bore power.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX180S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 160 mm bore model when the 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa is required, stepping up significantly from the 6136 N offered by the 125 mm bore. For applications needing less force, the 80 mm bore provides 2513 N, making this SAI160X180-S ideal for heavy industrial pressing and lifting tasks.
The 180 mm stroke is well within standard limits, but always ensure external guides support any side loads to prevent rod-bearing bending. Note that the adjustable air cushions at both ends decelerate the piston smoothly but do not lock the load; if pressure drops, the piston will drift. For position holding without live pressure, consider the SAIL or BSAI locking variants. This genuine AirTAC unit offers true ISO 15552 mounting interchangeability.
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 SAI160AX180S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 160 mm bore cylinder provides 10053 N of push force and 9425 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 14074 N.
No, the standard SAI cylinder does not hold position when air pressure is lost. The adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends. Use the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (clamp-lock) variants for secure load holding.
